Tamera LaShawn - We Can't Breathe

How many times
Does a mother have to cry
The hatred for our black skin
Is why her son had to die
They're taking our fathers
They're taking our sons
And we're being robbed
From the ones that we love
No more smiling and no more laughter
We're crying out for help can somebody save us
We can't catch a break
The moment that we look you're on our necks and
We can't breathe no more
Not if we tried
We don't get the chance to survive
We can't breathe no more
Not if we tried
I just pray that I make it home
Home to my child
Every day I'm worried about what's ahead of me
There's a war on my people
Why can't you let us be
You hang us
And you beat us
You drain all our energy
In the end you all need us
When you steal our culture and everything

We can't breathe no more
Not if we tried
We don't get the chance to survive
We can't breathe no more
Not if we tried
I just pray that I make it home
Home to my child

This song is for
Trayvon Martin
Michael Brown
George Floyd
Breonna Taylor
Tamir Rice
Sandra Bland
Elijah McClain
And countless others
