Cnother body on the floor that's how the story goes
On his way home to his little woman, when the cops pulled him over
Have I done something wrong mr officer cnother body on the ground
cnother brother going down
People passing around they all can hear the sound
Can someone please help me ? I m scared and I can t breathe

Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me
Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me

They don t love we and it s an evidence
Fi di black people they got no diligence
Shedding the blood of so much innocent
That s why we haffi put up a resistance
Situation is getting out of control/ it s like they want to put we all in a big hole
Genocide of my people is what I behold
Killing all black Queens and Kings is that your goal ?
Burn them and them wickedness lightning and thunder upon the wicked place
Step we a step up ina dem face
They will never get rid of mi black race
Equal rights and justice them nah provide
Why is it always the same that are victimized
Tired of seeing my poor black mothers cry
Full time Babylon fe realize

This ain't the way things out to be
Is this the World we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me

There must be a change say we ve got to rearrange you nuh see how things gone insane though we re all one and the same
Where is the love we ought to share ?
See them killing my people as if they don t care
Hot fire and flames for all the innocent ones that you slained
For all the heartaches and pain and all the lives sent down the draint
Oh father here me as I pray please come down and show us a better way
