I’m so tired of seeing this violence I hear the cries and see all the riots I’m so tired of seeing them silenced I’ve had enough, I can’t keep silent I’m so tired of seeing the faces Of the innocent lives that were all taken I’m so tired and my hearts breaking, yeah I’m reading the names I’m learning the history And realizing how much Of it has been hid from me I feel all this pain But I know that there’s more to see I’m not playing no games Because right now they cannot breathe I am a part of the privileged majority I don’t know what it feels like for minority But all of it angers me Sick of discrimination Not familiar with inferiority Trying to get a grasp, most I can’t believe But it sickens me That we are treating these people as less than human just because of skin (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) All these people are broken And all people are hurting So please stop being a burden By criticizing, not learning Give them attention the same Learn more and more about the pain You can show love in His name You got the power for change The power for... We’re so quick to label And in comes the hating We see a whole group And make gen’ralizations I’m calling all races To stop judging strangers And worry bout yourself And how you are changing Many people hitting snooze Believing that it’s all a ruse It’s sad to see that they don’t choose To put on someone else’s shoes It’s time to wake up, listen and support them What they feel is important, don’t put what we see before them People say, “all lives matter,” but they choose to ignore them There’s so many crying out, so I’ve gotta stand for them (aye) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) I am not talking bout politics I am not talking bout flags I am not talking bout statues Compared to a person they’re only a rag Some organizations are here for the bag They don’t really care about people it’s sad Don’t let the media trick you, you’ll lag Think for yourself, but don’t think of just self Think of others as well The news only tells you opinions and is never free of bias I don’t stand with riots but I stand with voices crying out But what’s crazy is I know a guy And his business caught fire because of a rioter But he still loved on him, wow, that requires Some grace and some higher strength coming from heavenly places That’s living on fire, let your heart burn It’s time to wake up, listen and support them What they feel is important, don’t put what we see before them People say, “all lives matter,” but they choose to ignore them There’s so many crying out, so I’ve gotta stand for them (aye) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) Listen, we’re all one broken race Different backgrounds different shades But we’re freed by the price He paid And we’ll all be unified one day We’re battling down to the heart And most don’t know what to say But a really good way to start Is to listen instead of display But people hate the hate to fix the curse And that’s only gonna make it worse We’ve gotta push for some change in how we converse But the silence is deafening from the church Sad to see that Christians are the ones judging Instead of reflecting the One who is loving Why do we gotta hold all of these grudges? We should worry bout our hearts first The enemy wants us divided But I won’t ever stop fighting And I know the bottom line is We should all treat each other like we’re made in His image Even in our difference See the beauty in it We’ve gotta keep trying I don’t care where you’re sided That’s the only way to be united I look at this world, and it’s so littered with brokenness And I’m calling out to all of you, even my enemies, as a friend To fight all this hate with love, cuz the root of this evil’s sin And I’m so looking forward to the day that we can all together breathe free again
