lyrics

There's a fever in the night
Choke you so hard
Until your body gets tight
How to change it?
You don't know what you can do
Blur your vision
Watch your life slide out of view

There is violence
All around you
So entrenched
The pavement feels like glue
Only choice is to gamble with your life
Look the other way to the poor man's strife

You ain't born, if born on the right side
You ain't born, don't cross over the line
You ain't born if your hands ain't mucky
You ain't born if you're just born lucky

Look behind you
Eyes in the back of your head
Question each day
Filled with fear and dread
Give up hoping
Of what life could have become
Only power is with the gun

You ain't born, if born on the right side
You ain't born, don't cross over the line
You ain't born if your hands ain't mucky
You ain't born if you're just born lucky

You may be thinking 'well there's always a way'
You may be thinking 'they deserve it anyway'
Well let me tell you if that's what you really say
Your face ain't in the mud
You ain't born day by day

You ain't born, if born on the right side
You ain't born, don't cross over the line
You ain't born, if born on the right side
You ain't born, don't cross over the line
You ain't born if your hands ain't mucky
You ain't born if you're just born lucky
