Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
Call me a outcast, call me a freak
Watch those bullets ricochet straight off of me
'Cause I belong where right is wrong
No lost cause like the good book say
Don't give a damn what people think
I march along to a different song
Whoa, I feel it deep in my bones
I was born to break every curse, every chain
So I'm singing
Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Hail, hail the black sheep
Thicker than water, thick as thieves
Oh, how the river runs deep
We are blood, we are family
Hail, hail the black sheep
Can't shut me up, won't bite my tongue
Speak my truth till the day is done
I'm not ashamed, I own my pain
Never was lost but I found my way
Always knew I'd show my scars one day
For the rules I broke helped me build my throne
Whoa, I'm right where I belong
Now I'm singing
Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Hail, hail the black sheep
Thicker than water, thick as thieves
Oh, how the river runs deep
We are blood, we are family
Hail, hail the black sheep
Hail the black sheep, yeah
Hail the black sheep, oh, yeah
From the streets to the gutters, we're sisters and brothers
One nation under one love, one color, born to be black sheep
Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Hail, hail the black sheep
Thicker than water, thick as thieves
Oh, how the river runs deep
We are blood, we are family
Hail, hail the black sheep
From the streets to the gutters, we're sisters and brothers
We are blood, we are family
Hail, hail the black sheep
