Let Me Breathe - John P. Kee

I am a man, I have a heart

There is so much inside of me that I must impart

There is someone’s that loves me dear

I can’t imagine life without them being near

So you can’t take my life in your hands

Treat me as though I’m not a common man

You may never ever show respect to me

But there is one thing I’m owed respectfully

Just let me breathe, let me breathe

That’s a God given right given to me

Just let me breathe, just let me breathe

For my life matters to family, friends and me

I don’t admit I walk in fear

Never knowing when my end is drawing near

I tell my seed they must comply

But it seems that that’s a game called do and die

So you can’t take my life in your hands

And treat me as though I’m not a common man

You may never ever show respect to me

But there is one thing I’m owed respectfully

Just let me breathe, let me breathe

That’s a God given right given to me

So if I die at the hands of somebody carelessly

For my life matters to my family, friends and me

Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe

Regardless to what you’re seeing

I am a human being

And I have the right to live

Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe

Regardless to what you think of me

I am a human being

And I have the right to live

Just let me breathe, let me breathe

That’s a God given right given to me

So if I die at the hands of one carelessly

My life mattered to family, friends and me
