[Verse 1]
AmFirst things first, I'ma say all the words inside my Fhead
I'm fired up and Etired of the way that things have Ambeen, oh-ooh
The way that things have Fbeen, oh-ooh-Eooh
[Verse 2]
AmSecond thing second, don't you tell me what you think that I can Fbe
I'm the one at the Esail, I'm the master of my Amsea, oh-ooh
The master of my Fsea, oh-ooh-Eooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I was Ambroken from a young age, taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my Fpoems for the few, that looked at me, Etook to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from Amheartache, from the pain, take up my message from the veins
                                             F                   EN.C.

AmThird things third, send a prayer to the ones up aFbove
All the hate that you've Eheard has turned your spirit to a Amdove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up aFbove, oh-ooh-Eooh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I was Amchoking in the crowd, building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like Fashes to the ground, hoping my Efeelings, they would drown
But they Amnever did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited
                                             F       EN.C.
Till it broke open and rained down, it rained down, like...

My life, my love, my drive, they came from...

AmLast things last, by the grace of the fire and the Fflames
You're the face of the Efuture, the blood in my Amveins, oh-ooh
The blood in my Fveins, oh-ooh-Eooh
