[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
[PreChorus]
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache, from the pain

(Pain!) You made me a, you made me a believer

Inhibited, limited till it broke open

(Pain!) Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain!) You made me a, you made me a believer

[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited till it broke open
And rained down
It rained down like
[Chorus]
(Pain!) You made me a, you made me a believer
Believer
(Pain!) You break me down, you build me up, believer
Believer
(Pain!) Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from (Pain!)
You made me a, you made me a believer
