I Can't Breathe

[Verse 1] I'm nineteen, I don’t wanna die young Twenty-three, last words were to my mom On a jog, in a car, backyard of my own home Twenty-two, it's not real, it can't be Forty-three, I didn’t even do nothing Send my love to family Turns out freedom isn't free for everyone [Chorus] How do I speak when I can't breathe? I can't, how do I stand when I can't breathe? I can't, all my life I had to lose Just a name in the news, but what about me? I can't breathe, I can't breathe [Verse 2] When I die, no, it’s never black and white We want change but our throats are running dry Seems so very ordinary Writе me off, another story [Chorus] How do I speak whеn I can’t breathe? I can't, how do I stand when I can’t breathe? I can't, all my life I had to lose Just a name in the news, but what about me? I can't breathe, I can't breathe [Bridge] My skin is black, my blood is red My street’s Death Row My skin is black, my blood is red My street's Death Row [Chorus] Why don't you speak when I can't breathe? I can't, how do you sleep when I can't breathe? I can't, all my life I had to lose Just a name in the news, but what about me? How do I speak when I can't breathe? I can't, how do I stand when I can't breathe? I can't, all my life I had to lose Just a name in the news, but what about me? I can't breathe, I can't breathe
