Brand New Day - Dizzee Rascal

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]
