New Day (pop Radio Edit) Lyrics


What we gon' do right now is go back, way back
Bring in the groove
I wanna dedicate this to those who never made it
From kindergarten to the 12th I never graduated
Yo, but college wasn't for some of us
So we joined the service
I seen a kid get murdered in 'Nam listening to Elvis
But on the out looking in
Things stay the same
But at the same vein
Looking out the whole world's changed
So keep your head up
Don't get caught up in the fast bucks
And find your mom crying while your lying in a black tux
Trust me
We don't need no education says a young man
Sitting in class
(Sitting in class)

School is out 3 o'clock on the dot
He had beef with some kids and he got shot, oh Lord
Turn on the television
I'm watching Martin Luther King who had a dream, oh
So take this dream and apply it to your life
Even though we know the ghetto's rough
But we got to
Keep your head up
(Uh, keep your head up)
'Cause a new day will come
(Uh huh, uh huh)
And look towards the sun
(Look towards the sun)
Even when the darkness shall come
(Ooh)
It's real son
(Ooh)
To my people living life it's real son
I turn the page
What's the news today
People getting fired, walking on a wire
Looting on the streets 'cause the kid's gotta eat
Oh, oh, turn around and look at the hour glass
I gotta get it straight
Before it's too late
'Cause I don't wanna be behind that gates
Keep your head up
(Uh, keep your head up)
Cause a new day will come
(Uh huh, uh huh)
And look towards the sun
Even when the darkness shall come
All my people in the back
Mama, mama, you know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
For giving me life, oh yeah
Mama, mama, you know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
Even though I'm doing life
Alright
(Ooh)
It's real son, alright
(Ooh)
Can't flee
(Ooh)
All my people doing time
(Ooh)
People in the back playing cards
(Ooh)
Don't lose your money yeah
Yeah, tell them don't lose your money, c'mon, c'mon
Keep your head up
(Uh, keep your head up)
'Cause a new day will come
(Uh huh, uh huh)
And look towards the sun
(Look towards the sun)
Even when the darkness shall come
All my people in the back
Mama, mama, you know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
For giving me life, oh yeah
Mama, mama, you know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
Even though I'm doing life
Alright
(Ooh)
For my people doing time
(Alright)
(Ooh)
For my people doing time
(Alright)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972 in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haïti) is an American rapper, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles.

Jean moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.

Recently he has been finding success as a collaborator - with his turn on Shakira's 2006 track 'Hips Don't Lie' hitting number one in many countries around the world.

In August of 2010, Jean announced his intent to seek the presidency of Haiti. This move came after his increasingly-high profile humanitarian work in the wake of the earthquake that devastated that nation.
