Born To Fight

Tracy Chapman

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
