[Chorus]
Because I was born this way
I got lightning running through 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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
Hands up, in the sky
Hands up and you'll learn to fly
So hop on board, or get out the way

[Chorus]
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
