Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
So hop on board, or get out the way
Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
You can't stop us, we can't be stopped

Ever since I was an infant, I spit it
Ate mics, and rocked Lennon
In first grade, I drank my juice with rocks in it
Never looked down, 'cause up, had more stains in it,
Always been about the heart, never cared who's winning'
Ha!…I chase the light, like emcees on the wrong mic
My blood was the wrong type, So I had to give my life
And relearn, the minute that I felt real life
I'd rather create, than follow
Welcome to the knife

Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
So hop on board, or get out the way
Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
You can't stop us, we can't be stopped

Feel that smoke rise, to the sky
Split, like a dollar sign
Flip, when ya hear that beat, rip like it's dynamite
Cold, like a winter street,
Loud, 'cause I wanna be
The mic is my weapon, so I spit this artillery
Ha!…I chase the light, like emcees on the wrong mic
My blood was the wrong type, So I had to give my life
And relearn, the minute that I felt real life
I'd rather create, than follow
Welcome to the knife

Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
So hop on board, or get out the way
Because I was born this way
I got lightning running thru my veins
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train
You can't stop us, we can't be stopped
