New Day

[Produced By Kanye West, Ken Lewis, Mike Dean & RZA]

[Intro: Nina Simone & Kanye West]

Yeah, uh

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel

Me and the RZA connect

Breeze driftin' on by

Yeah, me and the RZA connect

Breeze driftin' on by

Uh

It's a new life for me, yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

It's a new life for me, ooh

Uh

And I'm feeling good

Yeah, uh

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

And I'll never let my son have an ego

He'll be nice to everyone wherever we go

I mean, I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people

And I'll never let him leave his college girlfriend

And get caught up with the groupies in the whirlwinds

And I'll never let him ever hit the telethon

I mean, even if people dyin' and the world ends

See, I just want him to have an easy life, not like Yeezy life

Just want him to be someone people like

Don't want him to be hated all the time, judged

Don't be like your daddy that'd never budge

And I'll never let him ever hit a strip club

I learned the hard way, that ain't the place to get love

And I'll never let his mom move to LA

Knowin' she couldn't take the pressure, now we all pray

[Interlude: Nina Simone & JAY-Z]

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by

Breeze driftin' on by

It's a new life for me, yeah

Me and the RZA connect

It's a new life for me, ooh

Me and the RZA connect

And I'm feeling good

Yeah

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]

Sorry, junior, I already ruined ya

'Cause you ain't even alive, paparazzi pursuin' ya

Sins of a father make your life ten times harder

I just wanna take ya to a barber

Bondin' on charters, all the shit that I never did

Teach you good values so you cherish it

Took me twenty-six years to find my path

My only job is cut the time in half

So at thirteen, we'll have our first drink together

Black bar mitzvahs, mazel tov, mogul talk

Look a man dead in his eyes

So he know you talk truth when you speak it

Give your word, keep it

And if the day comes I only see him on the weekend

I just pray we was in love on the night that we conceived him

Promise to never leave him even if his mama tweakin'

'Cause my dad left me and I promise never repeat him

Never repeat him, never repeat him

[Outro: Nina Simone]

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by

Breeze driftin' on by

It's a new life for me, yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

It's a new life for me, ooh

And I'm feeling good

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel

It's a new life for me, yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

It's a new life for me, ooh

And I'm feeling

Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel
