In a blink
Seen it coming like high beams
Like running for ice cream
Falling and scraping my knees
Holding back the tears from crying
Mamas broke, she’s not lying
No use in trying
Wanting so bad inside I’m dying
Wasn’t it Jesus who told us to give
Our money to Caesar who robbed us
Took jobs from us
Told us to be calm
Don’t put up a fuss
We have all the reason to
Cuss
They already pointed the
Middle finger at us
And we’re still bending over
For what?
Pennies on the ground
Worthless because they’re brown
Take a look around
What color is down?
On the ground
Choked out from making a sound
“I CAN'T BREATHEâ€
When they killed him
Their killing us
“I CAN'T BREATHEâ€
When they killed her
Their killing us
“I CAN'T BREATHE"
Beaten, choked, and burned
From the smoke
We continue to return
It’s impossible to kill a spirit
That just won’t die
Every time you see it
Wink your eye
