It’s that same cry when I had a boo-boo when I fell
Momma, can you hear me as I scream and yell
Momma MOMMA
This knee on my neck
I CAN’T BREATHE!
Momma Momma
Please hurry Please hurry please come quick
He’s trying to kill me
And his conviction might not stick
Momma Momma oh God I just peed
Can you come and change this madness change this madness Please!
Momma Momma
I CAN’T BREATHE!
Get this knee off my neck
I
CAN’T
BREATHE!
I’m slipping away
I’m slipping away
I love you, Momma
My last breath I breathe
