I Just Wanna Live

I just wanna live
God protect me
I'm a young black man
Doin' 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 to 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
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
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
