Intro (Spoken)
Ayo… real quick—
If you woke up tomorrow as a 6-foot talking turtle…
What’s your first move?
…Yeah, exactly.
⸻
Verse 1
Woke up in a sewer, I’m confused, what’s the deal?
Smell hit my nose like “this can’t be real”
Looked in the water—reflection was green
I said “hold up… why I look like a lean, mean machine?”
Got a shell on my back, I’m built like a tank
No shirt, no shoes, but I’m somehow rank
Then a voice said “son, you must now train”
Turned around—rat in a robe explaining pain
I said “nah, this a dream, I’m going back to sleep”
He said “grab that staff, boy, your stance is weak”
Now I’m sparring at 6 AM with a sensei rat
Lowkey though… he kinda spitting facts
⸻
Hook
Shell shocked lifestyle, living underground
No sunlight, just the city sound
Pizza every night, yeah we don’t slow down
If you hear “cowabunga,” better not stick around
Shell shocked lifestyle, ninja on the grind
Four brothers with a mission and a sewer state of mind
Saving the world but we still clown
Yeah we heroes… but we fool around
⸻
Verse 2
Met the crew, they all got different vibes
One dude serious like he reading self-help guides
One cracking jokes like life’s a meme
One building tech like a genius machine
And one just mad… like all the time
I said “bro, who hurt you?” he said “life.” I said “fine.”
We eating pizza like it’s daily nutrition
No veggies, just cheese—that’s peak condition
Got a call, city in danger again
Man we just sat down, can we chill for ten?
But nah, time to go, grab the weapons and bounce
I ain’t even digest my third slice
⸻
Hook
Shell shocked lifestyle, living underground
Dodging every villain trying to shut us down
Midnight fights while the world asleep
Meanwhile I just wanna nap for a week
⸻
Verse 3
Pulled up on a rooftop, moonlight glow
I said “this kinda peaceful,” they said “ready? go.”
Next thing I know I’m flipping through the air
I ain’t trained for this—I’m just out here scared
Dude in armor shows up looking extra dramatic
Got blades everywhere, man this dude problematic
I’m like “can we talk this out, maybe grab a slice?”
He said “no.” I said “dang… okay, not nice.”
We fighting on rooftops, crashing through glass
I slipped on a pipe, fell straight on my ass. That
Still got up like “I meant to do that move”
Confidence high even when I don’t improve
⸻
Bridge
Honestly…
These dudes making it look too easy
I’m over here breathing heavy after one jump
They like “focus your mind”
I’m like “I’m focused on lunch”
⸻
Verse 4
Finally back home, I collapse on the floor
They like “good work team,” I’m like “I can’t no more”
Pizza box open, that’s my reward
Living that ninja life… but I’m constantly sore
Thinking ‘bout my old life, regular dude
Now I’m dodging ninjas and eating fast food
Lowkey though… it’s kinda tight
No bills, no emails, just fight every night
If this is a dream, don’t wake me yet
Even with the danger, I ain’t got regrets
Yeah it’s chaotic, yeah it’s wild
But I’m a ninja turtle… that’s a flex,
