lyrics

Can I Live? (Just Gimme Freedom)

Can I live
With a knee on my neck
Can I live
With the tears I’ve shed
Can I live
When I cant breath
Can I live
Without the things I need

Can I live
When I step out my door
Can I live
When I walk alone at night
Can I live
When I cant take no more
Can I live
When I fight for my rights

I gotta fight to live
From the day I’m born to the day I die
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom, Just gimme Freedom

Can I live
When I’m as poor as can be
Can I live
Watching my people slain
Can I live
With what I’ve been giving to eat
Can I live
With this day after day

Can I live
From these lands I’ve grown
Can I live
When all I feel is defeat
Can I live
When I don’t feel at home
Can I live
With my face on the street

I gotta fight to live
From the day I’m born to the day I die
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom, Just gimme Freedom

Can I live
Live my life in peace
Can I live
In perfect harmony
Can I live
Without an enemy
Can I live
Without police brutality

Can I live
Without a target on my back
Can I live
Without getting stoned
Can I live
Without constant attack
Can I live
In the place I was born

I gotta fight to live
From the day I’m born to the day I die
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom (just gimme)
Freedom, Just gimme Freedom
