“New Beginnings” is the first track on “Treading the Path (Musical Collection)” by Josiah Williams. The lyrical style is complex, poetic and personal. It addresses negative Hip-Hop styles, and events in Josiah’s musical upbringing.
[Verse One:]
I work hard to see a new beginning
Definition. Dedication. I’m the newest winning
I give my all and people notice, never cocky with it
These rocky haters feeling bold, but never stop me (Get it?)
Beware of the plastics; they believe the drastic changes keep a mind frame at whiplash—elastic
Tragic. Not for me but for the rest involved
The peace that I request is now at rest
Problem solved
Sat them in electric, thunderbolt a wire
Caught a quick connect and let them burn beneath the fire
Took over the rap world, told them that I found it
Made it crystal clear like a common sense announcement
B.o.B told the game Every Play is Crucial
Cosign, but added on: only if it’s useful
(I) hear what people sayin’, but I hear it unpleasantly
Tell them bow down to the lyrical supremacy
[Hook:]
Let it play, yeah, go on, let it play
Yeah, this only the beginning
I’m the newest winning, this is only the beginning
(x3)
[Verse Two:]
Flowing crazy, throwing rabies at any artist
I’m locked, loaded, pointing & aiming at any target
They ain’t rappers, they’re babies, a bunch of them, plenty
I sent them back to Octomom, they’re just one of the many
Steady talking, I ain’t trying to hear it
Give me the Andre, 3 stacks to make an appearance
Until then I’m disappearing, you’re just appearing, I’ve been premiering
I’m gonna be racking feeling until I’m stacking a million (records sold)
Looking now like that record’s old
Last of a Dying Breed was good, but now that book is closed
Different story, fresh chapter, with a harder meaning
I chose to play a different card with feelings intervening
The good ones go. The bad stick around
And play a tune with a powerful, intimate sound
Your attention’s grabbed, or I’m hoping it is
I’m devoting my whole notion of open to this
One time for the people who show love for it
Concert on the 6th, thanks to ya’ll that showed up for it
To those who didn’t go, it means more than you’ll ever know
I took it personal, now it’s easy to tell a person: “no”
Not interested? Oh, you’re shocked?
I’m attached, yeah, I’ve been invested, so, I’m not
Got them mad because my mic is a breathing apparatus
Feeling like the only reason that I matter is my status
Facebook my lifestyle, Tweeting all my logic
My intellect is public and I don’t get any profit
I’m sharing wisdom, no dental
I listen to your tracks and, yeah, you rock it, but I wonder, where’s the topic?
Verse without heart, and beat without care
Like singing a fine part while breathing without air
Let go of the damaging, bringing in the dangerous
I’m a crew all on my own, and there’s no chance of taming us
Let it play, yeah, go on, let it play
