                   E            B7
They're tryin' to take away my pride,
C7                       A7
by stripping me of everything I own
E                            B7
They're tryin' to hurt me inside
C7                A7
and make into a white man's drone
C7        B7                     E
Oh no, oh no this one's not for sale

C7 B7      E
And I was born to fight
   B7
I ain't been knocked down yet,
       E
I was born to fight
         B7
tell you I'm the surest bet,

Chorus:
               C7                A7
there ain't no man, no woman, no beast alive
          B7                         E
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
