BLACK SKIN

Is there a price to pay for my black skin It feels like a crime for bearing this black skin There’s hate in your DNA for my black skin Cause I can’t breathe But you don’t care I’m tryna speak But my lungs are caving in It’s hard to breathe Still you don’t care I’m tryna speak But my lungs are caving in You take my life but not my soul Steal my breath but not my voice My mama cry, my daddy cry My brother loads up the clip to ride My sister cry while she hugs him tight Said “you ain’t leaving” I can’t breathe But you don’t care I wanna scream out loud But my lungs are caving in It’s hard to breathe But you don’t care I wanna scream But my lungs are caving in Strange fruit don’t hang from trees no more No longer bound to the Forrest Ooh ohh ooo Ooh ooh ooo ooo I wanna breathe Can somebody help It’s hard to speak With a knee on my neck I can’t breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe
