John P. Kee - Let Me Breathe

 
0
Copied!
I am a man, I have a heart
There is so much inside of me that I must impart
There is someone's that loves me dear
I can’t imagine life without them being near

So you can't take my life in your hands
Treat me as though I'm not a common man
You may never ever show respect to me
But there is one thing I’m owed respectfully

Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That's a God given right given to me
Just let me breathe, just let me breathe
For my life matters to family, friends and me

I don't admit I walk in fear
Never knowing when my end is drawing near
I tell my seed they must comply
But it seems that that's a game called do and die

So you can't take my life in your hands
And treat me as though I'm not a common man
You may never ever show respect to me
But there is one thing I'm owed respectfully

Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That's a God given right given to me
So if I die at the hands of somebody carelessly
For my life matters to my family, friends and me
Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe
Regardless to what you’re seeing
I am a human being
And I have the right to live

Let me breathe, oh, let me breathe
Regardless to what you think of me
I am a human being
And I have the right to live
...

Just let me breathe, let me breathe
That’s a God given right given to me
So if I die at the hands of one carelessly
My life mattered to family, friends and me
...

Biography

John P. Kee, known as the “Prince of Gospel Music”, is a pioneering figure in contemporary urban gospel music. Born in Durham, North Carolina, Kee founded the New Life Community Choir to bring a fresh sound to traditional gospel music. His unique approach blends hip-hop and funk influences with powerful vocal arrangements, creating a joyful noise that sets his music apart from other genres of praise music.

In his youth, Kee ventured to California with dreams of making it in the music industry, even earning album credits with popular R&B groups like Cameo and Soltandome. However, he returned to North Carolina after battling drug addiction and experiencing a transformative moment during a local revival meeting. Kee rededicated himself to the church and is now the pastor of the New Life Community Church in Charlotte.

Kee's powerful vocals and mastery of the piano have earned him critical acclaim in the gospel music world. He has a vocal octave range that allows him to improvise and 'scat' in a jazz-like manner, evoking emotional responses from his listeners. His reign in the 1980s broke boundaries in contemporary gospel music, paving the way for artists like Kirk Franklin to push the envelope even further in the 1990s.

Dr. John P. Kee received a doctorate in sacred music in 2009 and has been recognized with two Billboard awards for the “We Walk By Faith” LP, as well as an NAACP Image Award for Best Gospel Artist. Kee, who is the 15th of 16 children, continues the familial tradition with his wife Felice Sampson, raising nine children together. Their son recently performed as the drummer for Diddy’s “Last Train to Paris” tour.

In August 2015, Kee released his first studio album entitled Level Next with Motown Gospel, showcasing his continued innovation in the urban contemporary gospel genre. His influence on the music industry and his commitment to spreading the message of faith and redemption through music have solidified his legacy as a true gospel music legend.
