I sit back and reflect, And put my feelings in check
I am a sea with no waves, See the horizon for days
Met with a steady gaze From the sun in the sky
As it sets me ablaze, overexposed to it's rays
Outraged by injustice but too black to emote
Because the slightest sign of anger and its murder he wrote
A danger to society by societies lies, cuz in societies eyes
Its stay calm or you’ll die
But the fury of the world penetrates to the soul
Without the choppy over-current to respond to the toll
That each casualty from the powers that be
Keeps reminding me, it's not safe to be free
What is so-called freedom when you’re free to oppress
With your knee on my neck, or 20 shots to my chest
What is speaking up, when you stifle my voice
You give me no room to breathe, barely a whimper or noise
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
It’s not safe to be black, tell me who has my back
Pedigree and degrees do not stave off attack
Just compete in the system, learn to play by their rules
Is the lesson we learn, beyond the walls of our schools
Every stare that would linger every time I’d lift a finger, is
A splinter that hindered the growth of my inner figure
Every cautious avoidance when I step into space
Made me question my reality and also my place
If you fear my every move or when I’m in my groove
Do I keep doing me, or do I have something to prove
To put your worries at ease, my people aren’t a disease
To assault your cell of comfort or your bubble of ease
And for far too long, as the times have shown
No matter which way we demand, our approach is still wrong
Whether we build our own, or we play along
Your place in the world comes at the cost of our own
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
We all approach our final hour judgment at hand but black
Souls are judged at the convenience of man
No divine impartiality or blind objectivity
The fate of our soul decided with open hostility
Condemned here on earth, not deemed worthy of existence
But too hateful, selfish, or ignorant to bless our transcendence
We rise just to fall, and they don’t see us at all
Like a shooting star that never gets a wish when it falls
I’m irate at the hate, and incensed at the nonsense
And the feelings start to brew like several undertow currents
But who gets swept up, in these feelings of turmoil
If I only allow my internal soul to boil
What’s hidden below, starts to surface above, to
Meet the African diaspora with feelings of love
In defiance of those that shoved our suffering aside
It’s time to let ride, this anger boiling inside
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can’t breathe
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
Somebody help me. I’m falling, I can't breathe.
I’m falling, I can’t breathe
