Following the tragic death of George Floyd and inspired by the current BlackLivesMatter campaign, Jada in Year 13 has written and produced this beautiful song to raise money and try to make a difference.
Jada said ‘I was inspired by the current BlackLivesMatter campaign and the bravery of all those protesting to make a change in our societies. This fundraiser aims to gather the means through which we can begin to make a difference. Our heritage should be a source of pride not something that creates fear’

Lyrics
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Don't like to talk 'bout racial politics.
I don't enjoy being involved in it.
See it's like a maze but without a floor,
It's like a room but without a door.
Without a way out
Unless we make a way out.
I strive to be myself entirely.
But stupid details make it hard for me.
To share my culture and to proudly show
Is to ostracise myself, only be known
By the colour they see.
But the colour isn't me.
And I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe.
If you took a colour from the rainbow
And we struck it off,
We'd deprive the world of beauties unknown
And that's just not good enough
Cos I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
A fight that I won't turn away from
A voice that I won't let them conquer, we can't breathe.
Your actions won't go by unnoticed.
We won't pretend we won't let you rest.
A fight that I won't turn away from
A voice that I won't let them conquer, we can't breathe.
Your actions won't go by unnoticed.
We won't pretend we won't ignore this Cos I can't breathe.
