I Can't Breathe!

How many times must our brothers cry

I Can't Breathe!

How many times do our sons have to cry

I Can't Breathe!

Momma, they're hurting me!

How many times must our fathers cry

I Can't Breathe!

Lord! They've killed my child!

How many times must our husbands cry

I Can't Breathe!

I just want to provide

I Can't Breathe! I Can't Breathe! I Can't Breathe!

Too many wronged, too many gone

I Can't Breathe!

When the world collectively inhales

to cry This is Enough!

Will we begin to Respect All Lives

Knowing Black Lives are

No Less Than Any Other!!
