For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say Ay 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 shit 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 F*ck 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 bitch, bitch We going the distance with you party people come on 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 Ay 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 Niggas 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 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 Ay Marks on the wall It's now or never at all I'm gonna give it my all Whether I rise or fall 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 F*ck 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 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 Ay
