Native Son |
| Came through snow and driving rain |
| I came free and I came chained |
| I watched ships pull up on shore |
| Worked and played, lived and died |
| Valleys deep in mountainside |
| Don’t say you don’t need me anymore |
| 'Cause I ain’t going nowhere |
| 'Cause I’m right where I belong |
| I don’t have to love it |
| And I don’t have to leave it |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
| Soldier, sailor, servant, slave |
| All the blood and sweat I gave |
| I sang songs of home I left behind |
| My head’s been beaten, my soul’s been spent |
| My taxes taken, my back’s been bent |
| And no one ever paid me any mind |
| And I ain’t going nowhere |
| 'Cause I’m right where I belong |
| I don’t have to love it |
| And I don’t have to leave it |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
| Been written out of every book |
| Jailed and slandered, robbed and took |
| But I always found another way |
| Earn in a factory, fought in the streets |
| Hung from the bridges and died to speak |
| I brought you everything you have today |
| And I ain’t going nowhere |
| 'Cause I’m right where I belong |
| I don’t have to love it |
| And I don’t have to leave it |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
| I’m your brother I’ve been beaten and mistreated |
| I’m your daughter, I’ve been lied to, I’ve been cheated |
| I’m the one they call now when everything’s in pieces |
| The forgotten child that you thought you never needed |
| I ain’t going nowhere |
| 'Cause I’m right where I belong |
| I don’t have to love it |
| And I don’t have to leave it |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
| Ain’t no stranger here, I am your native son |
