New Day
M.T.L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night, I was riding bit high
Wandered through the city with a girl on my mind
Thought back to that time at the bar
The way you had your eyes on me to get me back to
Your loft, baby, I messed up
Tried to play it cool but that's not what you wanted
Right now I don't want to give up
But I'm facing the fact that you already moved on
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
Can't shake the feeling that
Honey, you don't know
Who I am
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
Can't shake the feeling that
You don't want to know
Who I am
New dawn, new day, babe
Moved on
I'm ready to play
When the thought of you comes around
You tease me to the point I pray
Take me down to where I wanna be
Let me ravish you out take control of me
New dawn, new day, babe
Moved on
I'm ready to play
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
Can't shake the feeling that
Honey, you don't know
Who I am
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
Can't shake the feeling that
You don't want to know
Who I am
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
Can't shake the feeling that
Honey, you don't know
Who I am
I'm okay with that
Laid back
To the road ahead
Rackin' money in stacks
I'll have you feeling that
You will want to know




I'm the man
ZONIN

Overall Meaning

In the song "New Day" by M.T.L, the artist reflects on a past romantic encounter and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer had a night out with a girl on his mind. They recall a specific moment at a bar where the girl seemed interested in them and invited them back to her place, but the singer admits to messing up. They tried to act cool, but it wasn't what the girl wanted.


The singer is now facing the reality that the girl has already moved on, and although they are okay with it on the surface, there is an underlying feeling of disappointment and longing. The phrase "I'm okay with that, laid back, to the road ahead, rackin' money in stacks" indicates that the singer is trying to stay positive and focused on their own success and personal growth. Despite this, they can't shake the feeling that the girl doesn't truly know or understand them.


The chorus of the song introduces a sense of renewal and readiness. The new day symbolizes a fresh start, a chance to move on and leave the past behind. The singer declares that they are ready to play and embrace this new dawn. However, thoughts of the girl still haunt them, and she teases them to the point of longing and praying for her presence. The desire to be taken down and ravished suggests a strong physical and emotional attraction that the singer still feels towards the girl.


Throughout the song, the singer continues to assert their acceptance of the situation, acknowledging that the girl may not want to know who they truly are. They remain laid back and focused on their own journey, "racking money in stacks." However, there is a persistent hope that at some point, the girl will want to know and understand the true depth of the singer's identity. The closing line "I'm the man, ZONIN" serves as a confident declaration of self-worth and potential, suggesting that the singer knows their own value and is ready to shine.

And I'll never let my son have an ego
He'll be nice to everyone, wherever we go
I mean, I might even make 'em be Republican
So everybody know he love white people
And I'll never let himleave his college girlfriend
And get caught up with the groupies in the whirlwind
And I'll never let him ever hit the telethon
I mean even if people dyin' and the world ends
See, I just want him to have an easy life, not like Yeezy life
Just want him to be someone people like
Don't want him to be hated, all the time judged
Don't be like your daddy that would never budge
And I'll never let him ever hit a strip club
I learned the hard way, that ain't the place to get love
And I'll never let his mom move to L.A.
Knowin' she couldn't take the pressure, now we all pray
