Life movie - New Day lyrics
rate meSong by Wyclef Jean<br /><br>
What we gon' do right now is go back, way back<br>
Bring in the groove<br>
<br>
I wanna dedicate this to those who never made it<br>
From kindergarten to the 12th I never graduated<br>
Yo but college wasn't for some of us<br>
So we joined the service<br>
I seen a kid get murdered in Nam listening to Elvis<br>
But on the out looking in<br>
Things stay the same<br>
But at the same vein<br>
Looking out the whole world's changed<br>
So keep your head up<br>
Don't get caught up in the fast bucks<br>
And find your mom crying while your lying in a black tux<br>
Trust me<br>
<br>
We don't need no education says a young man<br>
Sitting in class (sitting in class)<br>
School is out 3 o'clock on the dot<br>
He had beef with some kids and he got shot, oh Lord<br>
<br>
Turn on the television<br>
I'm watching Martin Luther King who had a dream, oh<br>
So take this dream and apply it to your life<br>
Even though we know the ghetto's rough<br>
But we got to<br>
<br>
[1] - Keep your head up<br>
(Uh keep your head up)<br>
Cause a new day will come<br>
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)<br>
And look towards the sun<br>
(Look towards the sun)<br>
Even when the darkness shall come<br>
<br>
(Ooh) It's real son<br>
(Ooh) To my people living Life it's real son<br>
<br>
I turn the page<br>
What's the news today<br>
People getting fired, walking on a wire<br>
Looting on the streets cause the kid's gotta eat<br>
Oh, oh turn around and look at the hour glass<br>
I gotta get it straight<br>
Before it's too late<br>
Cause I don't wanna be behind that gates<br>
<br>
Keep your head up<br>
(Uh keep your head up)<br>
Cause a new day will come<br>
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)<br>
And look towards the sun<br>
Even when the darkness shall come<br>
<br>
[2] - All my people in the back<br>
Mama, mama<br>
You know you raised me with no father figure<br>
(Didn't ya)<br>
I wanna take this time to thank you<br>
For giving me life, oh yeah<br>
Mama, mama<br>
You know you raised me with no father figure<br>
