Palermo Stone - New Day lyrics

[Verse 1: Palermo Stone] Time is ticking past the darkest hour My ashes flicking off the joints of sour My n***a hover over stoves like towers But that ain't flour It's how my n***a feed his kids, it ain't bout power I'll never mention him, I promised him that Now ever since day one it was mutual respect He in my set, and I'll damned if my n***a don't eat, when I eat Yea I'll be damned if my n***as ain't good, when I'm good I'll be damned if my mother ain't straight Is that right? Yea damn right, n***as was bound to be great Yea I can't wait to stop working for hourly rates I try for patience but patience don't duplicate dollars I feel the safest in the arms of a stranger, my problems The math is simple, I'm one f**ed up individual Cause every move is pivotal Paper chasing I need that dinner bowl Y'all wonder why I'm cynical, yeah [Hook: Palermo Stone] Even when then hours seem dark and cold The closer that it gets to twelve, I see gold Cause it's a new day (x4) [Verse 2: Palermo Stone] The night is young, man I swear I'm alive I'm just tryin' to get my slice of American Pie I know there's plenty fish, why don't you drop me lines I know I stand out in the midst, I'm a popular guy But when I'm not over these beats I'm just awkward and shy I bet you have them kiss your feet at the drop of a dime See, me I'm cool, calm, collected, for games I have no time You see I love being in love but it slows up my grind I'm too dedicated to her, it f**s with my mind I told my n***as it was her, I confess that I'm lying She wanted me to herself I can't knock her for trying But I'm unfixable and damn-it what horrible timing I thought I'd speak to you a second, I'm sorry for rhyming It could have been a call, it could have been a text But then the world wouldn't know why I be tweeting so less Because I'm sad and I'm hopeful that I won't see the stress You want to hate me for honesty, be my guest, yes! [Hook: Palermo Stone] Even when then hours seem dark and cold The closer that it gets to twelve, I see gold Cause it's a new day (x4)
