[English]

First things first, I'm-a 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

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

Taking my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!

Pain!

Pain!

Say, oh...

Pain!

Pain!

I'mma say all...

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 up above, oh-ooh

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

Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain!

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

Pain!

Oh-ooh

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

Taking my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!

Pain!

Pain!

I'mma say all...

Pain!

Pain!

I'mma say all...

First things first, I'm-a say all the words inside my head

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
