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

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
Coz 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 (Just too short) Leave the past behind, and only then you`ll find There`s more to life than you first thought
[Chorus:]
Coz 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 (BOOM!) 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 grinding and washing for like thirty days Now we make...
