about

This track was written with the same ideas as "Beautiful Day" from FMGF5. It is designed to evoke a "Change is going to come" type of mentality. It details incidences of police brutality, the privatized prison complex, religion and patience.

lyrics

(Black Linen sings) Chorus 1x

It's a new day, the sun is shining,
I don't go where I use to go,
and even though I ain't where I want to be,
I will never let that stop my growth.
and I lose my mind, before I lose my cool,
sometimes you can't play the fool.
La da da daaaaaaaaaaa.

(Black Linen raps) Verse 1

So I'm driving down this rode called peaches & plumb street,
where everybody seems to be looking for something,
where crickets so grumpy, they don't play or sing,
the cicadas bugged out they don't do their thing,
the mayflies and the butterflies don't spread their wings,
the lightning bugs don't light up to show the scene,
it's blood on the ground, and blood on the leaves,
the mosquito's came through and they blooded up the dream.
Freddy Crueger wit a Rutger, Michael Myers wit a Charger,
so I'm Fred Sanford in the Mansion with Mosberg.
Malcolm in the window that's the Art of Survival,
with a straight face they will lie on the Bible,
put in God we trust on the back of their idols,
it's a reason why my people lack in their high hops,
it sounds like me when I try to hit the high note,
they steady watching me through these Stelittes and telescopes,
It's a New Day!

(Black Linen sings) Chorus 1x

It's a new day, the sun is shining,
I don't go where I use to go,
and even though I ain't where I want to be,
I will never let that stop my growth.
and I lose my mind, before I lose my cool,
sometimes you can't play the fool.
La da da daaaaaaaaaaa.
