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
