In light of the turmoil plaguing my homeland and my feelings surrounding recent events, this song is dedicated to all who have the heel of oppression at their throats, in particular George Floyd and his family and friends.

lyrics

I saw a man lying in the street
He ain't done nothin' wrong
Now I hear the sound of angry feet
It's gone on for too long
I watched a man lying in the street
The murderer just smiled
Now I hear the sound of angry feet
Marching for his child

I saw a man lying in the street
He called his mother's name
Now I hear the sound of angry feet
Never gonna be the same
I watched a man lying in the street
A knee held to his head
Now I hear the sound of angry feet
How many more lives dead?

HE COULDN'T BREATHE

I saw a man lying in the street
Familiar sight to see
Now I hear the sound of angry feet
Demanding to be free

THEY CAN NOT BREATHE
