Capo 4

Intro: G Cadd9 Em D 

G 
I read the rules before I broke 'em 

Cadd9                          Em         D 
I broke the chains before they choked me out 

G 
Now I pay close attention, really learn the code 

Cadd9                           Em          D 
I learned to read the map before I hit the road 


G 
I know you never heard this before 

G 
But I'd rather lose a fight than miss the war 

Cadd9 
And I ain't wishing competition or fishin' for it 

         Em                   D 
I'm just living in the system, conditions are poor 

G 
I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed 

G 
Too many late nights hittin' the liquor store 

Cadd9 
Too many bad decisions, half assed attempts 

Em                D 
No sweat, no fear, no blood, no tears 

G 
I go hard and I ain't makin' up no excuse 

G 
I'm overdue, I don't do what I'm supposed to do 

Cadd9 
Cause you can think about it man, we're supposed to lose 

             Em              D 
It ain't all picture perfect, ocean views 

G 
No, I was a first class rookie, 

G 
Takin' out bullies in my all black hoodie 

Cadd9 
Man of mystery, you know the history 

Em                            D 
Get it or forget it, cause poof, I'm outta here 



G 
I read the rules before I broke 'em 

Cadd9                         Em         D 
I broke the chains before they choked me out 

G 
Now I pay close attention, really learn the code 

Cadd9                           Em         D 
I learned to read the map before I hit the road 



G 
Nobody's gonna see me comin' 

G 
Nobody's gonna hear a sound 

Cadd9 
No matter how hard they tryin' 

Em             D 
No stoppin' me since I've found 

(pause) 
My inner ninja 


G Cadd9 D 


G 
I've been high and I've been real low 

G 
I've been beaten and broken but I healed though 

Cadd9 
So many ups and downs, roughed up & clowned 

      Em                   D 
We all got problems, but we deal though 

G 
I'm tryin' to do better now, find my inner peace 

G 
Learn my art form, and find my energy 

Cadd9 
When my backs on the wall, I don't freeze up 

                     Em             D 
Nah, I find my inner strength and I re-up 

Em 
I know I've never been the smartest or wisest 

Cadd9 
But I realize what it takes 

G 
Never dwell in the dark cause the sun always rises 

    D 
But gotta make it to the next day 

       Em 
It's a feeling that you get in your lungs when you run 

Cadd9 
Like you're runnin' outta air and your breath won't come 

G 
And you uh wheezin', gotta keep it movin' 

                D (pause) 
Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it 



G 
I've had bad habits but I dropped em 

Cadd9                   Em           D 
I've had opponents but I knocked them out 

G 
I climbed the highest mountains 

G 
I Swum the coldest seas 

Cadd9                               D 
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me 



G 
Nobody's gonna see me comin' 

G 
Nobody's gonna hear a sound 

Cadd9 
No matter how hard they tryin' 

Em            D 
Nobody's gonna bring me down 

G 
Nobody's gonna see me comin' 

G 
Nobody's gonna hear a sound 

Cadd9 
No matter how hard they tryin' 

Em             D 
No stoppin' me since I've found 

(pause) 
My inner ninja
