[Classified, Matt Mays, JRDN, Joel Plaskett, David Myles - Inner Ninja Retrospected lyrics]
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
Look, 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 if you 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
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 ooh my inner ninja ooh
Yeah, 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 energy
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 never was 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
But, 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 habit's 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 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 ooh my inner ninja ooh
I've had bad habit's 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
Ooh there ain't a thing I've faced that's
Been too much for me
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
Look, 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
