I Can't Breathe Video (MV)

I'm tired of living in the skin I'm in
I didn't know danger was synonymous with melanin
I go for jogs but never ask my brother to come
Cause God forbid anybody sees a black man run
I'm getting tired of pleading the case of men who can't speak out with a gun in their face
Or of boys who shop at convenience stores
Whose only crime was having skin different than yours
What will it take to make you see
The only difference between you and me
Is people listen when you speak
So listen carefully

I can't breathe
I can't breathe

It's hard living in a world where it's fine
To call the cops on him for no reason or rhyme
Or because he didn't have a permit to sell his water
All our sons and daughters are dying before they get to chance to reach for their dreams
But when we reach for skittles or our wallet somebody screams
And even when we try to explain what we're doing
People start shooting
What will it take for you to realize
We know not all cops are bad guys
But to the ones to look us in the eyes
And keep holding on as we cry
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe (Move your knee)
I can't breathe (Unhand me)
I can't breathe
Please stop killing me
