Born To Lose

As he yelled out to the sky

As a tear rained from his eye

Oh was I born to lose

Why does the color of someone's skin

Raise the fear that lurks within

That makes men hate as they do

[Bridge]

Created equal so they say

When this was written

I was property not man

Growing bitter day by day

Battered but proud

I will defy until the end

Take a chance and cross the line

Met with resistance for what's rightfully mine

The strong take from the weak

And the wicked destroy the meek

[Chorus]:

Take a chance and cross the line

Ignorance breeds hatred and hatred is blind

The strong take from the weak

And the wicked destroy the meek

When you're born to lose

Born into a world

Where you're considered one of them

Tell me what can you do

Equality is hypocrisy

Often spoken but seldom used

[Bridge]

Created equal so they say

When this was written

I was property not man

Growing bitter day by day

Battered but proud

I will defy until the end

Take a chance and cross the line

Met with resistance for what's rightfully mine

The strong take from the weak

And the wicked destroy the meek

[Chorus]

Take a chance and cross the line

Ignorance breeds hatred and hatred is blind

The strong take from the weak

And the wicked destroy the meek

When you're born to lose

The pain The pain

Never a day without it

The lies The lies

Never a day I'm not reminded

Buried alive and no one hears you scream

The chains that bind you that no one ever sees

They fear my anger but they don't see my pain

Deep down inside me burns the rage
