I Can'T Breathe

I can’t breathe Cause history made it so I was brutally deracinated from my homeland I can’t breathe Cause the new society I was dumped in made it so A slave could not be greater than his master I can’t breathe Cause the color of my skin was perceived evil I can’t breathe Cause my progenitors failed to convince that the content of character is supreme I can’t breathe Cause you kneel on my neck perpetually To deny me good education To push me into the abyss of poverty When I try to get some food You label me a criminal You deny me fair hearing You try me in the street You find me guilty in the street You convict me in the street And kneel on my neck so that I can’t breathe forever
