Lyrics

He don’t need nobody trying put him down.

He don’t want nobody on his sacred ground.

He don’t need to worry, he don’t do no wrong.

He works hard all day, ‘til the sun goes down.



He lives by a different set of rules.

You can judge him, but he ain’t nobody’s fool.



He don’t want no trouble, kinda’ minds his own.

He loved his family; now he walks alone.

He lives in the present. He locks the past away.

He gives thanks to God for another day.



He lives by a different set of rules.

You can judge him, but he ain’t nobody’s fool.



He keeps tryin’ to push it back in his mind,

but you can still see the look in his eyes.

He keeps tryin’ to understand

why they got away with takin’ all his land.



And he lives by a different set of rules.

You can judge him, but he ain’t nobody’s fool.

He may look away like he just don’t give a damn,

but the truth is that it’s always been his land.
