I was born to raise hell
I was born to be alive
I was raised to do well
Walking by my father's side
Now I'm going down the Nile
To see where my trouble lies
I'll be gone for a little while
To seek out the Devil's spies
I was born to raise hell
Momma taught me how to pray
I was born to do well
Papa taught me how to pay
How to pay all my debtors
How to satisfy the soul
With a love that never fetters
How to live on my own
Give me a corner of this world
Let me peacefully abide
Give me a place where I can rest my head
Let all harmony reside
With all my friends
And all my enemies
