ICAN’T BREATE
We’ll never forget the name George Floyd
An innocent man who’s life was destroyed.
Like other black victims of police brutality
This is just one of many fatalities
Just because of the color of his skin
That cop ignored what went on from within
We shouldn’t let others suffer the same
This fight must go on, and on with his name
Protests have spread across the U.S
People of all cultures are in distress
They fought with their lives; now families are crying
Innocent people are literally dying!
Please don’t let this whole thing fly through
We are all continuing to rise through
The injustice they have all been granted
Corruptness is now implanted
I believe we all matter, but right now BLACKS have a much bigger matter
My peoples' lives are in danger because of their looks
And we can’t go back from the lives that they have took
They may not understand BUT I know if we can continue to stand there is a chance; this fight will be over soon.
