This song is a motivational lecture, put to music. Never stop waking up. Tomorrow is a new day, and every moment is a new chance to create the life you want. Thank you to Trunk Bussa for featuring me on this awesome track, and allowing me to use it for my album.

lyrics

Chyeah, dat right

Speedin' goin' a hundred on the highway
Wonder when the dice will roll my way
Cause life don't seem fair at all, at all
But everyday I'm wakin' up
It's a new day, it's a new chance to get it done, you're way
I'm wakin' up, it's a new day, it's a new chance to get it done, you're way

Same day, different day, nothin' changed Gotta go, I need it,
Can't get it while I'm sleepin' I got dreams that I gotta get
Can't settle for the bottom I don't follow em', I lead em
Don't follow em', I lead em', nah
But every great leader was a follower
They label us minority, but it's a lot of us
Like we ain't really a happy less, they proud of us
Like they took the self-esteem right up out of us

But I can't wait to look up at my momma, say We on
Momma, you ain't gotta work
Cause we on, I can't wait to tell my momma
Like, we on, you ain't gotta work
Momma, we on

If you see me fall down
I'ma get back up
If my back's against the wall
I'ma press my luck
I'ma make it, do what it do, and I'm tellin you
No matter what, gon' keep it true
I'm always gon' be pushin' through

If you see me fall down
I'ma get back up
If my back's against the wall
I'ma press my luck
I'ma make it do what it do, and I'm tellin you
No matter what, gon' keep it true
I'm always gon' be pushin' through


Speedin', goin' a hundred on the highway
Wonder when the dice'll roll my way
Cause life don't seem fair at all, at all
But every day I'm wakin' up, it's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way
I'm wakin' up, it's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way

I swear, I swear, I have no fear and I'ma get it
I'ma rock this life and wear it cool just like a fitted
I'ma change the chapter, flip the script, can't ever quit it
All my haters gon' be askin', tell me how you did it, now they wit' it
Got one thing that you'll never see me do
Is quit, never this
I'll be makin' ways out of no way
Wakin' up like I own the day
Holdin' on like helps on the way
I just have to look down at my daughter to stay strong
I look down at my sons to keep on
One day I tell my babies, I'm on
And now we get to move on

Speedin' goin' a hundred on the highway
Wonderin if thats a road my way
Cause life don't seem fair at all, at all
But every day I'm wakin' up, it's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way
Wakin' up, it's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way, okay

Speedin' goin' a hundred on the highway
Wonder when the dice'll roll my way
Cause life don't seem fair at all, at all
But every day I'm wakin' up
It's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way
I'm wakin' up, it's a new day
It's a new chance to get it done your way

If you see me fall down
I'ma get back up
If my back's against the wall
I'ma press my luck
I'ma make it do what it do, and I'm tellin you
No matter what, gon' keep it true
I'm always gon' be pushin' through

If you see me fall down
I'ma get back up
If my back's against the wall
I'ma press my luck
I'ma make it do what it do, and I'm tellin you
No matter what, gon' keep it true
I'm always gon' be pushin' through ohh
