Paul Robeson (Born To Be Free) - Black 47[00:00:00]

You can wreck my name vilify me [00:00:31]

Stretch me on the rack[00:00:33]

But I won't bow down to any man [00:00:36]

Be he white or be he black[00:00:38]

Take away my passport refuse to let me travel[00:00:41]

But I will not get down on my knees [00:00:46]

You're never gonna make me grovel[00:00:48]

There's a lot more to democracy than havin' a vote[00:00:51]

I'm the equal here of any man [00:00:56]

Free my people let them go[00:00:58]

These chains around my body are never gonna hold me[00:01:01]

And I refuse to be a slave in my own country[00:01:06]

The great are only great 'cause we're down on our knees[00:01:11]

Rise up my brothers and sisters we were born to be free[00:01:16]

Born to be free[00:01:21]

You can call me a traitor but I love my country[00:01:42]

And I will not sell out it because of your hypocrisy[00:01:47]

I refuse to hide behind the Fifth I've no fear of honesty[00:01:52]

You always know exactly where I am so why don't you just[00:01:57]

Come on over here and get me[00:02:00]

You can tap my phone but there's one thing you will never hear[00:02:03]

'Cause the drumbeat of freedom wasn't meant for your slaves' ears[00:02:08]

I'll never turn my back on my comrades and my friends[00:02:13]

The poor and the dispossessed the women and the men[00:02:18]

The great are only great 'cause we're down on our knees[00:02:23]

Rise up my brothers and sisters we were born to be free[00:02:28]

Born to be free[00:02:32]

I stand here struggling for the rights of[00:02:49]

My people to be full citizens in this country and they are not [00:02:52]

Close your halls to stop me singin'[00:02:56]

Close your minds to stop me speakin'[00:02:59]

Close your kitchens to stop me eatin'[00:03:01]

Close your hotels to stop me sleepin'[00:03:04]

But I'll never turn my back on my comrades and my friends[00:03:06]

The poor and the dispossessed the women and the men[00:03:11]

The great are only great 'cause we're down on our knees[00:03:17]

Rise up my brothers and sisters we were born to be free[00:03:22]

Born to be free[00:03:26]

These chains around my body are never gonna hold me[00:03:37]

And I refuse to be a slave in my own country[00:03:42]

The great are only great 'cause we're down on our knees[00:03:47]

Rise up my brothers and sisters we were born to be free[00:03:52]

Born to be free[00:03:57]

I am born and bred in this America of ours [00:04:09]

I want to love it but we must have the courage[00:04:12]

To shout at the top of our voices about our injustices [00:04:16]

And we must lay the blame right where[00:04:19]

It has belonged for over three hundred years of slavery[00:04:22]

And misery - right here on our own doorstep [00:04:24]

My father was a slave and my people died to build this country [00:04:39]

And I'm going to stay here and[00:04:45]

Have a part of it just like you [00:04:47]

And no facist-minded people will drive me from it--is that clear[00:04:50]
