lyrics

From Selma Alabama

The people are crying out
I can’t breathe
From a corner in NYC
To the streets of Atlanta
The people doth protest
I can’t breathe
Be it by the hands of man
Or the stroke of a pen
By law or legislation
They cut off our air
Look us in the air and dare us to protect ourselves
Our right as men
But we will yell until the world stop spinning
It’s our right as men

I CAN’T BREATHE

I can’t breathe when you cut me off from the food that sustains me
I can’t breathe with your knee on my neck while you try to detain me
I can’t breathe when I see my son
Walking out the door
and the fear that I won’t ever
See him anymore
I can’t breathe when your power
Isn’t aligned with my spirit
I just want to be free to express myself without fear of prosecution
I can’t breathe when I see lies
Perpetrated by the system
You hold us down to the ground
Justice is nowhere to be ground
So how does justice even listen
When it’s set up to oppress, stress and keep us blind
This just didn’t happen yesterday
It’s been happening the whole damn time

We care more about the bottom line
Then the people of your nation
When you take away your neighbors’ land
And then you try to erase them
When you keep you people blind to the truth
So they only hear your voice
You take away their hope
To ever have a choice
