Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh

Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh

Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh

I never thought I'd live to see
6
The way you treated me
7
You showing me all your convictions
8
And still we cannot see
9
I know that you have got the power
10
To license right from wrong
11
But I know when you feel you got the one
12
Another one will come along, oh
13
'Cause I was-a born tuff
14
You said I wasn't good enough
15
'Cause I was-a born tuff
16
You said I wasn't good enough
17
You've woken up and changed the rules
18
You call philanthropy, yeah
19
Human rights is just a word
20
To you but not for me
21
You're hoping now that we're afraid
22
Of your technology
23
But I know, we all got to go
24
So why should that now frighten me, oh
25
'Cause I was-a born tuff
26
You said I wasn't good enough
27
'Cause I was-a born tuff
28
You said I wasn't good enough
29
All right
30
Oh...
31
Oh...
32
White boys sing of our condition
33
But you won't listen to we, no
34
They know you're practicing racism
35
Right down from A to Z
36
Painting God in-a your image
37
And the devil just like we
38
But I won't kill my brother for my neighbor
39
The time is up, it's love you see, oh
40
'Cause I was-a born tuff
41
You said I wasn't good enough
42
'Cause I was-a born tuff
43
You said I wasn't good enough
44
Oh...
45
Oh...
46
'Cause I was-a born tuff
47
You said I wasn't good enough
48
I never thought I'd live to see
49
The way you're treating me
50
You showing me all your convictions
51
And still we cannot see
52
I know that you have got the power
53
To license right from wrong
54
But I know when you feel you got the one
55
Another one will come along
56
'Cause I was-a born tuff
57
You said I wasn't good enough
58
'Cause I was-a born tuff
59
You said I wasn't good enough
60
'Cause I was-a born tuff
61
You said I wasn't good enough
62
'Cause I was-a born tuff
63
You said I wasn't good enough
64
'Cause I was-a born tuff
65
You said I wasn't good enough
