Help Me, I Can'T Breathe
Knee on my neck
Help me, I can't breathe
Not a move was made
No help received
Another life lost
Reason matters not
No remorse for the action
Regret only, we got caught
White is a color
Black is a crime
To long the injustice
Open your mind
Together we must come
United we must stand
Color has it's privilege
Equality it must demand
Turn the other way
No place in this fight
Live freely without fear
Everyone's right
Help me I can't breathe
Sit with his words
Turn privilege into action
Be the change reaffirmed
