in AlbumCrossroads

Born To Fight

They're tryin' to take away my pride

By stripping me of everything I own

They're tryin' to hurt me inside

And make me into a white man's drone

But this one's not for sale

And I was born to fight

I ain't been knocked down yet

I was born to fight

I'm the surest bet

There ain't no man no woman

No beast alive that can beat me

'Cause I'm born to fight

They're tryin' to dig into my soul

And take away the spirit of my god

They're tryin' to take control

And monitor my every thought

I won't let down my guard

And I was born to fight

I ain't been knocked down yet

I was born to fight

I'm the surest bet

There ain't no man no woman

No beast alive that can beat me

'Cause I'm born to fight
