[Verse 1: Deca]
Right back at square one
Spend your hard earned cash up
Still thinkin’ ‘bout how to make a fast buck
And missed opportunities that you passed up
Man you came a lot harder on the last cut
You’ve been wrapped up in what, that government dope?
[?]
It’s fucked tryin’ to scrounge up skrill for your rent check
Music isn’t payin’ off, you haven’t seen a cent yet
You got big plans, to do big things
So don’t stop [?] it
You will not let it
Get the best of you
I heard it all before fam
In the past five months you blew four grand
Understand I’m not here to hold your hand
And can’t say what the gods have in store man
Just know that you can’t [?] much more man
Turn my back, lit a smoke, and heard a door slam
[Chorus: Deca, Yonnas Abraham, and (voice samples)]
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
Lyin’ to themself knowin’ shit won’t change
Like
(New dawn) new dawn
(New day) new day
I can’t revert back to my old ways now
(It’s a new life for me)
A new life everything is ok now
One, two, three, four
[Verse 2: Deca]
Just slam the door said motherfuck you and farewell
Gaggin’ from the punches, smell of piss in the stairwell
We got back to my place and blew half an eighty
Then stashed it safely full-blastin’ Jay Z
My lack of passion lately’s due to what?
I’m lettin’ the world pass me by losin’ touch
And it’s so pathetic
My righthand man’s right
I could let myself slip away or stand and fight
But I’ve said the same shit in the past and grew week
After two weeks of turnin’ over a new leaf
Tell the truth chief
You don’t practice what you preach
And use to escape from the world when it’s too bleak
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
[?] that it was all so simple and plain
Once upon a wrinkle in time I sing in the rain
Now I sit in somber solitude dreamin’ in vain
Come on
[Chorus: Deca, Yonnas Abraham, and (voice samples)]
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
Lyin’ to themself knowin’ shit won’t change
Like
(New dawn) new dawn
(New day) new day
I can’t revert back to my old ways now
(It’s a new life for me)
A new life everything is ok now
New dawn new dawn
A new day new day
A new life new life
A new way new way
New dawn new dawn
A new day new day
A new life new life
A new way new way
[Verse 3: Deca]
Blow a kiss to the old me
Tell my next dope fix it’s hopeless
Hidin’ from a swarm of locusts
So sick smash mirrors with a closed fist
Pick [?] from my knuckles when I throw fits
Cold bitch is a bit much to cope with
The kid won’t quit
Sniff shit like there’s no risk
Focus [?] and rap don’t mix
Thick smoke drifts from the layer of the soul [?]
So sick
Forgot about all my petty dreams
Talk loud but don’t say much of anything
By any means was my outlook back when
I can’t throw that old carcass in the trash bin
[Chorus: Deca, Yonnas Abraham, and (voice samples)]
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
Strung out dreamer bother with no pain
Lyin’ to themself knowin’ shit won’t change
Like
(New dawn) new dawn
(New day) new day
I can’t revert back to my old ways now
(It’s a new life for me)
A new life everything is ok now
New dawn new dawn
A new day new day
A new life new life
A new way new way
New dawn new dawn
A new day new day
A new life new life
A new way new way
(New dawn) new dawn
(New day) new day
I can’t revert back to my old ways now
(It’s a new life for me)
A new life everything is ok now
