[Intro]
Yeah
Carved in stone
Blood oath
Listen
[Verse 1]
I was down bad, face in the dirt
Laugh in my face, say I ain’t worth work
I just bit down, taste iron and earth
Turn that pain to a promise, that’s birth
Scar on my lip from the words I spit
“I don’t quit” written under my skin
They point fingers, I point to my chest
Say it with my whole breath, beat in my fist
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna run away
I never go back on my word
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Etched in every cut and every hurt
I’m not gonna run away
You can throw flames, I won’t burn
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Say what I mean, then watch me confirm (yeah)
[Verse 2]
See the fear in your eyes, I see fuel
Turn doubt into drills, that’s school
Every fall, every bruise, one rule:
Stand back up, stand tall, stay cruel to excuses
Heart like kunai, straight through lies
Old me died, I attended, dry eyes
Future on my back like a clan on my spine
Storm in my lungs every time that I rhyme (hah)
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna run away
I never go back on my word
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Etched in every cut and every hurt
I’m not gonna run away
You can throw flames, I won’t burn
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Say what I mean, then watch me confirm (nindo)
[Bridge]
When it hurts, I double down (double down)
When I’m cursed, I flip it round (flip it round)
If I swear it, then it’s bound
My name, my code, my vow (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna run away
I never go back on my word
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Etched in every cut and every hurt
I’m not gonna run away
You can throw flames, I won’t burn
That’s my nindo, my ninja way
Say what I mean, then watch me confirm (that’s my way)
