Gaga chants in the middle of the song: "Don't be a drag, just be a queen/ Whether you're broke or evergreen/ You're black, white, beige, chola descent/ You're Lebanese, you're Orient/ Whether life's disabilities/ Left you outcast, bullied or teased/ Rejoice and love yourself today/ 'Cause baby, you we're born this way/ No matter gay, straight, or bi/ Lesbian, transgendered life/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born to survive/ No matter black, white or beige/ Chola or Orient made/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born to be brave."

The music fades out momentarily as Gaga sings a cappella before a synthy organ comes back in and she closes out the song, her voice clear and strong. The song is part gospel for her little monsters (particularly the ones who feel persecuted for their sexuality or other differences) and part funky dance tune that anyone could relate to.
