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 / Chorus] 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
