I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Been shaded in the shadow of doubt
So lost, thought I couldn't be found
Everybody tried to count me out
So that I can't lie
I barely got by by the skin of my teeth (ooh)
Sinkin' sand up under my feet (ooh)
And I'll be damned if I ever let the end of me (ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Born to be born again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bent down at the end of my rope
Hangin' on by the thread of my soul
Givin' up just ain't in my bones
I keep my head held high
'Cause ain't no climb that is ever too steep (ooh)
The waters rise, but they're never too deep (ooh)
And I'll be damned if I ever let the end of me (ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was born to be born again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
Born to be born, born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
I was born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
Born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
You can't kill a man that was born to be born again
