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
