Natas - It'z a New Day lyrics

[HOOK] [VERSE 1: ESHAM] It's a new day A true day A sky blue day It's a new life One-way ticket to Paradise But where you come from Straight out of Hell, son You can't tell from the smoke And the smell, son The Devil's upset He won't be backing it These n***as going crazy They don't know how to act in it (You might have everything figured out) But me, see I took a different route I didn't go to church The preacher's not my friend Me and my fifth-grade teacher We having s** again Only essay I ever wrote Was a Mexican I'm knockin' on Heaven's doors But the won't let me in They say you're from Detroit You're Hell-bound They got me feeling like [Case?] Almost spellbound Am I alive or dead I can't tell now All I got is my soul left For sale now [HOOK] [VERSE 2: MASTAMIND] It's a new life I'm just trying to do right You know, do what I do And let you say who's nice Who's your favorite Who cares, you can save it I'm on some getting paid sh** Not to be played with Love it or hate it From the city where the Devil's busy I'll be damned If I let these s**ers outlive me Stay on my toes Even when I'm tipsy No label to give me no category You could fit me I say "f** it" everyday So ain't no pity Knockin' on Hell's doors Like they know it's me Why do I feel so D-E-A-D When I been spittin' sh** so crazy lately Alive and well Feel like k**ing myself Feel like I'm on d**h row Inside a cell Just spittin' truthfully As I usually do f** the foolery It ain't like it used to be Say hello to the new me [AMBIENT DIALOGUE] [OUTRO] Yeah, it's that new sh** It's a new day You know me The only thing I want old Is some motherf**ing money I'm all with the new-new Droppin' that new sh** That doodoo Funkier than a motherf**er Newer than a motherf**er Just waking up The afterlife [SAMPLES]
