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
