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
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
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
My inner ninja
My inner ninja
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
My inner ninja
My inner ninja
My inner ninja
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
My inner ninja
