First things first 
I'ma say all the words inside my head 
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh 
The way that things have been, oh-ooh 
Second thing second 
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be 
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh 
The master of my sea, oh-ooh 

I was broken from a young age 
Taking my soul into the masses 
Write down my poems for the few 
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me 
Singing from heart ache from the pain 
Take up my message from the veins 
Speaking my lesson from the brain 
Seeing the beauty through the... 

Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Pain! 
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer 
Pain! 
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain 
My luck, my love, my God, they came from... 
Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 

Third things third 
Send a prayer to the ones up above 
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh 
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh 

I was choking in the crowd 
Living my brain up in the cloud 
Falling like ashes to the ground 
Hoping my feelings, they would drown 
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing 
Inhibited, limited 
Till it broke up and it rained down 
It rained down, like... 

Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Pain! 
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer 
Pain! 
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain 
My luck, my love, my God, they came from... 
Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 

Last things last 
By the grace of the fire and the flames 
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh 
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh 
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing 
Inhibited, limited 
Till it broke up and it rained down 
It rained down, like... 

Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Pain! 
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer 
Pain! 
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain 
My luck, my love, my God, they came from... 
Pain! 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
