New Life

[Verse 1: Akon] I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life And I don't wanna go back Never go back to where I was God changed my way Gave me a new heart And I'll never be the same again And you have my devotion forever It's amazing that nothing would ever Separate me from His love My Creator from above [Pre-Chorus] Who gave us life Who gave us life Who gave us life, yeah Gave us life and that's why... [Chorus] I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life [Verse 2: Akon] Now, no stress, no strain No pain, no gain No, I'm not who I was I'm not the same And you're not to blame, no Now, I don't complain And from my past show no shame, no 'Cause we all been down that road before Hoping one day we will explore What's behind the golden door They say your friends ain't family You're lost along the way, how can it be? That you're here today and not tomorrow Nothing is here for certain, yes, that breath you take is borrowed [Pre-Chorus] That's right He gave us life He gave us life, yeah Gave us life and that's why... [Chorus] I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life [Verse 3: Mali Music, Akon] It's probably you, you already made up your mind You ain't seeing nothing because you already know All about this business singing to you You pray before you eat You rock your Jesus piece, you're spiritual (spiritual) You heard it all, you've seen it all, you know it all You go to church sometimes or you heard the stories before (Oooh) Well, that's all good, 'cause all I'm suggesting is that you get to know the Lord [Chorus] I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life I got my back to the wall Hands to the sky Tryna do right I got a new life I got a new life
