The endless scroll of human tragedy
I swipe along as the days go by
Another brother murdered out in the streets
I connect to the shame, we don't know what it's like
Born lucky cause the color of the skin
America your heart is caving in
Somehow I thought this was the land of the free
Where is our humanity?
Our humanity
Beating after beating
Throat choked under knee
Help me please
Because I can't breathe
Just stop the bleeding
Body after body
Piled up in the streets
Stand and fight
Not another life
Just stop the bleeding
And some will claim it's a conspiracy
The fake news out to undermine
When riots fight off white supremacy
Never given a choice, so they're drawing a line
I stare and look out at the world in disgust
These men are dying over nothing just
Good men stand up and show your bravery
For a lost democracy
Our democracy
Beating after beating
Throat choked under knee
Help me please
Because I can't breathe
Just stop the bleeding
Body after body
Piled up in the streets
Stand and fight
Not another life
Just stop the bleeding
Our strife
Our struggle
Fight through these open wounds
Beating after beating
Throat choked under knee
Help me please
Because I can't breathe
Just stop the bleeding
Body after body
Piled up in the streets
Stand and fight
Not another life
Just stop the bleeding
Our strife
Our struggle
Fight through these open wounds
