Is there a price to pay for my black skin 
It feels like a crime for bearing this black skin 
There’s hate in your DNA for my black skin 

Cause I can’t breathe 
But you don’t care 
I’m tryna speak
But my lungs are caving in
It’s hard to breathe 
Still you don’t care 
I’m tryna speak 
But my lungs are caving in

You take my life but not my soul 
Steal my breath but not my voice 
My mama cry, my daddy cry
My brother loads up the clip to ride 
My sister cry while she hugs him tight 
Said “you ain’t leaving” 

I can’t breathe 
But you don’t care 
I wanna scream out loud 
But my lungs are caving in
It’s hard to breathe 
But you don’t care 
I wanna scream 
But my lungs are caving in

Strange fruit don’t hang from trees no more 
No longer bound to the Forrest 
Ooh ohh ooo 
Ooh ooh ooo ooo 

I wanna breathe 
Can somebody help 
It’s hard to speak 
With a knee on my neck 
I can’t breathe 
Breathe 
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
