Lyrics Don't Tread on Me - Nu Breed

My poppa told me, son
This country wasn't fought for by men who run
So get your rifle and get your gun
And tell them all this when they come
Don't tread on me (come on, come on)
Don't tread on me
Say it again
Don't tread on me (yeah, yeah)
Don't tread on me
Don't tread on me

Have mercy on their souls, for the ones who trespass against us
When they come to take our guns and get lit up like it's Christmas
Hellfire through the homeland, Lord, we're begging, please
How much blood are we gon' bleed until they finally set us free?
I'm just a broke man from the bottom (come on)
But I refuse to be quiet
They gon' have to lock me away or put me inside a mental asylum

To this day, I hear them sirens (come on), I know it's coming ahead
I just pray for the ones I love and thank you, God, for my daily bread, amen
So hate it or love it, it's coming for sure
Loaded and cocky, get ready for war
My granny, my poppa, they're passing the torch
Only big dogs hopping off the porch
With shotguns and thick skin, when the time comes, either sink or swim
Never bow down, we rise up, it's in our blood, we play to win

My poppa told me, son
This country wasn't fought for by men who run
So get your rifle and get your gun
And tell them all this when they come
Don't tread on me (come on, come on)
Don't tread on me
Say it again
Don't tread on me (yeah, yeah)
Don't tread on me
Don't tread on me

There's a black cloud overhead of us
And it's starting to pour down (pour down)
When the preacher man says it's the end of time
How many are laughing now? (Laughing now)
You better pray up to God when these times get hard
Better learn how to stand your ground (stand your ground)
It's the weak that'll fall when they come for our souls

Stand tall and say it loud (say it loud)
Don't tread on me
So help me Lord (help me Lord)
Don't tread on us
Or there's gonna be a hell of a war (one hell of a war)

My poppa told me, son
This country wasn't fought for by men who run
So get your rifle and get your gun
And tell them all this when they come
Don't tread on me (come on, come on)
Don't tread on me
Say it again
Don't tread on me (yeah, yeah)
Don't tread on me
Don't tread on me

Don't tread on me
So help me Lord (help me Lord)
Don't tread on us
Or there's gonna be a hell of a war
Don't tread on me (say it again)
Don't tread on me
