I CANT BREATHE

Look at the situation we're in, freedom is a foreign thing
Love is without observation, forgiveness without administration
Unity is an utopian ideal, breathing an impossible reveal
Reality is a strange imposition, who'll be George Floyd herein
Who can't breathe without rights

Check the men in government, they'll speak progress and development
Voice verses of encouragement, practice absolute underdevelopment
Silence voices of thought and reason, inspire fluency of ardent sycophancy
Subtly aspire for apt blasphemy, openly assuming messianic complexity
Truth needs to be in position, Who'll hear Bob Marley herein
Who must stand up for rights

Pick on parliament representations, segregation of others is without reason
With unprecedented sensitization, they emphasize on ethnic extraction
Some communities feel foreign, in own nations they get alienation
We are in a historical disposition, who'll take after Rosa parks herein
Who must remain sitted for rights

Who bewitched us humankind,He should be paid in good and kind
For us to annoint and cleanse, like kids we may learn to forgive
Remind us of our equality, like Gandhi we may seek equity
We love in gigantic proportions, in enthusiastic style embrace reconciliations
