Please, please I cannot breathe
I cannot touch my soul
You're strangling my dignity
And 'cause of what? Asked I.
A black skin I didn't paint
But tell me why am I to die
And leave my mum and dad
Crying silently my death alone?
But tell me why have I to drop
A life that've always longed to live?
You have got milky skins, but within
A set of murky hearts
Filled in with hatred and grudges
I cannot breathe
Do you hear me?
The blurry lights begin to fade
And darkness's calling realms of Hades
My tongue knelt in deep supplication but
It was too late, my soul slips away
To leave a hurtful silence
Within my mournful tears.
