Came through snow and driving rain I came free and I came chained I watched ships pull up on shore Worked and played, lived and died Valleys deep in mountainside Don't say you don't need me anymore 'Cause I ain't going nowhere 'Cause I'm right where I belong I don't have to love it And I don't have to leave it Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son Soldier, sailor, servant, slave All the blood and sweat I gave I sang songs of home I left behind My head's been beaten, my soul's been spent My taxes taken, my back's been bent And no one ever paid me any mind And I ain't going nowhere 'Cause I'm right where I belong I don't have to love it And I don't have to leave it Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son Been written out of every book Jailed and slandered, robbed and took But I always found another way Earn in a factory, fought in the streets Hung from the bridges and died to speak I brought you everything you have today And I ain't going nowhere 'Cause I'm right where I belong I don't have to love it And I don't have to leave it Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son I'm your brother I've been beaten and mistreated I'm your daughter, I've been lied to, I've been cheated I'm the one they call now when everything's in pieces The forgotten child that you thought you never needed I ain't going nowhere 'Cause I'm right where I belong I don't have to love it And I don't have to leave it Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
I'm your daughter, I've been lied to, I've been cheated I'm the one they call now when everything's in pieces The forgotten child that you thought you never needed,,,,,my life,,and I ain't going nowhere !
I was born and raised in Bozeman Montana my family has lived here for 200 years (I understand it’s only impressive for white people) but I’m homeless in the town that my family built I feel like this song is about me
This should be the Republican anthem, I'm so tired of being vilified for being a patriot. Best thing I've heard in years. Oh... and can somebody make sure Trudeau gets a copy? Way to go brother truckers of Canada!!!!! "I BROUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TODAY"
@@Raja87051 Shhhh, nobody tell this "gal" that so-called "Native" Americans aren't any more "native" than Europeans are. They just moved here before the white man did, nothing more.
@@Malikyte13 Native as in they predated other humans. Using this logic nothing is native, and that's worthless semantics. Why did you even bring them up? This song is about James Baldwin's collection of poems about race in America, namely how minorities are written out of history. It's a pretty bitter album, as with most of their music.

One song our generation needs
Now. More than ever
I wish I can see them live someday!
We are the voice of the unheard. Stronger than we think we are.
Came through snow and driving rain
I came free and I came chained
I watched ships pull up on shore
Worked and played, lived and died
Valleys deep in mountainside
Don't say you don't need me anymore
'Cause I ain't going nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it
And I don't have to leave it
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
Soldier, sailor, servant, slave
All the blood and sweat I gave
I sang songs of home I left behind
My head's been beaten, my soul's been spent
My taxes taken, my back's been bent
And no one ever paid me any mind
And I ain't going nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it
And I don't have to leave it
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
Been written out of every book
Jailed and slandered, robbed and took
But I always found another way
Earn in a factory, fought in the streets
Hung from the bridges and died to speak
I brought you everything you have today
And I ain't going nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it
And I don't have to leave it
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
I'm your brother I've been beaten and mistreated
I'm your daughter, I've been lied to, I've been cheated
I'm the one they call now when everything's in pieces
The forgotten child that you thought you never needed
I ain't going nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it
And I don't have to leave it
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
Ain't no stranger here, I am your native son
i think it's "burned in factories" but ty for this.
@@danielrobertson2154 yeah "burned in factories, fought in streets" at least as far as my ears can tell...
BRILLIANT THESE ARE A GOOD OLD BAND WHO WRITE GREAT SONGS
I love Lucia’s voice so much
She did the intro to Walk on Boy so well.
I truly am the native son
Thank u loved ones of
"Devil Makes Three"
Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma and Pa....
This is dy~no~mite!!!
Absolutely love it
This song got me through a very dark time.
Best song ever
This song is incredible 🤘
The most American song since this land is my land
You guys always deliver
"Soldier, sailor, servant, slave,
All the blood and sweat I gave. . ."
Hits like a fucking truck.
Man, that beginning intro has the same cadence as "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and I can't unhear it.
wow, lucky I got here early
anybody else get intensely reminded of Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
I'm your daughter, I've been lied to, I've been cheated
I'm the one they call now when everything's in pieces
The forgotten child that you thought you never needed,,,,,my life,,and I ain't going nowhere !

Imagine feeling white guilt
@@boimemes3462How is this comment white guilt? Stop making up shit.
Hi Tracy 👋
Don't Rock My FloatinG raft A CAN N03.
Goddamn is there a song they have that I don’t love.
exactly!
I don't love listening to car wreck. Reminds me too much of old buddy's going nowhere I miss, but can't hang around no more.
The exact opposite of “stranger” in my opinion
This should be the Republican anthem, I'm so tired of being vilified for being a patriot. Best thing I've heard in years. Oh... and can somebody make sure Trudeau gets a copy? Way to go brother truckers of Canada!!!!! "I BROUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TODAY"
shh, nobody tell this guy the real meaning of the song

Republicans believe the exact opposite of this message, half the people this song is talking about y'all want exiled from the country lol
Trutard needs to go
