lyrics

My heart shed a tear today/ I shed a tear/
Yeah my heart shed a tear..

Hoop dreams as a teen, wanna be Jordan/ grown man, worst fear my sons the next Jordan, Davis/
only famous for his death/ while the shooter's walking free with no regrets/
now Tell me that right there don't make you want to ride/ with your pistol out, contemplating homicide/
conversations forsaken except to talk to God/ -lord of you don't stop me then its going down/
it seems as if the spread of ignorance is going round/ and all the news can talk about's Ebola/
remember when bird flu and mad cow, had everybody walking round with masks out/ getting vaccinated/
the whole nation watching- fascinated/ scared for the life of their child/ seems that's been the black man's plight for a while/ even the president probably has thoughts of lunatics sniping him down/
then they balk on the indictment/ the thought alone frightening/ I'm caught alone at night when the blue lights are lighting my rear view/ where can i steer to/ when the only one to call is the law/
and they enforcing they own rules/ protect and serve/ more like reject and swerve/ pull out the tech and purge/
aim at the head and neck then leave em dead on the curb/ and that ain't over-hyping man its real life/
some times i feel like, some times i feel like/ I'm a stranger in my own land/ a visitor when sitting in my home stands/
these cowards trying to silence all my seeds/ yeah, they trying to take my heir/ yeah trying to kill a king/
Yeah they trying to take my air
Sometimes I'm feeling like I can't breathe/ I can't breathe/ Yeah, I can't breathe/ If death's waiting at the corner, hear the last word of Eric Garner man I can't breathe
