Brand New Day

Dizzee Rascal

Verse1:

Looks like i'm loosin friends

There's 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 i'm loosin mates

There's a lot of hostility near my gates

We used 2 fight wid kids 4rm other estates

Now 8 millimetres settle debates

Looks like i'm loosin sight

Coz i'm lookin at the future, it ain't right

So i look out my window, pray every night

I thank God 4 my friends but they ain't tight

Looks like i'm loosin hope

Coz i climbed dis mountain widout rope

But i know i'm 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, don't insult my intellect x2



Verse2:

When we ain't 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 ain't kids no more

Will it still be about wot is rite now

Like backscams, street robbery

Shottas, plottas or HMP

When we ain't 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 ain't 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, don't insult my intellect -x2



Verse3:

When i look at my life i can't 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 can't help but feel

I'm 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 can't 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
