  • N-Dubz N-Dubz
    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 Writer/s: COSTADINOS CONTOSTAVLOS, FRASER LANCE THORNEYCROFT SMITH, KANE BRETT ROBINSON, RICHARD RAWSON, TULA PAULINEA CONTOSTAVLOS
