As I felt his knees on my throat
My fear rose,
What is he doing?
The bile rose,
The breathing labored,
I tried to shake him off,
But six more knees held me down,
Give me a chance my mind screamed !
Give me a chance to explain!
I meant no harm,
I came willingly,
My hands are bound,
I am face down on the hard ground,
Please,please let me up
Its been a while now 
I truly feel as if i will die 
I started begging 
Begging anyone looking on 
Pleading with my eyes
My blood on the ground now
Running through the cuts on my face
That's pressed on the tough ground 
Oh my God!


I need to live for my daughter
Please let me up 
I can't breathe
Mommy!
I can't breathe
My Daughter
I can't breathe 
I am going to die 
I can't breathe 
My dignity is gone
I can't breathe as I piss myself
My body feels heavy
My lungs burn
it's painful
My heart beat is slowing down
I can no longer hold on 
My daughter, I love you 
I tried


As my life ebbs away 
My blood ,sweat and tears  poured into this earth
The knee on my throat has grown heavier
My last conscious thought
I cant breathe
I can't Breathe
Derek Chauvin murdered me 
I can't breath
please fight for me 
although i am gone 
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me die in vain
my daughter lives on 
I need my brown baby to be safe 
I need the colour of my skin to not be a death sentence
Please remember my name 
I am GEORGE FLOYD
and 
I CAN'T BREATHE....
