So much %#@! heavy on my mind
Seems like everyday I'm on my grind
Seems like everyday I'm writing rhymes

Looking at my watch, wondering when the $#&@ is my time?
Clock's ticking and I just can't stop
Keep moving, rolexing like a $#&@in boss

No price tag, at whatever cost
Cause hesitation only makes a mother$#&@er lost
I raise the glass like I'm $#&@in taking shots

I tell myself VK, yo you gotta make it to the top
VK, yo you gotta spit some hip hop
It been awhile since you let some $#&@in' %#@! drop

So here's a toast to a brand new day
And here's a toast, cause I'm bout to do it my way
Here's a toast to the ones that stay

The ones that hold me down, when the skies turn to rainy days
You ain't wit it? you better tell me now
And once I make it, don't think you'll be around

To the skies muther$#&@ers I ain't looking down,
No tear, no fear, you'll never see me frown
I aiming for the throne, I'm aiming for the crown

Persistence is my home, ambition is my town
The only thing that I know, is my time is now
And I can only go up, cause I feel the ground...


(Chorus)
It's a...

It's a...
It's a...
It's a new day...


Like the concrete, the journey gets cold
Metal sheets, and sometimes I feel alone

I never sleep, cause I'm always in the zone
My mom's always calling, asking when you coming home?
And I do this for them, they just don't know

My blood's the only reason, why I $#&@in flow
I do this for my fam, my sister and my bro
I'm gonna miss you all, but I really gotta to go

New days, new highs, no more lows
And to that one girl, I just want you to know
That all I wanna do, is try make our love grow

I want you by my side, you complete my soul
But if I have to, I will let you go
And if we're meant to be, then one day we'll know

But for now, I will take it slow
Its only been an episode, we'll make it a show
The wind blows and the river runs gold

The moon shines in the night, its got a nice glow
I'm looking through my scope, in the distance of hope
The future looks bright, yeah the future looks dope

Come around like an ounce, full circle like O
Stars align, walk the line, make a brotha say coo
It's time to go, it's time to roll,

I'm in my own lane and I'm climbing up the rope...

(Chorus)


The world is a stormy place
Dark clouds, tears on a rainy day

But the sun will always shine again
To light up the skies, and wash away the pain
I never $#&@ wit the negatives

So you can hate, that's your prerogative
I'm the captain and I'm standing on the red cliff
Bout to jump off, and these wings you can never clip

Cause this my craft, this my battle ship
This my ride, I call it pistol whip
I'm laying beats when the lyrics flow from my lips

And when it's time, best believe I'm gonna come equipped
Hands up to the sky as I clench my fist
I pray to god I'm written on that mutha$#&@in' heavens list

An angel blows a kiss, ignorance is bliss
Mutha$#&@ers I'm about to write some hieroglyphs
My tribe's called quest and you can call me q-tip

I search across the deserts, you can call me an alchemist
You can't $#&@ wit this, and the lesson is
I'm subtracting mathematics wit you pessimists
I'm Albert E, MC squared wit you lyricists
Another level, another planet, astro-physicist

To the (*##$eses, I'm cunninglusisist
So don't blink mutha$#&@ers you'll be missing this...

(Chorus)
