[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


[Hook]

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 (x4)


[Verse 2: Mike Posner]

Alright

I'm just feeling like this all year

All these kids used to call me weird

I wish they could just reappear

I wish they could just see me here

You know cause I'm fightin' for my inner, inner

You can never stop me, I'm a winner winner

Couple beats in my backpack

Turn them into plat plaques

And you know, poof, dinner, dinner

Remember back in '09 Kanye told me that my demo was whack (Oh no)

Two years later, Kanye told me that my new shit was dope

And that's because it is, I handled all my biz

A little less eyes, baby

Little more years

Takes a little practice to do it like this

This is in my mind, homie

Run that shit


[Bridge 2: Mike Posner]

I had bad habits but I dropped them

I had opponents, but I knocked them out

I climbed the highest mountain

Swam across the coldest sea

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


[Hook]

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 (x4)


[Bridge 2: Mike Posner]

I had bad habits but I dropped them

I had opponents, but I knocked them out

I climbed the highest mountain

Swam across the coldest sea

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

My inner ninja
