Looks like iīm loosin friends
Thereīs a lot of hostility in my endz
We used 2 argue, always make other new friends
Now we settle disagreements with the skenz
Looks like iīm loosin mates
Thereīs a lot of hostility near my gates
We used 2 fight wid kids 4rm other estates
Now 8 millimetres settle debates
Looks like iīm loosin sight
Coz iīm lookin at the future, it ainīt right
So i look out my window, pray every night
I thank God 4 my friends but they ainīt tight
Looks like iīm loosin hope
Coz i climbed dis mountain widout rope
But i know iīm the captain of my boat
So i steadily sail and hope not 2 float
[Chorus:]
But its a Brand New Day
New opportunities, wot can i say
I plan 2 make my pay
But put sum away 4 an offkey day - [x2]
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, donīt insult my intellect [x2]
[Verse 2:]
When we ainīt kids no more
Will it still be about wot it is rite now
Like fightin 4 anything, anytime
And actin widout a care anywhere
When we ainīt kids no more
Will it still be about wot is rite now
Like backscams, street robbery
Shottas, plottas or HMP
When we ainīt kids no more
Will it still be about wot it is rite now
Pregnant girls who think they luv
Useless mans wid no plans
When we ainīt kids no more
Will it still be about wot it is rite now
Coz negative signs jus keep showin up
Sum of us betta jus start growin up
[Chorus:]
But its a Brand New Day
New opportunities, wot can i say
I plan 2 make my pay
But put sum away 4 an offkey day - [x2]
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, donīt insult my intellect - [x2]
[Verse 3:]
When i look at my life i canīt help but think
Coz i could hav resorted 2 drugs and drink
Everyday was the same as the day b4
We were neva quite sure of wots in store
Everyday i wke up i canīt help but feel
Iīm certain of life, i mean dis is real
Mouthfuls skippin round my head like dancers
I know its wrong 2 question but i need answers
Da whos, da wots, da hows, da whens, da whys
U can look in my face, u c da pain in my eyes
Tears ready 2 fall like the rain in the skies
But i hope dat i put my feet down and rise
Coz guys wanna test my words
So i canīt jus cater 4 2nd and 3rd
Plus i know predators only go 4 the weak
And dats long so i gotta stay strong
Get me !
[Chorus]
