Let Me Breathe

I am a man, I have a heart
There is so much inside of me that I must impart
There is someone’s that loves me dear
I can’t imagine life without them being near
So you can’t take my life in your hands
Treat me as though I’m not a common man
You may never ever show respect to me
But there is one thing I’m owed respectfully
Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That’s a God given right given to me
Just let me breathe, just let me breathe
For my life matters to family, friends and me
I don’t admit I walk in fear
Never knowing when my end is drawing near
I tell my seed they must comply
But it seems that that’s a game called do and die
So you can’t take my life in your hands
And treat me as though I’m not a common man
You may never ever show respect to me
But there is one thing I’m owed respectfully
Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That’s a God given right given to me
So if I die at the hands of somebody carelessly
For my life matters to my family, friends and me
Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe
Regardless to what you’re seeing
I am a human being
And I have the right to live
Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe
Regardless to what you think of me
I am a human being
And I have the right to live
Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That’s a God given right given to me
So if I die at the hands of one carelessly
My life mattered to family, friends and me
