Another 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 Another body on the ground

Another 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



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
