I Can't Breathe
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
When did my life become so cheap?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
Can somebody hear me crying out?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
You taking another man's life with ease
I say!
I can't breathe
I can't take a breathe and it hurts so deep!
Mr. Officer
I thought you were brought to protect me
Now you choking me
You killing me
In front of the world
Every eye can see
Why do you do that?
Is this what you good at?
Where did I go wrong?
Or you just too strong?
Is it because of my skin colour?
Is it because I am black?
Living in the lion's den is safer
Than to live in your world
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
When did my life become so cheap?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
Can somebody hear me crying out?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
You taking another man's life with ease
I say!
I can't breathe
I can't take a breathe and it hurts so deep!
I woke up this morning
In a happy mood
All of a sudden
I saw in the news
An innocent man gunned down
Surprisingly the murderer is walking around
Your city is full of terrorism
Yet you point your fingers on others
Nooo you can't school me about human rights
If you know what is right
Then tell me why you take others' life
I saw you killing a man with you bare hand
On the broad day light
Hands up!
Don't shoot!
Hands up!
Don't shoot!
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
When did my life become so cheap?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
Can somebody hear me crying out?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
You taking another man's life with ease
I say!
I can't breathe
I can't take a breathe and it hurts so deep!
I can't breathe
When did my life become so cheap?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
Can somebody hear me crying out?
Ooh no!
I can't breathe
You taking another man's life with ease
I say!
I can't breathe
I can't take a breathe and it hurts so deep!
