lyrics

Jesus is black, yes he is
And he knows exactly what suffering is
Cuz under the sways of the lynching tree
He redeemed and set his people free

The burning cross is a wicked lie
It says the black man, he shall die / plural
It lusts for endless flowing blood
The veins of Christ somehow are not enough

But we stand as one and sing
To the only living King
Who is able to heal

I can’t breathe under these feet
I can’t breathe when I’ve been beat
Mommas are on the street
Raisin’ their voices

Dr. King said it before
Without peace there’s only war
So may the Lord show his grace
For only one human race

But I salute the African shore
And all those who’ve gone before
That laid their lives for this noble cause
A remedy that won’t be lost, no

I can’t breathe under these feet
I can’t breathe when I’ve been beat
Mommas are on the street
Raisin’ their voices
