Dizzee Rascal – Brand New Day Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- 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]
Verse 2
- 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]
Verse 3
- 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
- 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]
