New Day Songtext
von Jay-Z & Kanye West

Yeah, uh

(Sun in the sky, you know how I feel)
Me and the RZA connect
(Breeze driftin′ on by) yeah, me and the RZA connect
(Breeze driftin' on by) uh
(It′s a new life for me)
(It's a new dawn, it's a new day)
(It′s a new life for me, ooh) uh
(And I′m feeling good) yeah, uh

And I'll never let my son have an ego
He′ll be nice to everyone, wherever we go
I mean, I might even make 'em be Republican
So everybody know he love white people
And I′ll never let him leave his college girlfriend
And get caught up with the groupies in the whirlwind
And I'll never let him ever hit the telethon
I mean even if people dyin′, and the world ends


See, I just want him to have an easy life, not like Yeezy life
Just want him to be someone people like
Don't want him to be hated, all the time judged
Don't be like your daddy that would never budge
And I′ll never let him ever hit a strip club
I learned the hard way, that ain′t the place to get love
And I'll never let his mom move to L.A.
Knowin′ she couldn't take the pressure, now we all pray

(Sun in the sky, you know how I feel)
(Breeze driftin′ on by)
(Breeze driftin' on by)
(It′s a new life for me, yeah, it's a new dawn, it's a new day) me and the RZA connect
(It′s a new life for me, ooh) me and the RZA connect
(And I′m feelin' good)

Yeah
Sorry, junior, I already ruined ya
′Cause you ain't even alive, paparazzi pursuin′ ya
Sins of a father make your life ten times harder
I just wanna take ya to a barber
Bondin' on charters, all the shit that I never did
Teach ya good values, so you cherish it
Took me 26 years to find my path
My only job is cuttin′ time in half


So at 13 we'll have our first drink together
Black bar mitzvahs, mazel tov, mogul talk
Look a man dead in his eyes
So he know you talk truth when you speak it, give your word, keep it
And if the day comes I only see him on the weekend
I just pray we was in love on the night that we conceived him
Promise to never leave him even if his mama tweakin'
′Cause my dad left me and I promise never repeat him
Never repeat him, never repeat him

(Sun in the sky, you know how I feel)
(Breeze driftin′ on by)
(Breeze driftin' on by)
(It′s a new life for me, yeah, it's a new dawn, it′s a new day)
(It's a new life for me, ooh)
(And I′m feelin' good)

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin′ on by, you know how I feel
It′s a new life for me
It's a new dawn, it′s a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I′m feelin'

Birds flyin′ high, you know how I feel
