I Can't Breathe ft. Mike Hicks Lyrics

I can't breathe

The weight of the world been so heavy

I feel like it's crushing me

So many things that are happening

Can't let it bury me

I am determined to rise above all negativity

Let me breathe

No justice, no peace

Injustice must cease

Every crooked way of the world must be made straight

No crease

Every day is a battle and our victories seem brief

Our hearts are heavy and filled with grief

Grief of another life lost

Tossed and treated like no one should be

Especially by someone who is supposed to be here to protect me

I'm tired, I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm torn

I want to believe for better days

But I know the history and my heart is scorned

I appreciate our allies but still so many ignore

It's hard to believe how people still choose to perceive

What they could clearly see

If they would just open their eyes and open their hearts

But their hearts are wicked and they spew empty rhetoric like darts

I can't breathe

The weight of the world been so heavy

I feel like it's crushing me

So many things that are happening

Can't let it bury me

I am determined to rise above all negativity

Let me breathe

But all is not lost, we will continue to fight the good fight

We will march, protest and demand our rights

We won't quit, there is no stopping

Our voices will be heard, silence is not an option

A lot of people were real quiet, it's okay, we peeped

Others showed their true colors on social media, it's okay, delete

Our lives matter

Injustice must cease

Black lives matter

How that phrase offends anyone is baffling to me

Black lives matter and of course so do all

But it seems like black lives mattering

Is something we constantly have to remind you all

With a cause, with a march, with a phrase

So we will continue to say

Black lives matter

I can't breathe

The weight of the world been so heavy

I feel like it's crushing me

So many things that are happening

Can't let it bury me

I am determined to rise above all negativity

Let me breathe

I can't breathe

The weight of the world been so heavy

I feel like it's crushing me

So many things that are happening

Can't let it bury me

I am determined to rise above all negativity

Let me breathe

I can't breathe

The weight of the world been so heavy

I feel like it's crushing me

So many things that are happening

Can't let it bury me

I am determined to rise above all negativity

Let me breathe

Let me breathe
