Mama, It’s Just A Normal Day In America

George Floyd

Mama,
Him with a badge and a gun
His knee is crushing my neck
His hands in his pockets
Oh Mama, he do it for the fun!

And I
I can’t breathe
Please, please, I can’t breathe
Mama!

Mama,
We’re not in war
It’s a normal day in America
The sky’s blue and the summer’s breezy
But the road’s asphalt is searing my face

And I
I can’t breathe
Please, please, I can’t breathe
Mama!

Mama,
I’m through, I’m dying
I can feel life is leaving
And he still won’t lift up his knee
Mama, why do he want to kill me?

Him and them with badges and guns
Why do they kill me like this?
It’s a normal day in America
Why don’t they hear me cry, Mama?

And I
I can’t breathe
Please, please, I can’t breathe
Mama!

I’ma look for my daughter from above
I’ma kiss her goodbye from afar
This black pain in my heart
How do I explain it to her, Mama?
It’s just a normal day in America!
