I Cant Breath
I cant breath
Nothing surprises me
Any more in a dying world
Even when my last breath
Means nothing to another man
My spirit never panic cos
It not strange
When life means nothing
To humans
In our dying world
I cant breath
The call for help
Is like just more or less
An echo in the air
Cos the hands to help
Are withhold from reaching
The world
Evil lives more than goods
Nowadays
So in all honesty
Nothing surprises me
Not any more in a dying world
Not even when my last breath
Is taken away by force
I cant breath
Cos the knees
Of the devil is on
A force to my air
The brutality I don't deserve
Makes me more breathless
In a dying world
Is sad to see how my people
Die like nothing
I ask only when it could stop
I ask Africa to demand
It respect back from the world
If not we still will
Be dying same like
Every other times like Floyd
Dying in brutal act of hatred
Destroyed by racism
Chase away from home
By tribalism
Trapped in injustice
Raped by the authorities
And killed by the knees
Of the one meant to protect
Your right
I wonder who cant breath
In this kind of world
