Born to Fight Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

Crossroads

1989

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
There ain't no man no woman
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
There ain't no man no woman
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight
