We Can't Breathe
April 28, 2015
I can’t breathe This ball and chain is holding me down Under an ocean of pain that my color gives And slowly I drown He can’t breathe He tried to make a difference, but instead of innovation he received death And absolutely nothing was left. She can’t breathe Her future was so bright But it all was taken away In one single night We can’t breathe We are all the same with diverse skin tones We will fight together and never be alone We are the people We need to breathe
