Black Empowerment
Part of Lyrics from H.E.R's I Can't Breathe, showing the empathy and support of mass during the movement of Black Lives:
[Verse 1] Starting a war, screaming "Peace" at the same time
All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes
Always a problem if we do or don't fight
And we die, we don't have the same right
What is a gun to a man that surrenders?
What's it gonna take for someone to defend her?
If we all agree that we're equal as people
Then why can't we see what is evil?
[Chorus] I can't breathe
You're taking my life from me
I can't breathe
Will anyone fight for me? [2]
