Yeah, it's on the street, it's under your feet
It's everywhere but if you're looking for free
Don't look at me
My enemy became my country
On the run
Officer put down the gun
Native son
I never wanted to own one
Native son
Both of us want to be someone
It's so hard
Is it so hard for a native son to be free?
Tears falling from the sky, falling to the ground
Bullets start to fly
He's hurt, he's in the dirt
On my word
Don't want to run away
I'm safer in my father's place
I know that I can't stay
But if I stay, I know what's next
On the run
Officer put down the gun
Native son
I never wanted to own one
Native son
Both of us want to be someone
It's so hard
Is it so hard for a native son to be free?
Free
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Free
On the run
Officer put down the gun
Native son
I never wanted to own one
Native son
Both of us want to be someone
It's so hard
Is it so hard for a native son to be free?
Free, free
