lyrics

America there’s death in your
Eyes
You lifted up the veil
I saw through your disguise
You said turn the other cheek but hunt us down in the street
When a black man bleeds
I’m not surprised
It didn’t make the headlines

America
There’s blood on your hands
And I hesitate to take it to the streets and make my demands
Cause you went and got a taste for death an appetite for taking breath
And the skin I’m in
Doesn’t get a second chance

I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t leave

America I’m morning for you
I don’t think you’re listening
But I’ve got a warning for you
Will you turn around
And make a change and
And say those were the darkest days
And lie to me
And say it’s the truth
That’s exactly what you do

I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I won’t leave

I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I won’t leave
