Brand New Day [Live]

Looks like I'm losin' friends There's a lot of hostility in my ends We used to argue, always make common 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 to fight wid kids from other estates Now 8 millimeters settle debates Looks like I'm loosin' sight 'Cause 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 'Cause I climbed dis mountain without rope But I know I'm the captain of my boat So I steadily sail and hope not to float But it's a brand new day With new opportunities, what can I say? I plan to make my pay But put sum away for an off key day But it's a brand new day With new opportunities, what can I say? I plan to make my pay But put sum away for an off key day Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect When we ain't kids no more Will it still be about what it is rite now? Like fightin' for anything, anytime And actin' without a care anywhere When we ain't kids no more Will it still be about what it is rite now? Like back scams, street robbery Shottas, plottas or HMP When we ain't kids no more Will it still be about what it is rite now? Pregnant girls who think they love Useless mans with no plans When we ain't kids no more Will it still be about what it is rite now? 'Cause negative signs just keep showin' up Sum of us betta just start growin' up But it's a brand new day With new opportunities, what can I say? I plan to make my pay But put sum away for an off key day But it's a brand new day With new opportunities, what can I say? I plan to make my pay But put sum away for an off key day Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect When I look at my life I can't help but think 'Cause I could have resorted to drugs and drink Everyday was the same as the day before We were never quite sure of what's in store Everyday I wake 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 it's wrong to question but I need answers Da whos, da whats, da hows, da whens, da whys You can look in my face, you see da pain in my eyes I hope dat I put my feet down and rise 'Cause guys wanna test my words So I can't just cater for 2nd and 3rd Plus I know predators only go for the weak And dat's long so I gotta stay strong Get me But it's a brand new day With new opportunities, what can I say?
