Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One day I had to punch up this one yute for tryna make a fool of me
In my hood there's only so many opportunities
Look, I carry a tool for my pride and my jewelry
Now I find myself stuck servin' the community
[Verse 2]
See me, I made a change, I didn't expect no fame
We came from practically nothing to thousands screamin' our name
A-list, play list, even my mom famous
I would do anything for some source of stadium status
[Verse 3]
See, the thing about life is that it's, it's just too short
Leave the best behind and only then you'll find
There's more to life than you first thought
[Verse 4]
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
See, I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I could face this weather
But life, it will only get better, trust me, it'll only get better
[Verse 5]
Goin' back to when I was young and I
Treated life like it would never end
But then I grew up, got a little clued up
Then N-Dubz blew up, finally on my way
[Verse 6]
'Cause if you knew where I come from
You would understand why I sing this song
Its are changer, yeah, I put my hand up
In fact it made me man up and finally make a change
[Verse 7]
See, the thing about life is that it's, it's just too short
Leave the best behind and only then you'll find
There's more to life than you first thought
[Verse 8]
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
See, I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I could face this weather
But life, it will only get better, trust me, it'll only get better
[Verse 9]
'Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this, ever wanna sing this song again
And I, I don't wanna walk this road again
And I don't have to be alone again
I can hold my head high, I'm strong again, I'm strong again
[Verse 10]
Money made no change, if fact it was more pain
B's gone, who's to blame? Look at all these youths today
Rollin' round with 38's, stickin' Brenda's for the white
Gold chains like, look I didn't mean to hurt you, mate
[Verse 11]
Back in the day I used to roll with like thirty mates
Never had clean money, always had dirty plates
Be it now, we're grindin', washin' for like thirty days
Now we make these animals ragin' like three days
[Verse 12]
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better
See, I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I could face this weather
But life, it will only get better, trust me, it'll only get better
[Verse 13]
'Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this, ever wanna sing this song again
And I, I don't wanna walk this road again
And I don't have to be alone again
I can hold my head high, I'm strong again, I'm strong again
