I Can't Breathe.

I can't breathe cos I'm black
I can't breathe cos I'm not wanted
I ain't here on my volition
I was uprooted hundreds of years ago
Thousands of miles away
Uprooted from mother Africa

I can't breathe

Brothers are murdered daily
Abused just for being NEGRO
I can't breathe
Where lies my hope in this land
Where the sweat of forefathers help built
Where lies my hope where forefathers were dehumanized

I'm George Floyd
I can't breathe
I've returned home to tell Papa and Mama....
That land they toiled and tilled hasn't change
I ain't sure it will
I can't breathe!!!
