Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIJKDKDLL

his knee down on my neckA
is it because I m blackB
I felt the weight of oppressionC
suffocating meD
I cried and criedE
the same way my ancestors didF
I can t breathe I can t breathe I can t breatheG
over and overH
why can t these people listenC
good griefI
I am going homeJ
gasping once moreK
thinking of my familyD
and so much moreK
does the world care for meD
I don t think soL
nowhere to goL
