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 | |
[4x] | My inner ninja |
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 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 | |
[4x] | My inner ninja |
I've had bad habits but I dropped em, I dropped em | |
I've had opponents but I knocked them out | |
I climbed the highest mountains | |
I swum the coldest seas | |
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me | |
– Man, that was dope! | |
– You think? | |
– What're you, like, a third degree black belt? | |
– Actually, I'm not even in karate but I've found... my inner ninja! |
