Native Blood Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood

[Verse 2]
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 born to lose

[Chorus]
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood

[Bridge]
I learned to walk before I could crawl
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
I'm the person your mother warned you about
They broke the mold after I came out
What gives me strength is my beliefs

[Verse 3]
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, native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul, but I can't feel

[Chorus]
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood

I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood

My native blood
My native blood
My native blood
