Verse 1

			   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




Chorus

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,

			C7                A7

there ain’t no man, no woman, no beast alive

	  B7                         E

that can beat me ‘cause I’m born to fight




Verse 2

               E           B7

They’re tryin’ to dig into my soul,

C7                 A7

and take away the spirit of my God

E                         B7

They’re tryin’ to take control

C7             A7

and monitor my every thought

C7        B7                      E

Oh no, oh no  I won’t let down my guard




Chorus

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,

			C7                A7

there ain’t no man, no woman, no beast alive

	  B7                         E

that can beat me ‘cause I’m born to fight.
