I can't breathe...

I can't breathe

For the weight upon me

The weight of misunderstanding

The weight of distrust 

The weight of disparate expectations

The positive, the negative

The self given, the world driven

I can't breathe

Shackled by sin 

Shackled by men

Shackled to yesterday 

Shackled to perception

Shackled to distorted images

Shackled to cold reality

I can't breathe

Frustrated by slow progress

Saddened by societal regress

Boggled by so much to digest

Ashamed of the lack of respect

Trying to walk circumspect

Always under the microscope

I can't breathe

Father God I look to you

My creator, my sustainer

Breathe on me, breathe through me

Breathe in me, breathe for me

Whenever I'm gasping for life and 

I can't breathe
