New Day

(album: The Journal Of An Evil Genius - 2014)

Look, yo, my mummy come to visit me today and it was strange
Cos we just got on after that I opened up a mango rubicon
Pacing round the living room chilling with my music on
Reminiscing realising that I'm moving on
I took a seat cos I couldn't stand the pressure of
Never knowing if I'll ever get the better of depression
Living in the recession, tryna make an impression in music
They tell me that I'll soon be gone, gone where?
Listen to the realism a connoisseur couldn't taste this pain
Play this game, MC's are chasing fame
While my real life is hotter than a naked flame
I use a burner just to play this game
I keep it buried, so when it's on I'm like the ace of spades
I got a letter all the way from Spain, or Greece or sutting
Telling me to attend a court case but it's a

It's a new dawn, I felt nutting but stress from the day that I was born
It's a new dawn, it's a new day and I'm starting to feel like crime doesn't pay
It's a new dawn, it's coming like the calm before the storm
It's a new dawn, it's a new day and I'm just really tryna wash the stress away

I feel like I should be on the road committing criminal offences
It's 2013 got us under false pretenses
Cos nowadays the pretty girls are all pretentious and the gangbangers look American like this is Memphis
Well I was taught to try and replicate the 90's with the armed robberies the BMW's and Nike's
The gold chains, the hi-tops with the low fades
And I see niggas make them pellets leave the 12 gauge
Now that was my inspiration inspired by the wicked never felt no hesitation
I was tryna be the sickest I nearly become a patient had to crush my alter ego it was destroying relationships with my family
I can still feel the tension they don't know if I had changed or if I'm going through a phase
I put 332 words on to a page this is the journey of an evil genius
Let me explain it's a

It's a new dawn, I felt nutting but stress from the day that I was born
It's a new dawn, it's a new day and I'm starting to feel like crime doesn't pay
It's a new dawn, it's coming like the calm before the storm
It's a new dawn, it's a new day and I'm just really tryna wash the stress away

Yo, I see the world in a different light it's like I'm looking outta different eyes
I wonder if Stevie could see what I'm seeing would he be afraid to stand and sing in front of a stadium
I doubt that, cos that's a legend born to be a winner I was born a sinner
Eating niggas just to have my dinner and I won't consider me or anybody I was with intelligent enough to leave the manor let alone this crib
Climb beyond the ghetto and escape the city that we live
I'm in the capital regular just tryna be the kid to break the mould
Walk down the unbeaten track I'm looking back at my past shouting 'av some of that
On the phone to my lawyers they're dicussing a contract
Who'd have thought Bugzy from the block could ever do that
This is revolutionary I'm a groundbreaker and now the drugs game feeling like slave labour
And I can picture me laughing all the way to the bank forget bank details this is straight paper
My creativities coming like a life jacket cos I can deep sea dive with sutting I made up
I used to 'av to bury the money that I saved up and the girls I was with only pretty with makeup
How did times change? When did we get here? I don't really know if I could even live here
It's a new day
