Black breath (intro)
Shungudzo
[Verse]
Black breath has been taken too long
By cold waves in murderous seas
By rope hanging from southern trees
By white police hands and knees
That day in 1963, the streets echoed, "I have dream"
Fast forward a half-century, "I can’t breathe"
Black breath has been taken too long
By cold waves in murderous seas
By rope hanging from southern trees
By white hands and knees
The history books lied to me
They called it, "The land of the free"
It should be, "The land of the wrong"
Black breath has been taken too long
[Refrain]
For too long, way too long
For too long, way too long
For too long, way too long
For too long, way too long
