Deandra Henry - Just a Man (George Floyd) Lyrics

I can't breathe
I can't imagine how that feels
Facedown pressed down on the concrete
Is this even real?
Is this really happening?
Am I about to die?
Is this my demise?
That my skin is a crime?
This is how die?

So much pressure
So much force
I can't feel my neck
I don't have no voice

I'm just a man
Just like any other man
With hopes and dreams and plans
Is that something you can understand?

I hope my family is ok
I hope my people
Don't lose sleep
Over my dead body
I really tried to hold on
But all I see
Is that it seems
Safer to be gone

Cause it's too much pressure
And I'm not perfect
It's just not worth it

I'm just a man
Just like any other man
With hopes and dreams and plans
Is that something
Is that something
Is that something
You can understand?

I'm sorry that I have to say goodbye to you
You know that I'll always be with you
So when all hope seems lost
Just know that there's God in Heaven too
That'll never leave nor forsake you
