Let me take you back to the days when I was a little kid

 And the fires of life were my innocence For a bed that dried me in that boiling water

 Scorching my skin, burn from the ways that hit Come the cops, now where my story begins

 My mama cried tears from her soul Pain so deep the scar never got old

 But I ain't no victim, I rose And turned that tragedy into gold

 Baptized

 I screamed so loud, start blacking out My dad panicked and started freaking out

 After he saw the bathtub full of blood he pulled me out

 After that rain he picked up the phone and started to doubt

 My dad's eyes filled with tears, knew he messed up

 A new father without a father, knew he messed up

 The cops burst in, said it was negligence They had my dad in cuffs, quickly my mom stepped in

 Burned but undrunken Scar's just a token of the battles I fought

 Words left unspoken

 Baptized in that falling, falling fire down below, yeah

 Baptized

 Baptized

 Baptized

 Baptized

 Baptized

 Baptized

 I looked my father deep in the eyes As I felt the temperature rise

 As he lowered me into the water Felt like rain
