Don'tTreadOnMe

Don't Tread On Me - Levi Stoker

I was born with a limestone

This jacket and gray

And the sun has to fight

Just to start up the day

I don't ask for much

And I don't take a lot

I just want to keep

What is mine in this spot

You're looking for a serving

You're looking for a slave

But you're standing on the edge

Of a very deep grave

There's a warning in the rattle

And a fire in the eye

Of a man who would rather be buried than alive

Oh, I'm a sovereign soul

And I'm wild and free

So take a step back

And don't tread on me

I've got a mountain of pride

And a heart of solid oak

And I won't be the one

To go wearing your yoke

Yeah, the flag is in the dirt

But the spirit's in the tree

I'm telling you now

Don't tread on me

You can write all your laws

In a book made of gold

But a man with a conscience

Is a man you can't hold

I see you circling

Like a hawk in the sky

Waiting for the moment

That the wheel runs dry

Well, I've got a screen

That you never quite faint

And a peace in the valley

You left far behind

Oh, I'm a sovereign soul

And I'm wild and free

So take a step back

And don't tread on me

I've got a mountain of pride

And a heart of solid oak

And I won't be the one

To go wearing your yoke

Yeah, the flag is in the dirt

But the spirit's in the tree

I'm telling you now

Don't tread on me

You can't cage the wind

And you can't fence the light

I'm the only one left

Who's still willing to fight

Don't tread on me

The wind's gotta be

Finally free
