Brand New Day - Merkules

Hook:

We up now, but we was down or at the bottom

You could hear my stomach rumble, mufucka 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

Yuh, I was raised with the gorillas, shit 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 shit

I knew I had a bigger purpose, I was outta that bitch

Scribble my thoughts down on paper, writin' powerful shit

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

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

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 shit, 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 shit, but it’s because they not on the list

Pardon my French, but it’d be nice if you could hop off my dick

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
