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]
