Born To Fight Lyrics
They're tryin' to take away my pride
By stripping me of everyhing 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
By stripping me of everyhing I own
They're tryin' to hurt me inside
And make me into a white man's drone
And I was born to fight
I ain't been knocked down yet
I was born to fight
I'm the surest bet
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight
And take away the spirit of my god
They're tryin' to take control
And monitor my every thought
And I was born to fight
I ain't been knocked down yet
I was born to fight
I'm the surest bet
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight

History time and time again shows one group of people stealing culture, pride, money religion from another. This song speaks of how white people have historically done this to black people. It also shows a person who refuses to let others take who she is and turn her into something else.
