My Native Pride

Roses are red,
Natives are brown,
That's my race,
So don't put it down.

My native pride
I will not hide,
My native race
I will not disgrace.

My native blood
Flows hot and true,
My native people
I will stand by you,

Through thick and thin
Till the day we die,
Our native flag
Always stands high.

I yell this poem
Louder than all the rest,
Cause everyone knows
Natives are the best.
