about

The proceeds from every download will go to the family of Eric Garner. Lyrics made from the last words of our fallen brother:

"Get away [garbled] ... 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 every time you see me, you want to harass me. You want to stop me (garbled) 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."

lyrics

It stops today
I can’t breathe
It stops today
I can’t breathe

It stops today
My brother will not die in vain
It stops today
This time there are no shades of gray
It stops today
Because I’m terrified of what more it would take
for things to change

I can’t breathe
Yeah we know that you heard
I can’t breathe
I no longer have the words
I can’t breathe
When the whole damn system is twisted
and absurd

It stops today
I can’t breathe
It stops today
I can’t breathe

All we want is some semblance of justice
All you want is for us to just shut up
We are Shaolin soldiers
You are Staten Island’s status quo
We’re here to fight. We have had enough.

It stops today
I can’t breathe
It stops today
Officer, please

Every time they saw him they messed with him
Every time he saw me he said hello
Standing outside that deli
he would nod and smile at me
Tell me, where did my friend Eric Garner go?
Where did my friend Eric Garner go?
