Lyrics
I may not be black,
But I know a boot in the back
When I see one.
I may be white,
But I know it ain't right
For anyone.
Today it's the brothers
Who the police smother.
Who is next?
Tomorrow's open season.
Gays, women, men of reason:
We are next!
I...I can't breathe.
I...I can't breathe.
I see raw power
Getting stronger every hour
For no good reason.
I see piles of cash
In the politician's stash.
I call that treason.
I...I can't breathe.
I...I can't breathe.
I may not be black,
But I've been knifed in the back.
I still feel it.
I may be white,
But murder, that ain't right.
Don't take that shit!
I...I can't breathe.
I...I can't breathe.
