Black Lives Matter
I can’t BREATHE, why are you on ME?
I can’t BREATHE, I’m losing oxygen as you can SEE
I can’t BREATHE, you’re taking life from ME
I can’t BREATHE, you’re doing it with one KNEE
I can’t BREATHE, why is this happening to ME
I can’t BREATHE, all you did was STARE; referencing the other THREE
I can’t BREATHE, somebody please set me FREE
I can’t BREATHE, he’s not answering my PLEA
I can’t BREATHE, I’m not trying to FLEE
I can’t BREATHE, all he got was murder in the third DEGREE
