One day I had to punch up this one youth for trying to make a fool of me
In my hood there's only so many opportunities
Look I carry a tool for my pride and my jewelry
Now I find myself stuck serving the community
See me I made a change
I didn't expect no fame
We came from practically nothing to thousands screaming our name
A-list, playlist. even my mum's famous
I would do anything for some source of stadium status
See the thing about life is that it's
it's just too short
Leave the past behind
and only the you'll find
There's more to life then you first thought
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
See I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that I could face this weather
But life , it will only get better
Trust me, it will only get better
Na, na, nai
Going back to when I was young
and I treated life like it would never end
But then I grew up, got a little clued up
Then N-Dubz blew up finally on my way
Cause if you knew where I come from
You would undestand why I sing this song
It's a changa, yeah, I put my hand up
In fact it made me man up and finally make a change
See the thing about life is that it's
it's just too short
Leave the past behind
and only the you'll find
There's more to life then you first thought
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
See I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that I could face this weather
But life , it will only get better
Trust me, it will only get better
Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this
Ever wanna sing this song again
And I, and I don't wanna walk this road again
And I don't have to be alone again
I can hold my head high
I'm strong again
I'm strong again
Money made no change
in fact it was more pain
B's gone, who's to blame?
Look at all these youths today
rollin' round with 38s
Stickin brothas for the white gold chains like
Look I didn't mean to hurt you mate
Back in the day I used to roll with like thirty mates
Never had clean money
Always had dirty places
Be it now, we're grindin an' washin for like 30 days
Now we make
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that it would ever get better
See I, I never, ever, ever, ever
Thought that I could face this weather
But life , it will only get better
Trust me, it will only get better
Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
Didn't ever wanna sing this
Ever wanna sing this song again
And I, and I don't wanna walk this road again
And I don't have to be alone again
I can hold my head high
I'm strong again
I'm strong again
