Brand New Day Lyrics


Looks like I'm losin' friends
There's a lot of hostility in my ends
We used to argue, always make common new friends
Now we settle disagreements with the skenz
Looks like I'm loosin' mates
There's a lot of hostility near my gates
We used to fight wid kids from other estates
Now 8 millimeters settle debates
Looks like I'm loosin' sight
'Cause I'm lookin' at the future, it ain't right
So I look out my window, pray every night
I thank God 4 my friends but they ain't tight
Looks like I'm loosin' hope
'Cause I climbed dis 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
With new opportunities, what can I say?

I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
But it's a brand new day
With new opportunities, what can I say?
I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect
Demand, collect, cash upfront 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 rite now?
Like fightin' for anything, anytime
And actin' without a care anywhere
When we ain't kids no more
Will it still be about what it is rite now?
Like back scams, street robbery
Shottas, plottas or HMP
When we ain't kids no more
Will it still be about what it is rite now?
Pregnant girls who think they love
Useless mans with no plans
When we ain't kids no more
Will it still be about what it is rite now?
'Cause negative signs just keep showin' up
Sum of us betta just start growin' up
But it's a brand new day
With new opportunities, what can I say?
I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
But it's a brand new day
With new opportunities, what can I say?
I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect
When I look at my life I can't help but think
'Cause I could have resorted to drugs and drink
Everyday was the same as the day before
We were never quite sure of what's in store
Everyday I wake up I can't help but feel
I'm certain of life, I mean dis is real
Mouthfuls skippin' 'round my head like dancers
I know it's wrong to question but I need answers
Da whos, da whats, da hows, da whens, da whys
You can look in my face, you see da pain in my eyes
I hope dat I put my feet down and rise
'Cause guys wanna test my words
So I can't just cater for 2nd and 3rd
Plus I know predators only go for the weak
And dat's long so I gotta stay strong
Get me
But it's a brand new day
With new opportunities, what can I say?
I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
But it's a brand new day
With new opportunities, what can I say?
I plan to make my pay
But put sum away for an off key day
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect
Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Dylan Mills, known professionally as Dizzee Rascal (born November 1, 1985), is a grime solo artist, formerly a Roll Deep crew member, who emerged from the UK Garage music scene. His music was a blend of garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga, with some more eclectic samples.

Dizzee began MCing on pirate radio and at raves at fifteen, but since his mainstream success he has distanced himself from the fledgling scene. Rascal grew up in the East End of London in south Bow in a council estate, raised by his single mother, a Ghanaian immigrant. Little is known about his father, though it is thought that he died when Mills was two. He attributes his musical development to a school teacher who allowed him to skip regular classes and spend time working on music on the school computers.

His music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. His vocal performance is also distinctive, he uses a fast version of rapping (known as 'spitting') which blends elements from garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga.

Dizzee Rascal has numerous rivals within the Grime scene, mainly from the Bow, East London area. A notable rival of Dizzee Rascal is Crazy Titch who produced and recorded a diss called "Just An Arsehole" which used the backing track of Dizzee's record of "Jus A Rascal".

Dizzee Rascal has had international endorsements deals with urban brand Ecko and designed his own shoe with Nike. He has also worked with cross genre artist, Beck, on a remix of the song Hell Yes.

He released his first album in 2003, which was called Boy in da Corner. His second album Showtime was then later released in 2004. His third effort, Maths and English was released in 2007. He experienced commercial success in 2008 when Dance Wiv Me reached the number one spot in the UK charts.
