For Youth Voices students - p**y Riot's “I Can't Breathe” lyrics

[Verse 1] He's become his d**h The spark of the riots That's the way he's blessed To stay alive It never leads to an end It's never getting quiet If it's unfair, my friend Make up your mind [Chorus] It's getting dark in New York City It's getting dark in New York City It's getting dark in New York City It's getting dark in New York City I need to catch my breath [Verse 2] I need to catch my breath You know this world of hate You know this stubborn light They're in the prayers you pray late at night We're only halfway down Who dares to take a breath? Some fairness might be found From ashes of his d**h [Chorus] [Eric Garner's last words (read by Richard Hell)] Get away [garbled] for what? Every time you see me, you want to mess with me I'm tired of it. It stops today. Why would you...? Everyone standing here will tell you I didn't do nothing I did not sell nothing Because every time you see me, you want to hara** me You want to stop me [garbled] selling cigarettes I'm minding my business, officer I'm minding my business Please just leave me alone I told you the last time, please just leave me alone Please. Please. Don't touch me. Do not touch me. [garbled] 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 can't breathe
