Born This Way Lyrics

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

Cover art for Born This Way lyrics by Thousand Foot Krutch

This song, in my opinion, explains "you" alone are the "train" that can't be stopped, which they mention in the song. The lines, "I got lightning running through my veins" resembles the adrenaline one has. When Trevor says, "So hop on board or get out the way" he's basically stating that you are either with him, or against him. This rule applies to about everyone, not just one person. There are times when people will doubt you, but it is up to you to build that unstoppable "train" that keeps pressing forward.

My Opinion

@Bound_By_Blood Dang Thank you!!! When I heard this song on my ipod, I never really gave it much thought, and I think it is because you don't always hear the lyrics correctly, and it takes time for some of the lines to sink in. Looking at the lyrics now, and seeing your post, I would have to agree. This song is MUCH deeper then I would ever have thought! Thanks for your opinion!!!
