Cant Breathe

from Programming by Jamie "Pops" VanEffen

lyrics

Cant Breathe
cant speak
cant safely walk down the street

Cant run
cant hide
must always suppress the building rage inside

Never supposed
to speak their minds
been told they're less than human for all time

This cant go on anymore
This cant go on anymore
Our brothers and sisters cannot live in constant fear anymore

This
is enough
we cant just continue to shut up

We need
to use our voice
staying silent should have never been a choice

Theres too much
to be said
that our brothers cant say or else they could end up dead

Its sad that humankind just cant evolve
and simply acknowledge there's so many problems to solve
gain some empathy, and no longer ignore
what's happening right outside our doors

Hold
those responsible
accountable

Do not allow them
to continue
to think they are infallible

No longer
give them the freedom
to be deplorable

Make them scurry
hide away in their caves
wouldn't that be adorable

Thoughts and prayers, they've never really worked
Don't hold your tongue, call out any jerk
That allows themselves to be filled with rage
Our brothers and sisters can no longer wait

They cant breathe
they cant speak
they cannot safely walk down the street

They cant run
they cant hide
they should never have had to live with constant fear inside
