I Can’t Breathe Lyrics by Shamir

Resolution

2018

Gary seiling loosies by the liquor store
Didn't really mean no harm
But he was black and stood 6 foot 7
So they only sound the alarm
He tried to comply with everything they said, because he knew he was breaking the law
But when he heard the sirens he started to run
And the bullets was all he saw
And it started to go down
There was nothing but the sound of the officers
Letting out some screams
Then he opened his eyes gasping for air and the last thing he said on the scene
Is: "I can't breathe."
Somebody help me please
I see the light
I think I am gonna die
Bobby went for a walk in the park
To play with his brand new toy
It was a plastic gun that popped like a sparkler
Fit for a young little boy
But a neighbor got scared and called for help
With nothing but fear pulsing through
But failed to mention that he was all alone
So there's not much he can do
But the cop went off and sent 20 shots
And didn't even flinch or blink
But jury let him off, and bobby's mother scoffed
And the whole world watched her scream
I can't breathe
Somebody help me please
I see the light
I think I'm gonna die
