J Antoni - I Just Want To Live

Don't pretend that you don't see it
'Cause you do
You just refuse to acknowledge the truth
Easy to blame it on noncompliance
Long as they don't look like you
I wonder if you'd understand the fear we face each day
If it were you with that gun pointed at your face
If for no good reason you were the target of hate
It's just your skin
They don't like the shade
What would you say
If that was your sister or brother
What would you say
If that was your son or your daughter
What would you do
If you felt powerless and afraid
And everyday
All you do is pray
Pray you make it home in one piece
And may the Lord keep my family if it's the last day I see
I don't know what's out there waiting for me
Those odds against me are in your favor
Shoot now ask questions later
When it comes to me
This is reality
Don't move
Breathe
Hands up
Don't shoot please
Take your knee off my neck
I can't breathe
I will not resist
I just want to live
