New Day
50 Cent Lyrics

Party people say, party people say
Acknowledging the participants of the party, the song urges them to cheer together.

Ay it's a new day, it's a new day
The song encourages a fresh start and a new outlook on life.

World is getting ready, everybody ready, yeah!
The world is bracing for change, and people are excited for what's to come.

For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say
A call to celebrate the new beginning and revel in the moment.

I woke up this morning thinking 'bout the old me
Reflecting on past missteps and character flaws.

When I was feeling like Miller Lite and Ol' E
Recalling drinking habits from the past.

But now I ride on some conscious shit
Making a conscious effort to be a better person and make better choices.

I'm getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments
Celebrating the fruits of his labor and basking in his achievements.

Only one I could have a problem with is myself
The only person he has to answer to is himself.

That's probably why my only competition is myself
The desire to constantly better himself and not compete with others.

From today to tomorrow
The commitment to continue growing and evolving even in the future.

The Doc is just rocking the same drum
Staying true to the essence of hip hop.

Fuck the past, though I ain't forgot where I came from
Choosing to focus on the present and future but still honoring his roots.

I got the club rocking, uh
Being the life of the party and making sure everyone is having a good time.

I got your girl jocking, uh
Boasting about his ability to attract the opposite sex.

Me and Fif' still in this bitch, bitch
Both he and his collaborator 50 Cent are still in the game and still relevant.

We going the distance with you party people come on
Asking the party people to join them on their journey.

Now, you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better
Acknowledging the different ways one could choose to improve their situation.

Or push the dough on the liquor store, see where it get ya
Another way to deal with life's difficulties is by self-destructive behavior.

But me, I got to be on top
He has a strong drive to be successful and on top of his game.

I said, me I get to be on top
Reiterating his ambition and his desire to be at the top of his game.

I got the street on lock
Being the boss of the streets and having control over his environment.

I'm on automatic pilot, ain't nobody starting me
Being so confident and successful that he doesn't need anyone else's validation.

Growing up in poverty ain't fill my heart with larceny
Despite coming from a difficult background, he has not turned to a life of crime.

Niggas ride, I don't hide, I dump to get 'em off of me
Being ready to defend himself against anyone who poses a threat to his success.

I'm a leader, look and see the natural born boss of me
Being a natural-born leader and having innate leadership qualities.

They from Bel Air, I'm from the bottom
Comparing his tough upbringing to those who grew up in a more privileged area.

Soon as I spot 'em I get to drop 'em
Being quick to eliminate anyone who threatens him or his success.

I got 'em the competition, red-dot 'em
Being a fierce competitor and going after his opponents with tenacity.

It's dinner time when the 9 come out
Going after his enemies relentlessly and without mercy.

It's off with the chain, off with the ring
Taking everything his enemy has, including personal belongings.

Move bang, off with ya brain
Being ruthless in his pursuit of victory to the point of violence.

Marks on the wall
Signifying that he's keeping track of his successes.

It's now or never at all
Feeling the pressure to succeed and make the most of his opportunities.

I'm gonna give it my all
Giving his absolute best effort to succeed.

Whether I rise or fall
Being prepared for anything and committing to the pursuit of success no matter the outcome.

True story, I said I'd get rich or die trying
Recounting his claim that he would do anything to be successful.

I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine
Being proud of his success and daring anyone who tries to take it away from him to try and fail.

Nothing matters but the music, music my first love
Being passionate about music and considering it to be his first love ahead of anything else.

We paper chasing, I'm always coming in first, cuz
Being focused on the financial gains of his success and being successful at it.

I'm built for it, see I'm better under pressure
Thriving under pressure and being well-suited for the demands of success.

I react like a maniac when I'm coming to get ya
Being fierce and aggressive when it comes to success.

I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching
Being driven to succeed for himself and for those who look up to him.

Fuck that, losing ain't an option
Being completely committed to winning and refusing to accept failure.

I'm sharp I'm on point
Being focused and being ready to seize any opportunities that come his way.

The ink from my ballpoint
Referencing his writing process and the connection between his success and the art of songwriting.

Throwing out my pain
Using his music as a way of coping with pain and suffering in his life.

I'm back on my A-game
Being fully committed to success and feeling like he's at the top of his game.

I'm focused, for me this is just another victory
Being so accustomed to success that it feels like just another win.

Except that I'm stronger than an ox now mentally
Feeling mentally tough and able to handle any challenges that come his way.

Party people say, party people say
The song ends with another call to party and celebrate.

Ay it's a new day, it's a new day
Reiterating the idea of a fresh start and a new beginning.

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

For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say
Another call to celebrate and enjoy the moment.
