Looks like i'm loosin friends
There's a lot of hostility in my endz
We used 2 argue, always make other new friends

Now we settle disagreements with the skenz
Looks like i'm loosin mates
There's a lot of hostility near my gates

We used 2 fight wid kids 4rm other estates
Now 8 millimetres settle debates
Looks like i'm loosin sight

Coz i'm lookin at the future, it ain't right
So i look out my window, pray every night
I thank God 4 my friends but they ain't tight

Looks like i'm loosin hope
Coz i climbed dis mountain widout rope
But i know i'm the captain of my boat

So i steadily sail and hope not 2 float

[Chorus:]

But its a Brand New Day
New opportunities, wot can i say
I plan 2 make my pay

But put sum away 4 an offkey day - [x2]
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect [x2]


[Verse 2:]
When we ain't kids no more

Will it still be about wot it is rite now
Like fightin 4 anything, anytime
And actin widout a care anywhere

When we ain't kids no more
Will it still be about wot is rite now
Like backscams, street robbery

Shottas, plottas or HMP
When we ain't kids no more
Will it still be about wot it is rite now

Pregnant girls who think they luv
Useless mans wid no plans
When we ain't kids no more

Will it still be about wot it is rite now
Coz negative signs jus keep showin up
Sum of us betta jus start growin up


[Chorus:]
But its a Brand New Day

New opportunities, wot can i say
I plan 2 make my pay
But put sum away 4 an offkey day - [x2]

Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect - [x2]


[Verse 3:]
When i look at my life i can't help but think
Coz i could hav resorted 2 drugs and drink

Everyday was the same as the day b4
We were neva quite sure of wots in store
Everyday i wke up i can't help but feel

I'm certain of life, i mean dis is real
Mouthfuls skippin round my head like dancers
I know its wrong 2 question but i need answers

Da whos, da wots, da hows, da whens, da whys
U can look in my face, u c da pain in my eyes
Tears ready 2 fall like the rain in the skies

But i hope dat i put my feet down and rise
Coz guys wanna test my words
So i can't jus cater 4 2nd and 3rd

Plus i know predators only go 4 the weak
And dats long so i gotta stay strong
Get me !


[Chorus]
