First thing's first: I'mma say all the words inside my head
 I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been
 Oh, Oooo
 The way that things have been
 Oh, Oooo

 Second thing's 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, Oooo
 The master of my sea
 Oh, Oooo

 I was broken from a young age
 Taking my sulking to the masses
 Writing my poems for the few
 That look at me, took from me, shook at me, feelin' me
 Singin' from heartache from the pain
 Takin' my message from the veins
 Speakin' my lesson from the brain
 Seein' the beauty through the

 Pain
 You make a, you make a believer
 Believer
 Pain
 You break me down and build me up, believer
 Believer
 Pain
 Let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
 My luck, my love, my god they came from
 Pain
 You make me a, you make me a believer
 Believer

 Third thing's third: send a prayer to the ones up above
 All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove
 Oh, Oooo
 Your spirit up above
 Oh, Oooo

 I was chokin' in the ground
 Buildin' my rain up in the cloud
 Fallin' 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
 It rained down
 It rained down
 Like

 Pain
 You make a, you make a believer
 Believer
 Pain
 You break me down and build me up, believer
 Believer
 Pain
 Let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
 My luck, my love, my god they came from
 Pain
 You make me a, you make a believer
 Believer

 Last thing's last: by the grace of the fire and the flames
 You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins
 Oh, Oooo
 The blood in my veins
 Oh, Oooo

 But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
 Inhibited, limited, 'til it broke open
 It rained down
 It rained down
 Like

 Pain
 You make me, you make a believer
 Believer
 Pain
 You break me down, and build me up, believer
 Believer
 Pain
 Let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
 My life, my love, my job, they come from
 Pain
 You make me a, you make me a believer
 Believer
