Born to Fight Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

They′re tryin' to take away my pride
By stripping me of everything I own
They′re tryin' to hurt me inside
Make me into the white man's drone

Oh-no-no, no-no
This one′s not for sale

I was born to fight, yeah
Said, I ain′t been knocked down yet
I was born to fight, yeah
I tell you, I'm the surest bet
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
Take away the spirit of my god
They're tryin' to take control
Monitor my every thought

Oh-no-no, no-no
I won′t let down my guard


I was born to fight, yeah
I said, I ain′t been knocked down yet
I was born to fight, yeah
I tell you, I'm the surest bet
Ain′t no man, no woman, no beast alive
That can beat me
'Cause I′m born to fight

They're tryin′ to take away my pride
Stripping me of everything I own
They're tryin' to hurt me inside
Make me into the white man′s drone

But oh-no-no, no-no
This one′s not for sale

I was born to fight, yeah
Said, I ain't been knocked down yet
I was born to fight, yeah
I tell you, 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
