[Intro] Ninja? You're a ninja? Get out of here, you're a ninja? Yes, I am a ninja
[Bridge: David Myles] 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
[Verse 1: Classified] 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 fishing 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 hitting 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 making 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 Taking 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
[Bridge: David Myles] 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
[Chorus: David Myles] Nobody's gonna see me coming Nobody's gonna hear a sound No matter how hard they trying No stopping me since I've found My inner ninja My inner ninja My inner ninja My inner ninja
[Verse 2: Classified] 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 & clowned We all got problems, but we deal though I'm trying to do better now, find my inner peace Learn my art form, and find my inner chi When my back's 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 running outta air and your breath won't come And you (uh) wheezing, gotta keep it moving Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it
[Bridge 2: David Myles] I've had bad habits but 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 Nobody's gonna see me coming Nobody's gonna hear a sound No matter how hard they trying Nobody's gonna bring me down
[Chorus: David Myles] Nobody's gonna see me coming Nobody's gonna hear a sound No matter how hard they trying No stopping me since I've found My inner ninja My inner ninja My inner ninja My inner ninja
[Bridge 2: David Myles] I've had bad habits but 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 Nobody's gonna see me coming Nobody's gonna hear a sound No matter how hard they trying Nobody's gonna bring me down
