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
