Lyrics
Open your eyes and you'll see
Mad faces all around our community
Protesting human race cruelty
Highlight is police brutality
In the middle of calamity
We forget the word unity
Its a clash of clan of ethnicity
Staring white and black party
Ohh tell me how, ohh tell me when
This funky situation needs to end
Lord have mercy for everybody
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
Jah people please help me, please release me
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ohhh we're crying out for change
We want peace but all we're getting is resistance
Jah people help me please, I am down on my knees
We're getting tired of adding more names
I don't think I want things to go back to the same
Things will never be the same
We are the change
Why we need to get divided
When its easy to give love respect added
Multiply life by the love founded
Animosity, negativity subtracted
Some people are born greedy
Some men in uniform overuse power while in duty
Some dudes in politics works dirty
Some pretend they're good behind your back they talk crapy
Ohh tell me how, ohh tell me when
This funky situation needs to end
Lord have mercy for everybody
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
Jah people please help me, please release me
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
Me breathe is gone, I'm at a loss for words
And I'm struggling to believe that this here is my world
No it don't seem right all of this smite and sufferin'
Another life gone to the media he was supposed to live
No it don't seem right, huh, but he never did
It takes my breath away this is the world we live in
Where is the love for humanity
Where is the respect for equality
Where is the care for the community
It'll be gone when you keep on stepping on somebodies dignity, yeah
Lord have mercy for everybody
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
Jah people please help me, please release me
I'm suffocated I can't breathe
Ohh tell me how, ohh tell me when
This funky situation needs to end
Ohh tell me how, ohh tell me when
This funky situation needs to end
