I Can’t Breathe Lyrics by Burga

2020

[Chorus]
You put your knee on my neck and I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
My eyes full of sweat and I can't see (I can't see)
My pride to the side, heart on my sleeve (Heart on my sleeve)
I begged for my life, died in the street, yeah
What about them promises I made, but I can't keep 'em now
What about my family crying tears? We ain't on equal sides
Count up them riots, burning fires still don't equal life
They done took my life, no peace and quiet, you can't sleep at night
[Verse]
Three police on my back and one just looking (One just looking)
I got handcuffs on my back, say I'm resisting (I can't move)
Got a knee pressed on my neck, I feel constricted
I was begging for my life, no one was listening (Please)
As I lay on the concrete, face on the pavement (What happened?)
I was right there at arm's reach, no one to save me (Damn)
They ain't have to jump on me (Nah), they could've tased me (For real)
Never thought this landmark was my last location (Damn)
Fear in my eyes, don't wanna die alone (Don't wanna die alone)
Tears in my eyes, you hear me crying on (Hear me crying on)
I left the house and I took the back road
I never made it back home (What happened?)
They had the cameras rolling (Yeah)
I was begging for my life, but they ain't hear me
They had the cameras rolling
I was begging for my life, but they ain't hear me (How they couldn't hear me screaming?)
[Chorus]
You put your knee on my neck and I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
My eyes full of sweat and I can't see (I can't see)
My pride to the side, heart on my sleeve (Heart on my sleeve)
I begged for my life, died in the street, yeah
What about them promises I made, but I can't keep 'em now
What about my family crying tears? We ain't on equal sides
Count up them riots, burning fires still don't equal life
They done took my life, no peace and quiet, you can't sleep at night
