Because I was born this way,
I got [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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,
 [bad word] to the knife

Because I was born this way,
I got [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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,
 [bad word] to the knife

Because I was born this way,
I got [bad word] 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 [bad word] thru my veins,
Ain't nobody gonna stop this train,
You can't stop us, we can't be stopped
