Brand New Day (Live At BBC Electric Proms 2010)

Yo

Mc's better start chattin about what's really happening

Because if you ain't chatting about what's happening

Where you living

What you talking about

Cause you know and I know it's gonna be a hot summer

And you know what it's gonna be an even hotter winter

And I ain't even talking about the whether

Dizzee rascal

Uh

Looks like I'm losing friends there's a lot of hostility in my endz

We used to argue always make enemy friends

Now we settle disagreements with the skenz

Looks like I'm losing mates there's a lot hostility near my gates

We used to fight with kids from other estates

Nine eight millimetres settle debates

Looks like I'm losing site cause I'm looking at the future it ain't bright

So I look out my window and pray every night

I thank god for my friends but they ain't tight

Looks like I'm losing hope cause I climb this mountain without rope

But I know I'm the captain of my boat so I steadily sail and hope not to float

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day

Demand collect

Cash up front and direct

Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect

Demand collect

Cash up front and direct

Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect

When we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now

Like fighting for anything anytime and acting without a care and where

And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now

Like bank scams

Street robbery

Shotters plotters or h

M

P

And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now

Pregnant girls who think they love useless mans with no plans

And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now

Cause negative signs just keep showing up

Some of us beter just start growing up

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day

Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect

When I look at my life I can't help but think

Cause I could of resulted to d**gs and drink

Everyday was the same as the day before

But we where never quite sure of what's in store

Every day I wake up I can't help but feel

I'm certain of life I mean this is real

Mad thoughts skip around my head like dance themes

I know it's long to question but I need answers

The who's

The what's

The how's

The when's

The why's

You can at look in my face and see the pain in my eyes

Tears ready to fall like the rain in the skies

So hold back put my feet down and rise

Cause guys want to test my words

So I can't just cater for second or third

Plus I know predators only go for the weak

And that's long so I gotta stay strong

You get me

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day

But it's a brand new day

New opportunities what can I say

I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day
