Lifeless
!
Police don't react
As I lay on the ground
With your knee on my neck
Handcuffed and detained
No threats remain
I beg for my life
Pleading
Please please Please
I can't breathe
Blank look across your face
Showing you care less about my race
Let him up!, His nose is bleeding!!
Please please please
I can't breathe
You killed me
Because I'm black
Lives mean nothing
When police attack
Careless motives please retract
Keep your knees off our necks
Please please let's believe Black Lives Need To Breathe!
