Rich M - Let Me Breathe!

Driving down the highway, with a lead foot
Going a bit too fast
Was that a state trooper that I just passed?
Sirens on, lights flashing, pulling over to the side
I deserve a ticket, but not the risk of losing my life
Let me breathe
I know you got a job to do
Let me breathe
I wanna make it home safe tonight
Let me breathe
Be mindful of my rights
My melanated skin shouldn't make you nervous
Not if you're committed to public service
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Driving home late at night, at a stop light
Couple of blocks from home
Why's that bright light shining in my car?
Out of your vehicle
Hands on the hood
Whatcha' doin' in this neighborhood?
We live here; moved in yesterday
Let me breathe
I know you got a job to do
Let me breathe
I wanna make it home safe tonight
Let me breathe
Be mindful of my rights
My melanated skin shouldn't make you nervous
Not if you're committed to public service
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Riding down the highway around night fall
Tire just blew; ugh, gotta change a flat
Pulling over to the shoulder
It's getting' dark out here
State trooper pulls up
Says what's going on
You Need some help?
Lemme give you a hand
I'll turn on my light
Don't worry
I'm here to help
Just breathe
You're a citizen who needs assistance
Just breathe
Let's get you home safe tonight
Just breathe
I'll make sure that you're alright
Your menlanated skin's doesn't make me nervous
I've committed my life to public service
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
Let him breathe
You already got him on the ground
Let him breathe
The cuffs are on his hands are bound
Let him breathe
Can't you hear his gasping sounds
If his melanated skin makes you insanely nervous
You are utterly unfit for public service
Let him breathe
Let him breathe
Let him breathe
