Uh, poetic pain in my veins be I ain't been the same, yeah, He saved me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free Uh, I ain't know about the chains that ain't breakin' See heat on my face, it changed me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free Every night I fill my notes with the tears of a lost soul I ain't been the same since my mama played me gospel Soup kitchen, soul food spittin' apostle Ten-piece choir singin' fire up from the top row I feel like one too many lovers empty alone As we walk this road I know this is the way we supposed to go We go up, my brother, hand in hand to the promised land Holdin' to His promises I balance sins on the scale with accomplishments When I forget it was accomplished, dang And so I give it all to Him Uh, poetic pain in my veins be I ain't been the same, yeah, He saved me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free Uh, I ain't know about the chains that ain't breakin' See heat on my face, it changed me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free Had to take a step back and examine What went wrong, Swaizy? Man, what happened? Did I lose profit and gain pain from this passion? Did I make a way for the stains? I hold tragic What would've happened if I didn't win that contest?

Pray that I'm at least closer to figurin' it out Uh, God, I hope I make it out But I don't hate it, life just sucks when it changes But I'm longin' for the day when the rain clears And I can scream to my mama: We made it! Uh, poetic pain in my veins be I ain't been the same, yeah, He saved me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free Uh, I ain't know about the chains that ain't breakin' See heat on my face, it changed me I been free, yeah Baby, I been free
