Brand New Day

(الألبوم: Special Occasion - 2019)

We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, mufucka I was starving
I knew we'd find a way out though regardless
I've been staring out the window and I'm smoking by the carton
Smoking, sipping, overthinking, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one's listening, so I'm tripping, but no matter what I still get paid

Yuh, I was raised with the gorillas, shit changed with the fame
But I remained and still the realest
I've been going thru the pain, but I don't need no pain killers
I just take it on the chin, I ain't a slave to no prescription
Dropped out in grade 10 and I ain't proud of that shit
I knew I had a bigger purpose, I was outta that bitch
Scribble my thoughts down on paper, writing powerful shit
Who woulda known that that's the reason I was bout to get rich
You feel me, yeah, I'm thinking back on who I used to be
Before I ever could afford all this jewelry
Looking back at old pictures thinking who is he?
But I admit I'm way fonder of the newer me
You sell your soul for some Spotify streams
So they see me as a target, they don't got 'em like me
I had three albums out by the time I was nineteen
I'm a product of my hustle, I am not a hype beast, that's y'all

We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, mufucka I was starving
I knew we'd find a way out though regardless
I've been staring out the window and I'm smoking by the carton
Smoking, sipping, overthinking, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one's listening, so I'm tripping, but no matter what I still get paid

The beat dropped and now I'm liable to kill it
In a battle by myself and it's like I've been playing scrimmage
Been defying all the physics thru the power of my lyrics
They've been sour, I can feel it, they know I will never give in
Turn these hours into minutes I've been putting in the labor
Talk behind my back, but never look me in the face though
Back in '09 I was cooking up with Nato
Now I'm rich off of this rap shit, they book me in the place [?]
The tax man calling, he been looking at the payroll
Got regrets from my past, but they shouldn't be this painful
Now ever y time I take my shot I know I'm not gonna miss
I know they hate to see me winning, that was not my intent
I hear ' em talking they shit, but it's because they not on the list
Pardon my French, but it'd be nice if you could hop off my dick
By this time next year, I'll say I bought my first crib
Which is ironic cause the scene better cough up the rent
Now I'm the landlord

We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, mufucka I was starving
I knew we'd find a way out though regardless
I've been staring out the window and I'm smoking by the carton
Smoking, sipping, overthinking, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one's listening, so I'm tripping, but no matter what I still get paid
