[Intro]
It don't take much strength to pull a trigger
But try to 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


[Hook: Alicia Keys]
Party people say, party people say

Ay it's a new day, it's a new day
World is getting ready, everybody ready, yeah!
For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say

A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Aye

[Verse 1: Dr Dre]

I woke up this morning thinking 'bout the old me
When I was feeling like Miller Lite and Ol' E
But now I ride on some conscious %#@!

I'm getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments
Only one I could have a problem with is myself
That's probably why my only competition is myself

From today to tomorrow
The Doc is just rocking the same drum
$#&@ the past, though I ain't forgot where I came from

I got the club rocking, uh
I got your girl jocking, uh
Me and Fif' still in this (*##$, (*##$

We going the distance with you party people come'on

[Hook]


[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
Now, you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better

Or push the dough on the liquor store, see where it get 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 starting me

Growing up in poverty ain't fill my heart with larceny
^!$$%s 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; the competition, red-dot 'em

It's dinner time when the 9 come out
It's off with the chain, off with the ring
Move --bang, off with ya brain


[Hook]


[Bridge: Alicia Keys]
Marks on the wall
It's now or never at all

I'm gonna give it my all
Whether I rise or fall


[Verse 3: 50 Cent]
True story, I said I'd get rich or die trying
I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine

Nothing matters but the music, music my first love
We paper chasing -- I'm always coming in first, cuz
I'm built for it, see I'm better under pressure

I react like a maniac when I'm coming to get ya
I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching
$#&@ that, losing ain't an option


I'm sharp I'm on point
The ink from my ballpoint

Throwing out my pain
I'm back on my A-game
I'm focused, for me this is just another victory

Except that I'm stronger than an ox now mentally

[Hook]
