This is another of my inspirational / motivational cuts about pushing ahead, moving forward and not looking back while on the question for success. "...Past indiscretions forgot 'em, I turned a new page...forward progress the goal, no stagnation..." Big shout out to Kiza Beats out of the Serbia for reaching out to me with this banger. Wheww!! Definitely wanted to keep this one raw.
lyrics
I wake up rejuvenated from a night's sleep
Darkness dwindling and my skin is feeling slight heat
Sunshine signals the start of a new day
Past indiscretions...forgot 'em...I turned a new page
Forward progress is the goal, no stagnation
Emancipate the mind to stay off of the plantation
Liberating...deliberating, dropping my next groove
Defribulating, my chest pumped plotting like chess moves
Intense mood that I'm in when I'm focused on said tune
Inject truth in a net to catch you buggin out like some web views
...The support of my peeps keeps me driven
Even more by the scores of supporters endorsing my vision
A source of pure adrenaline, obscure like cure medicine
I am sharp as iron swords with mitre saw rhetoric
Embrace victory trying not to dwell in it
Walk thru opportunity's door headfirst without a swell in it
Remain humble despite the stumble to props and love
Peeps got my back like palms from hugs
I stay grateful and raise my arms above, gaze to my God above
Take in the rays and the hot of the sun
It's a new day fresh start, level the playing field
Goal setting, go getting, concepts I make em real
Fear of failure don't stop the move to be made
I take the good with the bad and push on,
Cause it's a new day
So, you trying to tell me that I'm stuck in the past?... Sucker you stuck in the ass
You industry conformist sucker you trash
You won't last, I bust a gut at you kats
I'm hiphop but what you loving is rap
If I allowed.. every critic with a ribit ribit to croak in my ear
I'd be a clone in this life without a hope and a prayer
...Don't get it twisted the focus is here, I be the dopest in here
My plan's for you to take notice I'm here
It's just human nature for those not in the know to criticize
And for those that stay in the know to shed light to these eyes
Yeah, I been wronged in the past, it made me stronger perhaps
But mental flashbacks rekindle my wrath
As a kid I was tagged as least likely to succeed
So I guess that proving them wrong is what I'd like to achieve
Passion and fight's what I bleed in this life that I lead
As long as I got a stranglehold on this life I can breathe
Each day's my ground zero that I'm building from the ground up
Weight of the world on my shoulders I get my pounds up
No pain no gain, every mistake that I make's
A lesson learned on this quest to be great
Without a mistake, that's a missed ache through these growing pains
Every fricking ache I work through it till it goes away
And on this quest to be great I gotta be grateful
No time to hold grudges or being hateful...it's a new day
Hook:
...I gotta make movements
Learn from the past, I gotta vie for improvements
...Success is the mission at hand
Success can turn a man into a different man
...Challenges build character
Settle for mediocrity? You ain't on my calibre
Can't understand what's being said in this Chorus
I ignore it...can't be bothered...cause it's a new day.
