I Can't Breathe
Too many pills to swallow
Not enough hope for tomorrow
Make me want to kneel and pray
But what the hell would I say?
I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!
I say it nicely so you listen
A broken system's ass you've been kissin
Afraid of what the truth reveals
When empathy is not what you feel
Don't you see?! We can't breathe! We can't breathe!
My heart so full of sorrow
I need a dollar to borrow
The kind of pain that just don't heal
It's how they shoot and what they conceal
Don't you see? We can't breathe! We can't breathe!
Black bodies dead in the gutter
Some of your eyes don't even shutter
Have you no remorse at all?!
You never come when we call!
Don't you see? Don't you see? We can't breathe!
Bittered by the world
And everything in it
Sometimes I wanna back down
But I've got so far to go
Well, my feet rooted to the ground and
No one's gonna turn me around
Cause I've been
So low!
All I can do is get up!
So alone!
But now I know who are my friends!
So tired!
But now I GOT THIS feeling inside
So I'm not gonna try to hide
What's on my mind!
Bittered at the thought
That some things will never change
Worried about the children
That I hope to raise
Well my feet rooted to the ground
And no one's gonna turn me around
Cause I've been
So low!
All I can do is get up!
So alone!
But now I know who are my friends!
So tired!
But now I GOT THIS feeling inside
So I'm not gonna try to hide
What's on my mind.
Not enough hope for tomorrow
Make me want to kneel and pray
But what the hell would I say?
I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!
I say it nicely so you listen
A broken system's ass you've been kissin
Afraid of what the truth reveals
When empathy is not what you feel
Don't you see?! We can't breathe! We can't breathe!
My heart so full of sorrow
I need a dollar to borrow
The kind of pain that just don't heal
It's how they shoot and what they conceal
Don't you see? We can't breathe! We can't breathe!
Black bodies dead in the gutter
Some of your eyes don't even shutter
Have you no remorse at all?!
You never come when we call!
Don't you see? Don't you see? We can't breathe!
Bittered by the world
And everything in it
Sometimes I wanna back down
But I've got so far to go
Well, my feet rooted to the ground and
No one's gonna turn me around
Cause I've been
So low!
All I can do is get up!
So alone!
But now I know who are my friends!
So tired!
But now I GOT THIS feeling inside
So I'm not gonna try to hide
What's on my mind!
Bittered at the thought
That some things will never change
Worried about the children
That I hope to raise
Well my feet rooted to the ground
And no one's gonna turn me around
Cause I've been
So low!
All I can do is get up!
So alone!
But now I know who are my friends!
So tired!
But now I GOT THIS feeling inside
So I'm not gonna try to hide
What's on my mind.
