George Floyd. Enough said.
Lyrics
If I can't breathe
Just watching TV
Imagine what he went through
Justice is blind
So open its eyes
Time for conversation
The peaceful cries
Gathered in masses
Falling on deaf ears
When we said
Please, just take a knee
We didn't mean it like that
When I Can't Breathe
Are anybody's last words
A price must be paid
When public defenders
Become life enders
We'll take his breath back
If you can't breathe
Who's coming to the rescue?
Is there pressure on your neck?
The Scarlet Letter
Has nothing on the Black Man
His skin's their target
Defiantly
He stares into the camera
His hand in his pocket
Brothers in arms
Their knees upon their victims
Please
I Can't Breathe
When I Can't Breathe
Are anybody's last words
A price must be paid
When public defenders
Become life enders
We'll take his breath back
You march the streets
A peaceful show of protest
Racism ain't okay here
You're met with gas
And pepper spray emulsion
For challenging authority
You get a taste
Of what it's like with dark skin
But you can take your mask off
And from on high
The military ordered
Dictatorial oppression
Say his name
When I Can't Breathe
Are anybody's last words
A price must be paid
When public defenders
Become life enders
We'll take his breath back
Say his name
(George Floyd George Floyd)
Say his name
(George Floyd George Floyd)
Say his name
