I Can't Breathe

Got a text on my phone just the other day

Lost a good friend she had to fly away

Tears on my cheek while I stare at the sun

Mourning for me has just begun

Just too young to be gone this soon

Now her spirit’s so high, rising past the moon

Lord I stretch my hand to You

Don’t know what I’m gonna do

I can’t breathe

Born a boy but now a full grown man

You don’t seem to want to understand

You don’t wanna know a thing about me

Just I’m not where I’m supposed to be

On the side of the road with my hands up high

Holes in my body I’m afraid to die

On and on the story goes

how it ends nobody knows

I can’t breathe

(guitar solo)

Black lives in this society

You love my culture but you don’t love me

Evil’s so loud but silence from my friends

Knee in my back is how my story may end

March in the streets time to make a stand,

Give each other a helping hand

Why you so loud, why you so mad? Cuz you don’t think it’s so bad?

Time is now, tomorrow’s too late, please don’t hesitate

The question is what will you do, when they come for you?

I Can’t Breathe
