New Day
50 Cent/Dr. Dre/Alicia Keys Lyrics

Party people say, party people say
People at a party or gathering are repeating the following

Ay it's a new day, it's a new day
Hey, today is a brand new day and we should be celebrating it

World is getting ready, everybody ready, yeah!
The world is preparing for what's to come, and everyone is excited and eager

For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say
Let's take this opportunity to celebrate the fact that it's a new day and start fresh

I woke up this morning thinking 'bout the old me
I started the day reflecting on who I used to be

When I was feeling like Miller Lite and Ol' E
I used to feel like I was stuck between two different worlds

But now I ride on some conscious shit
But now, I am more thoughtful and aware with my actions

I'm getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments
I am successful and am taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate my achievements

Only one I could have a problem with is myself
I am my own biggest obstacle and I acknowledge that

That's probably why my only competition is myself
I compete with myself and strive to be better than I was yesterday

From today to tomorrow
From now on and into the future

The Doc is just rocking the same drum
Dr. Dre is still creating music with the same passion and skill as before

Fuck the past, though I ain't forgot where I came from
I am leaving my past behind but still hold onto my roots and where I came from

I got the club rocking, uh
I have the power to make the club party and dance to my music

I got your girl jocking, uh
I am so attractive and successful that women are chasing after me

Me and Fif' still in this bitch, bitch
50 Cent and I are still relevant and making music

We going the distance with you party people come on
We will keep making music and partying with you all

Now, you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better
You can pray for things to get better or take matters into your own hands

Or push the dough on the liquor store, see where it get ya
Alternatively, you can resort to making money through illegal means and risk the consequences

But me, I got to be on top
As for me, I am striving for success and domination

I said, me I get to be on top
I promised myself that I would be on top and I am fulfilling that promise

I got the street on lock
I am the king of the streets and have dominance over it

I'm on automatic pilot, ain't nobody starting me
I am so focused and driven that nothing can stop me or get in my way

Growing up in poverty ain't fill my heart with larceny
Despite growing up poor, I have not become a criminal or turned to illegal means to make money

Niggas ride, I don't hide, I dump to get 'em off of me
If someone is coming after me, I will not run or hide, but will fight back to protect myself

I'm a leader, look and see the natural born boss of me
I am a born leader and am meant to lead and dominate

They from Bel Air, I'm from the bottom
Others may come from wealthy and privileged backgrounds, but I came from nothing

Soon as I spot 'em I get to drop 'em
As soon as I see potential competitors, I take them down

I got 'em the competition, red-dot 'em
I have targeted my competition and am going after them

It's dinner time when the 9 come out
When I bring out my weapon, it's time for action and I'm ready to fight

It's off with the chain, off with the ring
If someone is in my way or trying to stop me, I will go to the extreme and take everything from them

Move bang, off with ya brain
I am willing to use violence if necessary to get what I want and take down my competition

Marks on the wall
I am keeping track of my progress and achievements

It's now or never at all
This is the time to act and give it my all

I'm gonna give it my all
I am determined to give it my all and succeed

Whether I rise or fall
Whether I succeed or fail, I will give it everything I have

True story, I said I'd get rich or die trying
This is a true story, and I promised to become rich or die trying

I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine
I have achieved my goal, and those trying to stop me will not succeed

Nothing matters but the music, music my first love
Music is my first love and the most important thing in my life

We paper chasing, I'm always coming in first, cuz
I am constantly chasing money and success, and I am always winning and coming out on top

I'm built for it, see I'm better under pressure
I am made for this lifestyle and am even better at performing under pressure

I react like a maniac when I'm coming to get ya
I become aggressive and unpredictable when I am going after someone or something

I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching
I have to win and prove myself to those who are watching me, including Eminem, Dr. Dre, and my son

Fuck that, losing ain't an option
I am determined to win and losing is not an option for me

I'm sharp I'm on point
I am focused and on top of my game

The ink from my ballpoint
I am constantly writing and creating, using my pen to express my thoughts and ideas

Throwing out my pain
Through my music, I am letting go of my past pain and struggles

I'm back on my A-game
I am at the top of my game and performing my best

I'm focused, for me this is just another victory
I am focused and determined to win, and for me, this is just another achievement to add to my list

Except that I'm stronger than an ox now mentally
But now, I am not only physically strong, but I am also mentally strong and can handle anything that comes my way
