Instant song scritta in seguito alla morte di George Floyd, cui sono seguite numerose proteste, anche violente, e le vergognose reazioni di quella specie di pupazzo di nome Donald Trump

12-year-old singer's heartbreaking song in wake of George Floyd's death becomes rallying cry

"I'm a young black man, doing all that I can to stand...I just want to live," gospel singer Keedron Bryant sings.

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
