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

Second thing
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... (in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder)

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
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, you 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
Run me like a racehorse
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, you 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

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Whatever it takes
You break me down, you 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
