Native Blood
Testament · Dark Roots Of Earth [2012]
Whenever i stumble, Whenever i fall
Whenever i'm pushed against the wall
This white man's world
Won't tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul but i can't feel
You hear me say, get out of my way
I'll do it my own way
Cross my path and get what you deserve
I'm warning this world
To say out of my way
My voise will be heard
I'm alone...
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voise will be heard
So loud!
Native blood
Forever proud, so goddamn loud
It's me alone against the crowd
Right or wrong it's the road that
I must choose...
There's no excuse, attitude!
Got Something here that i must prove
Live to win instead of burn to lose
I'm warning this world
To say out of my way
My voise will be heard
So strong...
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voise will be heard
So loud!
Native blood
I learned to walk before i could cawl
Whenever pushed, i push back
Not afraid to throw the first punch
I'm never wrong cause i'm always right
And when i'm wrong i won't admit it
Im the person your mother warned you about
They broke the mold after i came out
What gives me strength is my beliefes...
Whenever i stumble, Whenever i fall
I won't be pushed against the wall
This white man's world
Won't tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul but i can't feel
I'm warning this world
To say out of my way
My voise will be heard
I'm alone...
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voise will be heard
So loud!
Native blood
I'm warning this world
To say out of my way
My voise will be heard
So strong!!!
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voise will be heard
So loud!
Native blood
My native blood !
Whenever i'm pushed against the wall
This white man's world
Won't tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul but i can't feel
You hear me say, get out of my way
I'll do it my own way
Cross my path and get what you deserve
I'm warning this world
To say out of my way
My voise will be heard
I'm alone...
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voise will be heard
So loud!
