Sarkodie - New Guy

CHORUS

Thats why I wake up every mornin

I grind, stand up and sun down

Wake up knowin that people expect me

to lead them to a win

When time is tough they look at me for answers

Hopin I can lift them off from their fears

and progress

So I grind, sunday to monday

Cus they aint no role models

They aint no true leaders left

So it's up to me to make sure the world knows that

I'm that new guy

I'm that new inspiration

Ivy League, SarkCess music, Ace Hood

Huh

VERSE 1 (SARKODIE)

I'm the new guy

I made it from the slums back in Africa

where most of my niggas committed suicide

Every story got a two side

T-shirt tryna make it to the suit and tie

You kno a nigga gotta survive, it's do or die

We gotta make it and it's really up to you and I

Started from the bottom nigga really did a lot

So tell me who am I?

VERSE 2 (ACE HOOD)

Yeah, the beast of the South

On my worstest behavior

Dont make me angrier

Couple shots all in ya dome

and that turn ya shit to a stadium

Dr. Martin Luther King gotta had a dream, nigga

Twenty bitches in my bed naked countin cheese, nigga

Black man in a fuckin beamer

Got a tipper toein like a ballerina

Diamonds water water like a zakafina

Servin bitches like the new subpoena

Only pieces on my cuban chain

Sell ya soul and get the birth of fame

Bought some waters with a broad damage in the stores

Damn not a thing change

Protesters is another lesson

Prison cells are gettin too congested

Righteous livin fuck a suicide

New guys wearin suit and ties

Bossin up instead of talkin nice

Shootin guys, prison time

Stackin money build an enterprise

Be the one who niggas idolize

Countin money till my palms hurt

I remember they were way worse

Momma prayin everyday at church

Being broke in every second hurts

Tryna shine boy you gotta grind and just wait on time

Thats just how it works

Good in the hood with my street tithes

I cant say the same for you new guys

CHORUS

Thats why I wake up every mornin

I grind, stand up and sun down

Wake up knowin that people expect me

to lead them to a win

When times is tough they look at me for answers

Hopin I can lift them off from their fears

and progress

So I grind, sunday to monday

Im that new guy

VERSE 3 (SARKODIE)

Ace, lemme take you to Africa

My people dey love you

I came here you showed me some love

and I promise to build you a statue, uh

Ace Hood akwaaba

And Sark is a hell of a nation

M’asigny wodin w) Kumasi

M’apem so ny3 ade3 a wob3hia confirmation

Uh

(ACE HOOD)

Sark medaase

Im the new Pac in the projects

Welcome Sarkodie

The United States where they sellin narcotics

It's a pleasure my nigga

Now let's go and get the money bags

Haters hatin, they will never last

Came too far and we aint lookin back...

CHORUS

Thats why I wake up every mornin

I grind, stand up and sun down

Wake up knowin that people expect me

to lead them to a win

When times is tough they look at me for answers

Hopin I can lift them off from their fears

and progress

So I grind, sunday to monday

I'm that new guy
