Mama said I was trouble from the day that I was born Had fire in my eyes and thorns instead of roses worn While other girls played house, I was climbing apple trees Breaking all the rules, doing what I damn well please They say I'm too wild, too loud, too free But that's just who I'm meant to be I was born to raise hell, born to shake the ground Born to turn this sleepy little town upside down Don't need your permission, don't need your blessing I was born to raise hell, and I ain't confessin' Got my grandma's spirit and my daddy's stubborn streak Sunday morning sermons ain't the salvation that I seek While they're pointing fingers, I'll be revving up my bike Living by my own rules, doing what I damn well like They whisper 'bout the girl who won't conform But I was built to weather every storm I was born to raise hell, born to shake the ground Born to turn this sleepy little town upside down Don't need your permission, don't need your blessing I was born to raise hell, and I ain't confessin' Some girls are made of sugar, some are made of spice But I was made of lightning, thunder, and rolled dice Don't mistake my fire for something cold and cruel I just won't be tamed by anybody's rules I was born to raise hell, born to shake the ground Born to show the world what freedom looks like now Got my own permission, got my own blessing I was born to raise hell, and I ain't confessin' Yeah, I was born to raise hell Born to raise hell And honey, I do it well
