[Intro]
Ayo, Kruff, man
What you got for me?
What you got for me, Kruff?
Ready for that heat, bro
[Chorus]
New day
I gotta make sure that I seize it, uh
New page
These haters gon' weep when they read it, uh
New age
Last year was a bitch, but I freaked it
Put it on tape and I leaked it, uh
Hoping that history doesn't repeat it, ayy (Brrr)
[Verse 1]
Fear of God, essentials on me
Put the fear of God into your kin and homies
No kiddin' they fear to be forgotten slowly
Wanna know my story so they plottin' on me
Bro, can you even read-d-d-d-d-d-d?
Skippin' features like a CD-D-D-D-D-D-D
Brought a vision board before I bought a TV
Crash down on these hoes like Santa
Long time since I waved bandana
Might've had to move green like Chloe
Now they hear my voice through antenna, huh
Sorry not sorry though (My bad)
Gang takin' all yo-shi like Mario
Outside your house like garden hose
Pull up on foot like shoot, spray
And I hope you pray 'cause you might not see a…
[Chorus]
New day
I gotta make sure that I seize it, uh
New page
These haters gon' weep when they read it, uh
New age
Last year was a bitch, but I freaked it
Put it on tape and I leaked it, uh
Hoping that history doesn't repeat it, ayy
[Verse 2]
Yesterday was a write-off
I fell right off of my high horse
Into a pool of liquor, now I'm horsed
Eyeballs as red as fireballs
Pause, anyway, life's short
I really can't afford no time off
So when the mornin' comes after the mornin' run
I'm Big Pun like, "Put the fuckin' mic on"
Before I could bet on myself, uh
I had to better myself, uh-uh
I know some people that needed to hear that, they quietly cryin' for help, uh
Music was slow on the sales, uh
Had to go back to retail, uh
I know some people were laughin' at me when they witnessed the trial and fail, uh
I looked to the sky and I yelled, uh
This time I'm givin' them hell, uh
Did so many hits on this record to make sure that I hit it, I hit it right on the nail
Woah, woah
All my life I believed in me
All of them called me naive
That was yesterday they were sleep, uh
(Sleepy, uh)
All my life I've been out of my reach
Sidelines, I was sittin' on seats
Not today, man, we gon' see
[Chorus]
New day
I gotta make sure that I seize it, uh
New page
These haters gon' weep when they read it, uh
New age
Last year was a bitch, but I freaked it
Put it on tape and I leaked it
Hoping that history doesn't repeat it, ayy
Yo
[Bridge]
Yesterday, I was dope (Yeah)
This world's too cold
Everybody so cold
That's why my heart just froze (Yeah)
New day on the rise
New day, new high
New levels, new levels
Think I done forgot how to smile
[Verse 4]
(Yeah)
Truth be told I don't really feel like smilin' today
Woke up I'm amazed that I still haven't made it
Yet I dedicated all of my time, rhymes, melodies and cadences
A slave to this fantasy
In my head that I'ma be
Rich and have as many fans as he or she who came way before me
Before the grave hits, I wanna be one of the greatest
Look who's on my TV
Somebody famous complainin' 'bout celebrity
Aw-ha, boohoo
Would you like a bitch slap with that lack of perspective on reality?
Some days I wake up relentless unyieldin'
Other days wakin' up don't seem appealin'
But I still get up 'cause momma never raised no quitter
I'm a go-getter lookin' forward to a new day
[Verse 5]
New fade, just left the barbershop
Cut through your album roll out like a autobot
Used to daydream out the window of my normal job
Now I'm in the studio, I run it like a mornin' jog
When I was younger I wanted
Big rims, big chain, big crib
Reality was round wine biscuits
Mentality was different I was mischief
Uh, anxiety, I couldn't eat, eat, eat
My dinner was somethin' like Z Z Z
Who got the keys to jeep, jeep, jeep?
Nobody, hot-wired then skeet, skeet, skeet
Park it up (Zoom)
Pull out the stereo, right?
Guess I'm just fittin' the stereotype
Peace to my old ways
Watch me glow, Sun Dial flow it's a…
[Outro]
New day
Woah, woah, woah-woah, woah
Woah-woah, watch, uh
New day
Woah, woah, woah-woah, woah
Woah-woah, watch, uh
New day
Ha, uh, yeah, uh
Yeah
