Bigdumbhick - Help Me Mama, I Can't Breath

The cities, they are a burning
People marching through the streets
You hear em shouting - Black Lives Matter
Help me Mama - I can't breathe
The final straw was in Minnesota
Over a 20 dollar bill
He had no knife, he had no gun
There was no reason for them to kill
Help me, I can't breathe
Sixteen times, is what he cried
He asked for water, he called for Mama
He begged them Please don't let me die
One on his back, one on his legs
One took a knee down on his head
They didn't care, he didn't matter
Another Black man would soon be dead
Eight minutes, Forty-Six seconds
The time it took for him to die
Another person executed
Being Black his only crime
It's in the papers, it's on TV
It seems to happen every day
Thoughts and Prayers that shit ain't working
We've got to find another way
New York City, Philadelphia
Minneapolis, Louisville
400 years that's long enough
It's time to settle up the bill
Now the cities they are a burning
People marching through the streets
You hear them shouting- Black Lives Matter
Help Me Mama, I can't Breathe
You hear them shouting - Black Lives Matter
Help me Mama, I can't breathe
You hear them shouting - Black Lives Matter
Help me Mama, I can't breathe
