I Just Want To Live

Don't pretend that you don't see it 'Cause you do You just refuse to acknowledge the truth Easy to blame it on noncompliance Long as they don't look like you I wonder if you'd understand the fear we face each day If it were you with that gun pointed at your face If for no good reason you were the target of hate It's just your skin They don't like the shade What would you say If that was your sister or brother What would you say If that was your son or your daughter What would you do If you felt powerless and afraid And everyday All you do is pray Pray you make it home in one piece And may the Lord keep my family if it's the last day I see I don't know what's out there waiting for me Those odds against me are in your favor Shoot now ask questions later When it comes to me This is reality Don't move Breathe Hands up Don't shoot please Take your knee off my neck I can't breathe I will not resist I just want to live
