He's become his death The spark of the riots That's the way he's blessed To stay alive
It never leads to an end It's never getting quiet If it's unfair, my friend, Make up your mind
It's getting dark in New York city It's getting dark in New York city It's getting tight in New York city I need to catch my breath
You know this world of hate You know this stubborn light They're in the prayers you pray Late at night
We're only half way down Who dares to take a breath? Some fairness might be found From ashes of his death
It's getting dark in New York city It's getting dark in New York city It's getting tight in New York city I need to catch my breath
Get away for what? Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today. Why would you...? Everyone standing here will tell you I didn't do nothing.
I did not sell nothing. Because everytime you see me, you want to harass me. You want to stop me Selling cigarettes. I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business.
Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone. please please, don't touch me. Do not touch me. I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe. I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe
