[Intro: Dappy, Tulisa, Dappy & Tulisa, Fazer]
Hands up
Hit the brakes
Ah
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Who remembers it?
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Na na nai
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Yo, D-As
Yo
Ah

[Verse 1: Dappy, Dappy & Tulisa]
One day I had to punch up this one yute for tryna make a fool of me
In my hood, there's only so many opportunities
Look, I carry a tool for my pride and my jewellery
Now I find myself stuck servin' the community

[Verse 2: Fazer, Dappy, Fazer & Dappy]
See me, I made a change (Ayy), I didn't expect no fame
We came from practically nothin' to thousands screamin' our name
A-list, playlist, even my mum's famous
I would do anythin' for some sources of stadium status

[Pre-Chorus: Tulisa & Dappy]
See the thing about life is that it's, it's just too short
Leave the pas (Jump)t behind and only then you'll find (Jump)
There's more to life than you first thought (Jump, jump, jump)
[Chorus: Dappy & Tulisa, Fazer]
'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 (Sing along)
See I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I could face this weather
But life, it will only get better (Trust), trust me, it will only get better (Hands up)

[Post-Chorus: Tulisa, Fazer, Dappy]
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Let me hear ya
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Na, na, nai
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Tulisa
Ha

[Verse 3: Tulisa, Tulisa & Dappy]
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

[Verse 4: Dappy, Fazer, Dappy & Tulisa]
Yo, 'cause if you knew where I come from (Ha)
You would understand why I sing this song (Ha)
It's all changa (Yeah), yeah, I put my hand up (Trust)
In fact, it made me man up and finally make a change (Ayy)
[Pre-Chorus: Tulisa, Fazer, Dappy]
See the thing about life is that it's (What?), it's just too short are we enjoyin' ourselves tonight, ladies and gentlemen?
Leave the past behind and only then you'll find
Boys and girls, jump, jump, jump
There's more to life than you first thought

[Chorus: Tulisa, Fazer, Tulisa & Dappy]
'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 (Sing along)
See I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I could face this weather
But life, it will only get better (Uh), trust me, it will only get better (Yo)
'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 (Ayy)
And I (Ayy), 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

[Verse 5: Dappy]
Yo, money made no change, in fact, it was more pain
B's gone, who's to blame? Look at all these yutes today
Rollin' round with .38's, stickin' brothers for the white gold chains like
Pow, look, I didn't mean to hurt you mate

[Verse 6: Fazer, Fazer & Dappy, Fazer, Dappy]
Back in the day, I used to roll with like thirty mates
Never had clean money, always had dirty plates
Bein' out on the grind and watchin' for like thirty days (Oh, oh, jump, ayy)
Now we make the year's annual wage in like thirty days (Oh)
[Chorus: Tulisa, Fazer, Tulisa & Dappy]
'Cause I, I never, ever, ever, ever thought that it would ever get better (Woo, sing along)
'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 (Ayy), 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 (Brap)
