Ft. Ace Hood

(Intro)
That’s why I wake up every mornin'
I grind, stand up and sun down
Wake up knowin' that people expect me to lead ‘em to a win
When times is tough they look at me for answers
Hopin' I can lift ‘em off from their fears and progress
So I grind, Sunday to Monday
Cos they ain’t no role models
They ain’t no true leaders left
So it’s up to me to make sure the world knows that I’m that new guy
I’m that new inspiration
Ivy League, SarkCess Music, Ace Hood, uh

(Verse: Sarkodie)
I’m the new guy
I made it from the slums back in Africa where most of my niggas committed suicide
Every story got a 2 side
T-shirt tryna make it to the suit and tie
Ya know a nigga got to survive, it’s do or die
We got to make it and it’s really up to ya and I
Started from the bottom, nigga really did a lot
So tell me who am I?

Rappers ɛnmovie me nowadays, shutouts to Senavoe
Rap no firi m’anum, pagagagagaga.. sɛ teabɔfrɛ
M’aspeedie flow no from kilo to tonnes
Rap firi America but it truly belongs to the blacks, so I’m free to curse on a song
Fuck around wit me na me de spanner bɛchukie wo lungs

Came from the ghetto, deɛn na mo bɛ kyerɛ me
Me yɛ pabene, my people dey call me Obidiponbidi

(Hook)
That’s why I wake up every mornin'
I grind, stand up and sun down
Wake up knowin' that people expect me to lead ‘em to a win
When times is tough they look at me for answers
Hopin' I can lift ‘em off from their fears and progress
So I grind, Sunday to Monday
I’m that new guy

(Verse 2: Ace Hood)
Yeah, the beast of the South, on my worst-est behavior, don’t make me angrier
Couple shots all in ya dome and that turn ya shit to a stadium
Dr. Martin Luther King got to had a dream nigga
20 bitches in my bed naked counting cheese nigga
Black man in a fuckin' beamer
Got a tipper toein' like a ballerina
Diamonds water water like it's Aquafina
Servin' bitches like the new subpoena
Only pieces on my Cuban chain
Sell ya soul and get the birth of fame
Bought sum' waters wit a broad damage in the stores, damn, not a thing change
Protesters, Cincinnati lesson
Prison cells are gettin' too congested
Righteous livin', fuck a suicide
New guys wearin' suit and ties
Bossin' up instead of talkin' nice
Shootin' guys, prison time
Stackin' money, build an enterprise
Be the one who niggas idolize
Countin' money till my palms hurt
I remember they was way worse
Mama prayin' everyday at church
Being broke in every second hurts
Tryin' to shine boy ya got to grind, and just wait on time
That’s just how it works
Good in the hood wit my street tithes
I can’t say the same for ya new guys

(Hook)

(Verse 3: both)
Ace, let me take ya  to Africa
My people they luv ya 
I came here, ya showed me sum' luv and I promise to build ya a statue, uh!
Ace Hood akwaaba
And Sark is a hell of a nation
M’asigne wo din wɔ Kumasi, mapem so, nyɛ adeɛ a wobɛhia confirmation
uhh, Sark medaase
I’m the new Pac in the projects
Welcome Sarkodi, the United States where they sellin' narcotics
It’s a pleasure my nigga
Now let’s go and get the money bags
Haters hatin', they will neva last
Came too far and we ain’t lookin' back

(Hook)
