We Can'T Breathe

Silenced, oppressed, tamed voices, Tears of the innocents, amidst crisis Genocides, massacres, fear of ISIS Supposed friends of the masses, turned enemies In the web of ignorance entangled Deprived, cheated, manipulated, strangled Betrayed by the ones we trusted the most Became prey in the hands of whom we seek solace As servants gasping for breath under our evil bosses Hirelings like Shepherds, ravening wolves in sheep's clothings They don't carry guns but their words are like swords Piercing through the heart like fiery darts With their mouths, they have hurt us Tortured, condemned and maltreated us without a cause They led us to mountains too high to climb Perhaps we could fly but alas! they've cut our wings They gave us laws to walk in them There were too many of them It became a very huge problem But yet we must bear the emblem The emblem of suffering and oppression In solitude, kept at bay; in detention They took our will and gave us wheelchairs Still caged in our fears We all have the right to live And we have to live it right Every lives matter, whether black or white Its just diversity of creation, God made them so But I have discovered something; its knowledge Knowledge will break the edge Ignorance is the spirit behind oppression People perish because they lack information You might just be free indeed If you know you can You can breathe and live again But allow me show you the way Its no other thing, no other one but Jesus He saves, delivers and restores He will breathe on you again And when He does, everything comes back to life
