1st things, 1st, I'm say
All the words inside my head.
I'm fired-up 'n' tired of the way
That things've been, ooh!
The way that things've been, ooh!
2nd things, 2nd, don't u tell me
What u think that I could be.
I'm the 1 at the sail,
I'm the master of my Sea, ooh!
The master of my Sea, ooh!
I was broken from a young age.
Takin' my sulkin' to the masses,
Writin' my poems 4the few
That look at me, took to me,
Shook to me, feelin' me.
Singin' from heartache, from the pain.
Takin' my message from the veins,
Speakin' my lesson from the brain,
Seein' the beauty 'thru the...
...Pain!
U made me a, u made me a believer!
Pain! U break me down, u build me up believer!
Pain! Let the bullets fly, let 'em rain!
My life, my love, my drive — it came from pain!
U made me a, u made me a believer!
3rd things, 3rd, send a prayer
To the ones up above.
All the hate that u've heard
Has turned your spirit to a dove, ooh!
Your spirit up above, ooh!
I was chokin' in the crowd,
Buildin' my rain up in the cloud,
Fallin' like ashes to the ground,
Hopin' my feelings,
They would drown.
But they never did,
Ever lived ebbin', flowin'.
Inhibited, limited 'till it broke-open
'N rained-down. It rained-down like...
...Pain!
//
Last things, last,
By the Grace of the fire 'n' the flames
U're the face of the future
The blood in my veins, ooh!
The blood in my veins, ooh!
