George Floyd
This song is about finally going too far with police brutality and blatant racism all over the world. It is not only black lives that matter but anyone who is subject to any form of abuse. It is a hate crime. I am white but we must be part of this change as leaders like Donald Trump do not care or lead by example.

It has to stop
the senseless killing
Abuse of police power
the charges laid
were only made
because there was a video
Black man out running now he's dead
Yes, black lives really matter
Chorus
I cannot breathe
We cannot breathe
Please let me live
some more
It is right
to protest
Not the violence
Not the looting
or the shooting
Justice must prevail
POTUS doesn't care
Well, black lives really matter
Chorus
I cannot breathe
We cannot breathe
Please let me live
some more
The cops now know
they hit a nerve
The people say enough
they go to jail
they get no bail
The trial is so simple
You took a life
Now, black lives really matter
Chorus
I cannot breathe
We cannot breathe
Please let me live
some more
