Текст песни I Can't Breathe - Jonathan Knabe

Jesus is black, yes he is
And he knows exactly what suffering is
Cuz under the sways of the lynching tree
He redeemed and set his people free

The burning cross is a wicked lie
It says the black man, he shall die plural
It lusts for endless flowing blood
The veins of Christ somehow are not enough

But we stand as one and sing
To the only living King
Who is able to heal

I can′t breathe under these feet
I can't breathe when I′ve been beat
Mommas are on the street
Raisin' their voices

Dr. King said it before
Without peace there's only war
So may the Lord show his grace
For only one human race

But I salute the African shore
And all those who′ve gone before
That laid their lives for this noble cause
A remedy that won′t be lost

I can't breathe under these feet
I can′t breathe when I've been beat
Mommas are on the street
Raisin′ their voices

I'm in America, land of the free and a home
That I don′t even feel welcome in
You say ima threat but tell me what did I do,
You just basing it off of my skin
I see you as a brotha but in your eyes
I'm just another one going to the pin
Or will I fall victim to the mass killings
That's been going on to our black men
This is just another day, so I sit and pray hoping that I′m not next
It′s been a long time, yea a long time
But we still got these chains on our neck
I gotta son now and he 1 yrs old so I gotta teach him bout respect
So when the sun down and he gets older I can be at ease that he blessed
I'm not no dr. King I′m not no Malcolm X but ima let them bells rings with my voice
We gotta make a change, we gotta take a stand
We can't continue to stay on this course
It′s been a long time, yea a long time
But they still ain't showing no remorse
Too many cops killing just to get a charge
That they know ain′t holding up in the court
We just wanna feel all love cause we been getting judged
Ever since we came into this world
Can't even lean on our women
You breaking in houses and killing off all of our girls
It's been a long time coming, yea a long time coming
But we starting to pick up the chatter
You making it hard but we just want you to understand
That our black lives matter
