Na, na, nai

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, play list, 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 then you'll find
There's more to life than 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 understand why I sing this song
It's all 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 then you'll find
There's more to life than 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
Be'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 plates
Be it now, we're grindin' an' washin' for like thirty 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
