Marley - I Can't Breathe Lyrics

They say we're crazy, the way we feel right now
Prejudiced daily, what goes around comes back around
He got his hands up, don't shoot
It was a cold, black night he had to die alone
His mama crying out in the funeral home
Quick run to the store he never made it home
Instead he turned to stone, and looked into a face
With eyes full of hate, and a face full of rage
Is this the human race
We are God's chosen people, they really hate us out of fear
I know you hurting baby don't worry, we will make it out of here
Now it's riots breaking out in the city, they just bringing soldiers in
They can try hard as they want but in the end love will win
In the end love will win, you know what you doing is a sin
You can say anything you want, you don't have to kill these men
You don't have to kill our women, six feet under while you chilling
Get to watch your kids grow up, one day ours reading bout our killing
For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world to lose his own soul
Because of my skin I have to die cold, because of his skin he gets to die old
It's KKK rallies happening now but that's the shit y'all never wanna talk about
Demanding peace when we walk it out, instead of joining us you'd rather scream and shout
Y'all pick up the guns and aim straight at our mouth
Straight at our mouth to try keeping it closed
We proud to be black, racism is old, return it to sender, you can have what you chose
At one point in time we were bought and sold, traded like cattle, and beat by men
Poor Bre Taylor she was in her crib, she ain't cause no trouble
It's white privilege
They say we crazy and we have no right, but we'll keep on marching and we gonna fight
Got my brother with me, I'm black and he's white
And he gone draw down on em right by my side
Until we get change it's up on sight cause it don't matter if you black or white
MJ said it but ya'll didn't listen, the color of our skin it don't make us a villian
Nah
Nah it don't make us a villian
I want a change and run up all these millions
I want a much better world for my children
Don't wanna raise them in this shit we live in
Trayvon we love you
Breonna we love you
Philando we love you
Eric we love you
Michael we love you
Tamir we love you
Sandra we love you
Ahmaud we love you
George we love you
We can't breathe, we can't breathe
Don't you see
