New Day (feat. Dr. Dre & Alicia Keys)

It don't take much strength to pull a trigger But try and get up every morning Day after day and work for a living Let's see 'em try that Then we'll see who's the real tough guy The working man is a tough guy Party people say, party people say, ay It's a new day, it's a new day World is gettin' ready, everybody ready, yeah For a new day, for a new day Celebrate and say Ay, ay, ay, ay... I woke up this morning thinking 'bout the old me When I was feeling like, Miller Lite and OE But now I ride on some conscious shit I'm getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments Only one I can have a problem with is myself It's probably why my only competition is myself From today to tomorrow, the Doctor just rockin' the same drum Fuck the past, though I ain't forgot where I came from Uh, I got the club rockin', uh I got your girl jockin', uh Me and Fif' still in this bitch, bitch We goin' the distance with you party people, come on Party people say, party people say, ay It's a new day, it's a new day World is gettin' ready, everybody ready, yeah For a new day, for a new day Celebrate and say Ay, ay, ay, ay... Now you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better Or push the door on the liquor store, see where it gets ya But me I got to be on top, I said me I get to be on top I got the street on lock I'm on automatic pilot, ain't nobody stopping me Growing up in poverty ain't filled my heart with larceny Niggas ride, I don't hide, I dump to get 'em off of me I'm a leader, look and see, the natural born boss of me They from Bel Air, I'm from the bottom Soon as I spot 'em I get to drop 'em I got 'em, I cut my piece and red-dot 'em It's dinner time when the 9 come out It's off with the chain, off with the brain Move back, off with your brain Party people say, party people say, ay It's a new day, it's a new day World is gettin' ready, everybody ready, yeah For a new day, for a new day Celebrate and say Ay, ay, ay, ay...
