Brand New Day lyrics

Hook:
We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, muf*cka I was starvin’
I knew we’d find a way out though regardless
I’ve been starin’ out the window and I’m smokin’ by the carton
Smokin’, sippin’, overthinkin’, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one’s listenin’, so I’m trippin’ , but no matter what I still get paid

Verse 1:
Yuh, I was raised with the gorillas, sh*t changed with the fame
But I remained and still the realest
I’ve been goin’ thru the pain, but I don’t need no pain killers
I just take it on the chin, I ain’t a slave to no prescription
Dropped out in grade 10 and I ain’t proud of that sh*t
I knew I had a bigger purpose, I was outta that b*tch
Scribble my thoughts down on paper, writin’ powerful sh*t
Who woulda known that that’s the reason I was bout to get rich
You feel me, yeah, I’m thinkin’ back on who I used to be
Before I ever could afford all this jewelry
Lookin’ back at old pictures thinkin’ who is he?
But I admit I’m way fonder of the newer me
You sell your soul for some Spotify streams
So they see me as a target, they don’t got ‘em like me
I had three albums out by the time I was nineteen
I’m a product of my hustle, I am not a hype beast, that’s y’all
Hook:
We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, muf*cka I was starvin’
I knew we’d find a way out though regardless
I’ve been starin’ out the window and I’m smokin’ by the carton
Smokin’, sippin’, overthinkin’, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one’s listenin’, so I’m trippin’ , but no matter what I still get paid

Verse 2:
The beat dropped and now I’m liable to kill it
In a battle by myself and it’s like I’ve been playin’ scrimmage
Been defyin’ all the physics thru the power of my lyrics
They’ve been sour, I can feel it, they know I will never give in
Turn these hours into minutes I’ve been puttin’ in the labor
Talk behind my back, but never look me in the face though
Back in ’09 I was cookin’ up with Nato
Now I’m rich off of this rap sh*t, they book me in the place (?)
The tax man callin’, he been lookin’ at the payroll
Got regrets from my past, but they shouldn’t be this painful
Now ever y time I take my shot I know I’m not gonna miss
I know they hate to see me winnin’, that was not my intent
I hear ‘ em talkin’ they sh*t, but it’s because they not on the list
Pardon my French, but it’d be nice if you could hop off my di*k
By this time next year, I’ll say I bought my first crib
Which is ironic cause the scene better cough up the rent
Now I’m the landlord
Hook:
We up now, but we was down or at the bottom
You could hear my stomach rumble, muf*cka I was starvin’
I knew we’d find a way out though regardless
I’ve been starin’ out the window and I’m smokin’ by the carton
Smokin’, sippin’, overthinkin’, but tomorrow is a brand new day
No one’s listenin’, so I’m trippin’ , but no matter what I still get paid
