Inner Ninja (feat. Olly Murs) [Remix]

I read the rules before I broke 'em

I broke the chains before they choked me out

And I paid close attention, really learned 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, uh

And I ain't wishing competition or fishing for it, ah

I'm just living in a system, conditions are poor, yeah

I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed, uh

Too many late nights hitting the liquor store, yeah

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

Nope, 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

I read the rules before I broke 'em

I broke the chains before they choked me out

And I paid close attention, really learned the code

I learned to read the map before I hit the road

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

Hey, yo, I've been high, and I've been real low, yeah

I've been beaten and broken, but I heal, though

So many ups and downs, roughed up and 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 never been the smartest or wisest

But I realized 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 running out of air and your breath won't come

And you, ah, wheezing, gotta keep it moving

Find an extra uh, and push your way through it

I've had bad habits but I dropped 'em

I've had opponents but I knocked them out

I've climbed the highest mountains, I've swum the coldest seas

There ain't nothing I've faced that's been too much for me

Uh, yeah, lemme hear you say

Nobody's gonna see me coming

Nobody's gonna hear a sound

No matter how hard they trying

Nobody's gonna bring me down

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

Breakdown

I've had bad habits but I dropped 'em

I've had opponents but I knocked them out (Pa-pow)

I've climbed the highest mountains, I've swum the coldest seas

There ain't nothing I've faced that's been too much for me

My inner ninja
