50 CENT - New Day lyrics

rate me

[Intro]

It don’t take much strength to pull a trigger

But try to get up every morning day after day and work for a living

Let’s see ‘em try that

Then we’ll see who’s the real tough guy

The working man is a tough guy

[Hook: Alicia Keys]

Party people say, party people say

Ay it’s a new day, it’s a new day

World is gettin’ ready, everybody’s ready, yeah!

For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say

A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Aye

[Verse 1: Dr Dre]

I woke up this morning thinking ’bout the old me

When I was feeling like, Miller Lite and OE

But now I ride on some conscious shit

I’m getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments

Only one I can have a problem with is myself

It’s probably why my only competition is myself

From today to tomorrow

The Doctor just rock to the same drum

Fuck the past, though I ain’t forgot where I came from

I got the club rockin’, uh

I got your girl jockin, uh

Me and Fif’ still in this bitch, bitch

We going the distance with you party people come’on

[Hook]

[Verse 2: 50 Cent]

Now you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better

Or push the door on the liquor store, see where it get ya

But me I got to be on top

I said me I get to be on top

I got the street on lock

I’m on automatic pilot, ain't nobody stopping me

Growing up in poverty ain't filled my heart with larceny

Niggas ride, I don’t hide, I dump to get 'em off of me

I’m a leader, ? natural born boss of me

They from Bel Air, I’m from the bottom

Soon as I spot ‘em I get to drop ‘em

I got ‘em I cut my piece and I dot ‘em

It’s dinner time when the 9 come out

It’s off the chain off, offa the brain move

Bang, off with ya brain

[Hook]

[Bridge: Alicia Keys]

Clocks on the wall

It’s now or never at all

I’m gonna give it my all, oh-oooh

Whether I rise or fall, oh-oooh

[Verse 3: 50 Cent]

True story, I said I’d get rich or die trying

I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine

Nothing matters but the music, music my first love

We paper chasin’, I’m always coming in first, cuz

I’m built for it, see I’m better under pressure

I react like a maniac when I’m coming to get ya

I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching

Fuck that, losing ain't an option

I’m sharp I’m on point

The ink from my ballpoint

Throwing out my pain

I’m back on my A-game

I’m focused, for me this is just another victory

Except that I’m stronger than an ox now mentally

[Hook]
