I Can't Breathe

Have you ever felt this weight on your chest

That makes it feel like you can't breathe?

I have

I can't breathe

I'm struggling finding the balance

Between what I want and I need

I've been playing with God

But it feels like the Devil's been coaching the team

I got so much to say

But anxiety whispers and tells me, "Don't speak"

I been living on Earth

But one day I was shocked to go live in my dreams, uh

I been lost in my mind for a minute, I'm searching for somewhere to go

I look right at my mom and I cry 'cause I wish she didn't have to get old

I got all of these people around me, but why do I still feel alone?

I got all this money

I just bought a house

But with nobody in it, it isn't a home

All of these contacts inside of my phone

But I can't come in contact with someone to hold

Sometimes I sit in the shower and cry

'Cause the water disguises my tears in the flow

Look in the mirror, I don't see a soul

Looking for love, but I'm on the road

This isn't a song, this is a poem, God

I can't breathe

I'm not even tired

But I just want to sleep

I'm drowning in pain

It's getting too deep

This weight is enormous, I'm crying for help, but don't nobody see

I'm at war in my head

Every day I've been screaming and fighting for peace

I'm hurt, my heart's full of rage

My life is a book that they can't even read

'Cause I'm bleeding on every page

Our people are dying, to young man, we're tired

Of commenting all on their page

We just said a prayer for one and woke up

And another was taken away

Let me know if it's better space

I wanted the money, I got it

And now that I'm rich, I got nothing to chase

I'd rather be happy and broke than rich

With no one to love every day

I know everybody relates

I hope that you hear while I pray

Let me say, God

I can't breathe (I can't)

I'm on my knees

I'm begging you please (Please)

They left me for dead

Created a storm

They thought I would drown

But they didn't know that I am a seed

And, yes, I'm looking for help

I wanted to love, but I could love 'cause I didn't love myself

I'm done blaming everyone else

No more blaming everyone else

From now on I'm blaming myself

I can't breathe

I'm struggling finding the balance

Between what I want and I need

I've been playing with God

But it feels like the Devil's been coaching the team

I got so much to say

But anxiety whispers and tells me, "Don't speak"

I been living on Earth (I can't breathe)

But one day I wish I could go live in my dreams

I'm struggling finding the balance

Between what I want and I need

I've been playing with God

But it feels like the Devil's been coaching the team

I got so much to say

But anxiety whispers and tells me, "Don't speak"

I been living on Earth

But one day I wish I could go live in my dreams

I can't breathe

Not tired but I sleep

I cry, yes, I weep

They don't know what I need

I can't breathe

I'm struggling finding the balance

Between what I want and I need

I've been playing with God

But it feels like the Devil's been coaching the team

I got so much to say

But anxiety whispers and tells me, "Don't speak"

I been living on Earth (I can't breathe)

But one day I wish I could go live in my dreams

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't

Breathe
