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 

Just a young gun with a quick fuse 
I was uptight, wanna let loose 

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 
The master of my sea 

Have a seat in the foyer, take a number 
I was lightning before the thunder 

Whip, whip  [bad word] me like a race horse 
Pull me like a ripcord 
Break me down and build me up 
I wanna be the slip, slip 
Word upon your lip, lip 
Letter that you rip, rip 
Break me down and build me up 

Whatever it takes 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Whatever it takes 
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer 
Whatever it takes 
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins 
Whatever it takes 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Whatever it takes 

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 
Kids were laughing in my classes 
While I was scheming for the masses 

Whip, whip  [bad word] me like a race horse 
Pull me like a ripcord 
Break me down and build me up 
I wanna be the slip, slip 
Word upon your lip, lip 
Letter that you rip, rip 
Break me down and build me up 

Whatever it takes 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Whatever it takes 
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer 
Whatever it takes 
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins 
Whatever it takes 
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer 
Whatever it takes
