Inner Ninja (Remix)

[Refrain 1: Olly Murs]

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 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 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

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

[Refrain 1: Olly Murs]

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: Olly Murs]

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

[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 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 (ugh) and push your way through it

[Refrain 2: Olly Murs]

I've had bad habits but I dropped 'em, I dropped 'em

I've had opponents but I knocked them out

I've climbed the highest mountains

I swum the coldest seas

There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me

[Chorus: Olly Murs]

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

[Refrain 2: Olly Murs]

I've had bad habits but I dropped 'em, I dropped 'em

I've had opponents but I knocked them out

I've climbed the highest mountains

I swum the coldest seas

There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me

[Outro: Olly Murs]

My inner ninja!
