The chorus in which Arthur Lee sings "Served my time/Served it well" is actually followed by "You made my soul a cell" (as in prison cell) It's not entirely clear as he sings it, but that's pretty definite as the correct wording, not what is shown in this lyrics version where it says "You made my soul ascend" which is not what he sings.
