Fight For Me
Fight for me my friends
I died because I couldn't fight for myself
the weight of his body was on my neck
I couldn't breathe
fight for me my friends
because I died because of hate
The colour of my black skin offended him so he took my life
Fight for me my friends
because he will kill again
this time it will be your son your daughter
they will not breathe again
let my lifeless body be the symbol for you my friends to rise
Fight for my justice but fight for my son he must have a chance to live a chance to breathe
This is a fight for freedom
Fight for me my friends so this can end the war again colour and class
Fight for me my friends because all lives matters
Rise against hate ...rise for justice....set my spirit free...rise for freedom
Fight for me my friends
I am George Floyd...rise and fight for yourself
