Give me life
No give me death
Rid me of the pain I feel in my chest
My neck hurts
Hear my plea
Begging please have mercy on me
Lord give me strength
And lungs of steel
Another death another turning of the wheel
And I can't breathe no I can't breathe
I can't breathe oh lord I can't breathe
Am I blessed
Or am I cursed
Cause every time they look at me they think the worst
Was I born
To die so young
Another voice another silence of the tongues
They're going to kill me
Let me stand please
When will I truly understand the word free
Coz I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
I can't breathe oh lord I can't breathe
Coz I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
I can't breathe oh lord I can't breathe
Was I born
To die so young
Another voice another silence of the tongue
