[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)
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulkin' to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook at me, feelin' me
Singing from heartache, from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

[Chorus]
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain, oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
[Verse 2]
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 above, oh (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I was chokin' in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down like...

[Chorus]
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain, oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

[Bridge]
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins (Ooh)
The blood in my veins (Ooh)
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down like...
[Chorus]
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain, oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
