I read the rules before I broke 'em
|
I broke the chains before they choked me out
|
Now I pay close attention
|
Really learn the code
|
I learned to read the map before I hit the road
|
|
Hey yo, I know you never heard this before
|
But I'd rather lose a fight than miss the war
|
And I ain't wishing competition or fishin' for it
|
I'm just living in the system, conditions are poor
|
I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed
|
Too many late nights hittin' the liquor store
|
Too many bad decisions, half assed attempts
|
No sweat, no fear, no blood, no tears
|
I go hard and I ain't makin' up no excuse
|
I'm overdue, I don't do what I'm supposed to do
|
Cause you can think about it man, we're supposed to lose
|
It ain't all picture perfect, ocean views
|
No, I was a first class rookie,
|
Takin' out bullies in my all black hoodie
|
Man of mystery, you know the history
|
Get it or forget it, cause poof, I'm outta here
|
|
I read the rules before I broke 'em
|
I broke the chains before they choked me out
|
And I pay close attention
|
Really learn the code
|
I learned to read the map before I hit the road
|
|
(But we say)
|
|
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
|
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
|
No matter how hard they tryin'
|
No stoppin' me since I've found
|
My inner ninja [4x]
|
|
Hey yo, I've been high and I've been real low
|
I've been beaten and broken but I healed though
|
So many ups and downs, roughed up and clowned
|
We all got problems, but we deal though
|
I'm tryin' to do better now, find my inner peace
|
Learn my art form, and find my inner Chi
|
When my backs on the wall, I don't freeze up
|
Nah, I find my inner strength and I re-up
|
Here we go, I know I've never been the smartest or wisest
|
But I realize what it takes
|
Never dwell in the dark cause the sun always rises
|
But gotta make it to the next day
|
It's a feeling that you get in your lungs when you run
|
Like you're runnin' outta air and your breath won't come
|
And you (uh) wheezin', gotta keep it movin'
|
Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it
|
|
I've had bad habits but I dropped em, I dropped em
|
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
|
I've climbed the highest mountains
|
I swum the coldest seas
|
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me
|
|
(but we say)
|
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
|
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
|
No matter how hard they tryin'
|
Nobody's gonna bring me down
|
|
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
|
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
|
No matter how hard they tryin'
|
No stoppin' me since I've found
|
My inner ninja [4x]
|
|
I've had bad habits but I dropped em, I dropped em
|
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
|
I've climbed the highest mountains
|
I swum the coldest seas
|
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me
|
|
My inner ninja!
