New Day Lyrics

Good morning

My first crack is gonna feel like I've done it before
Every track is like I've run it before, this ain't my first
Rodeo cowboy, bebop, I rock steady
Train of thought: I'd even rob Thomas…Matchbox Twenty

This is crack rock slap boxing, that's not funny
Jackpot...bitch better have my Money
I see things different then I used to
I mean I've changed, I ain’t Drew like you’re used to

Bubblegum big league niggas getting chewed too
Who's who, what's true is what true do
Now Let the anchor drop...you couldn't understand
What fuels me or how much in the tank i got, thanks a lot

I come from nothing but it’s not where I'm headed
Mediocrity is on the block where I left it
If you don't know the time, check the clock bitch its Seven
Free man escaped the Pitt, what's in the box gets beheaded

John Doe got the upper hand now
Don't know what you Stand for then stand down
What you gonna do when they come for you
And it pans out how you planned out?
Each of us gotta go they own seperate way
And living ain't given, its a loan, gotta pay
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day

My self image is a graphic one, pardon my habits
I'm just having fun, fuck it gonna have it better pass me one
Humbled like gay bashing dad with a faggot son
Backlash hasn't won, cash grab, stack of ones

Fuck what they say, what they pay is more important
I wanna be like Nike you wanna be like Jordan
I wanna be Spike, X, 'cept if he could spit
Matching destinies legit if you object then read a script

Best believe equipments been requested for this mission
I confess the cynicism is the best of ammunition
Pester death with criticism cuz he, blessed me with his vision, yes the
The petulance suggests you've been infected with rhythm

Each of us gotta go they own seperate way
And living ain't given its a loan gotta pay
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day

Your guides don't apply to this game that we play
I can only write the words, I can't Explain what they say
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day
The confidence of a nigga with snipers on the roof
They lost are just pullin triggers while the righteous want the truth
The reason you make a statement seems it might be cuz it's cute but
They pressure I'm savvy with can fit my life into a booth

I'm on time like Winston Wolf, leave you in detention with my principles
Can your x-man can fight a sentinel
Rhetoric, too polite to ever spit ya genitals
Seem to be contained within a terror grip, you're minimal

Words, yeah I'm clever with Madden’ed at the Rookies, Pro's and Veterans
Broken ass game that they left me with
Bro told me to represent if ever lit
Told me I Could break the edifice with intelligence

I told him "I'm presumed benevolent cuz I know Oedipus
Before you broadcast you must be certain what the message is"
Time and place, and the clock hasn't yet struck midnight
Rest assured you can't topple war ships with fist fights

Crazy on this level cuz, it’s so easy to level up
See what writing Words to synchronize with bass and treble does?
Grew so weary putting faith in promises that never was
Why are we so arrogant we grow apart but never up?

Man...I've identified a pattern
Dos’ part it’s "thumbs up” I’m trying to hitch a ride to saturn
Don't panic...it’s rule number one
The damage, yeah I planned it and it’s only just begun
Each of us gotta go they own seperate way
And living ain't given its a loan gotta pay
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day

Your guides don't apply to the game that we play
I can only write the words can't Explain what they say
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day

A new day

Goodnight

About

Genius Annotation

New Day is an announcement to the world that “your guides don’t apply to this game that we play.” This record is a statement that previously held beliefs are no longer valid. This is Eli urging everyone to take a long hard look at themselves and the ideas they subscribe to and be honest about whether they truly hold weight or not. The New Day mantra stems from Eli’s personal journey from a structured life pre-determined by the status quo to one dedicated to finding meaning and truth by shedding all fear of the unknown.
