I CANNOT BREATHE Lyrics by Judaea

2020

VERSE
Looking out at my people
In despair, grief in the air
Shoot us down like they don’t care

Oo

Feels like we waited forever
Every year, need justice here
We just want to live but in fear
Heyy

Another life lost now
They don’t care what it cost huh
Families broken and lost now
Ooo
But I say

HOOK
Leave us to be Great
Don’t knock us down with your hate
My life is not yours to take
Yours to take

Will you set me free
Cause I cannot breathe
You’re not the holder of my destiny
Destiny

VERSE
Divided States of America
What do I pledge my allegiance to
When cops can/just freely kill us off
Oo

Unarmed just the skin I’m in
Why are you so afraid of my melanin
Well I say enough is enough
Stop killing my sisters and brothers
Peace, leave us in peace and not pieces
My skin is not a threat
Oo and I say

HOOK
Leave us to be Great
Don’t knock us down with your hate
My life is not yours to take
Yours to take

Will you set me free
Cause I cannot breathe
You’re not the holder of my destiny
Destiny
