Lyrics I Matter - Jason Nelson

I can't breathe
Let me live
There's more to my life than this
When will my life be considered equal
I can't run
I can't sleep
Why can't I walk down the street
Everyday it feels like there's another sequel

My life matters
Why do you see a threat
My life matters
You judge me and we never met
So much inequality, racism, police brutality
I matter
My life matters

I'm invisible unless there's someone to cast the blame on
Not seen for my value
But simply one you can blame for
All of the ills of society
To shoulder the weight of the community
Guilty til proven innocent
The price of proof may be my death
Where's the justice
We demand justice

My life matters
Why do you see a threat
My life matters
You judge me and we never met
So much inequality, racism, police brutality
I matter
My life matters
You matter
Your life matters
We matter
Our lives matter
I matter
My life matters
