Текст песни He Couldn't Breathe - Species

He couldn′t breathe
You tellin' me that you couldn′t hear him?
I'm so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn't and I wish I did so I could help ′em get through it
He couldn′t breathe
You tellin' me that you couldn′t hear him?
I'm so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn′t and I wish I did so I could help 'em get through it

He was just tryna get a pack of cigs
What is it illegal for a black man to leave his crib?
′Cuz it seems like it is
We teachin' that to little kids?
Thats messed up but it seems like that's how it is
I′m not black but I feel you
I′m not black but I see you
I'm not black but I′m in your shoes and the lens that you see through
I'm not black but I feel you
I′m not black but I see you
I'm not black but I′m in your shoes and the lens that you see through

He couldn't breathe
You tellin' me that you couldn′t hear him?
I′m so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn't and I wish I did so I could help ′em get through it
He couldn't breathe
You tellin′ me that you couldn't hear him?
I′m so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn't and I wish I did so I could help 'em get through it

I can′t imagine what it′s like leaving your house in fear everyday
Getting pulled over and having to look up and pray
I'm grateful everyday that I′m a young white male
It shouldn't be like that as a whole we need to prevail
We need to get passed the color of our skin
We need to start teaching equality to every single little kid
You need to respect everyone white or black
′Cuz what we doin' right now man its pretty wack

He couldn′t breathe
You tellin' me that you couldn't hear him?
I′m so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn′t and I wish I did so I could help 'em get through it
He couldn′t breathe
You tellin' me that you couldn′t hear him?
I'm so sorry to his family I swear that they be tearing up
Man I would be too if I woulda knew him
But I didn′t and I wish I did so I could help 'em get through it
