Verse 1:
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar, better soundtrack
Like I was scorin' movies on the daily
Brought the whole entourage to make it with Scorsese
St. Martin, patron of my primary school
Too many memories to mention that ignite the fuel
My grandparents lived a couple doors up
Come 3 o'clock, stoppin' in for love and food
Afternoon tea (T)
To the D.A.L.E.Y. aka I AM D
Meaning ya girl sees my trouser snake up in the AM
She scale the building she a reptile freak
*uh* Knowin' I was home alone three
Got McCauliflower and brocolli steamed with the beans
To go with this chicken, I'm down to eat
Post workout. *Yeaah, I'll call you next week!"
Rocks off already, day barely started
Grateful for the people who I laugh with
Who I cry with, dedicate my time with
Both bring tears just to show me I'm alive-It
Bridge:
Took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar, better soundtrack
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
To bounce back, to bounce back, to bounce back
Chorus:
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar, better soundtrack
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar. [x2]
Verse 2:
Blue collar scholar like the books, stopped breathin'
But the paper came from trees, double meanin'?
Triple if I'm talkin' bout weed dealin'
If it makes no sense, ya coinpocket need a proper top up
Top up if you don't do convertibles
Top down if you're suffering from vertigo
Mandatory health cover if you ill as I
Apostrophe-double L to personify
Then I'll walk the aisle with a bride or shoppin' list
Drop the apostrophe again
Who as ill as this?
I was feelin' ill-equipped of the positives
Apologies for the, 8 minute list
Of negatives, had to double check the regiment
Got an even bigger list of things heaven-sent
But the devil tried to bring me down
God showed me the way in the same 8 rounds
Heat of the moment, had me feelin' so cold
In 24 hours, found my heart of gold
24 karat, pure as the habit of
Bouncin' to this Cookin' Soul beat like a rabbit-It
Bridge:
Took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar, better soundtrack
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
To bounce back, to bounce back, to bounce back
Chorus:
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar, better soundtrack
It took hittin' rock-bottom just to bounce back
A new day, new dollar. [x2]
