I just wanna live
God protect me
I'm a young black man
Doing all that I can
To stand
Oh, but when I look around
And I see what's being done
To my kind
Every day
I'm being hunted as prey
My people don't want no trouble
We've had enough struggle
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
So many thoughts in my head
Will I live or will I end up dead?
It's an unequal sequel
No matter where I be
There's no place safe for me
Oh, oh
I'm not asking for too much
So Lord, please, help
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
This is my battle cry, oh
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
I'm a young black man
Doing all that I can
To stand
Oh, but when I look around
And I see what's being done
To my kind
Every day
I'm being hunted as prey
My people don't want no trouble
We've had enough struggle
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
So many thoughts in my head
Will I live or will I end up dead?
It's an unequal sequel
No matter where I be
There's no place safe for me
Oh, oh
I'm not asking for too much
So Lord, please, help
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
This is my battle cry, oh
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
God protect me
(Just stay right by my side)
I just wanna live
