Lyrics for James Mincey Jr.

Can you please tell me How to ease the pain? Sick of brothers dying, decent guys Children in the streets Now the sun is gone Oh, it's so sad to see that You don't see yourself in me Please let me breathe I can't breathe Cry for my soul, oh Please, I can't breathe Let me breathe Cry for my soul Why should my skin bring so much pain? Can you please turn my mind The show must go on hold Tell me, baby, I love you Darling, need you to be strong Oh, it's so sad to see that You don't see yourself in me Why does my skin define Why does my skin define Why does my skin define me?
