Текст песни I Can't Breathe - Tokyo Temple

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
If I couldn't breathe would you let me
If I couldn't breathe would you let me
Mama
I can't breathe
Stuck in a land I can't leave
My feelings is all on my sleeve
I'm feeling so hurt and deceived
I'm feeling so lost and so hopeless
This pain I just find ways to cope with
It's illegal for me to be outspoken
They knee on my throat got me choking
Cus all of these people is lying
My momma at home and she crying
Cus all of my brothers is dying
And no one really even trying
To find or figure a way out now
Cus what really talking bout now
Whole world heading south now
Route 66 South Bound

Whole world got us nervous
My people really hurting
Yea they don't deserve this
But now our cities burning
Slavery was null and void
Then they went and killed Floyd
Yea they really killed Floyd
But like where'd we ever wrong ya
Racism's lasting longer
It goes then comes back stronger
White people really on one
Just cus the color of my skin
Will this pain and torture every end
Living this way just ain't right
When did our life turn into a constant fight
We struggling just to survive
This no type of life
This no type of life

Cus I can't breathe
Stuck in a land I can't leave
My feelings is all on my sleeve
I'm feeling so hurt and deceived
I'm feeling so lost and so hopeless
This pain I just find ways to cope with
It's illegal for me to be outspoken
They knee on my throat got me choking
Cus all of these people is lying
My momma at home and she crying
Cus all of my brothers is dying
And no one really even trying
To find or figure a way out now
Cus what really talking bout now
Whole world heading south now
Route 66 South Bound

How can you hate someone that you ain't never seen
And why do you always want to crush every single one of my dreams
Do you like me face down bleeding on the concrete
And why does it pain you so much to just see me succeed
Do you like my position beneath you and you above me
And why could you never find in your heart just to love me
Always assume I'm out here gang banging straight thugging
Hands up don't shoot even though I'm wearing a hoodie
Hoodie on like I'm Trevon
Out here grinding on the daily just tryna be a good son
I don't know what my people ever did wrong
Ever did wrong

Cus I
I just want to breathe
Wipe these feelings off my sleeve
Someone put my mind at ease
I'm just tryna spread the peace
This violence has to cease
We standing up proud cus there ain't no backdown
We saying it loud we proud that we black now
If you ain't about it get back to the back now
Lights off its a blackout
Cus I
I just want to breathe
Wipe these feelings off my sleeve
Someone put my mind at ease
Yea I'm tryna spread the peace
Yea this violence has to cease
Cus I, I just want to breathe

Dear God, all I ever wanted to do was breathe
Never to be judged by the color of my skin
But the contents of my heart within
Even though we have these times of anger, hatred, and persecution
Lord show us that you still are God
And give us the strength to keep faith in you
Despite our current circumstances
That we may know that a change will come
It will yea good talk
