* Sound of an airplane taking off *
Intro
Still drowsy, I give her back my cup
Ice cubes... the size of my lump
Feel my heart thump, watch that ass walk
Mum interrupts, she wants to talk
"Pray we land safe plus W**** needs to wake."
Shut my eyes tight, Pilot speaks the date-
I mean the weather, 'Lord let my life be better
Keep me safe, as I escape my house's fetters
Jesus please, let us land in one piece
And I beg and I plead, I see no tears from my sis X 3
Amen
Intercom: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Daytona Beach where...
Chorus
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life...
For me...and I'm Feelin'
Good
Verse 1
It's humid here, so when I take a breath
I feel unsatisfied as I take a step
Outside the airport, sea breeze flows from the west
Palm trees by Hellstrom, swinging like they be possessed
Hotel bus parked, Driver doesn't look sharp...
Sniffing the nicotine, we get inside the car
He smiles with smoke-stained teeth;
'So where y'all from?'
'Oh, NEW JERSEY! That's where I lived with my son!'
'Welcome to Daytona, I hope you like your school
'Don't study too hard, remember there's an outdoor pool! (haha)'
So as we leave his cab, we tip him six more bucks
He turns around and wishes me the best of luck
Luck? Who needs luck when you've got everything going for you just like I do?!
Chorus
Verse 2
In a shirt too big, I rushed out the door
Rubbing my cheeks, Ma said I should have shaved before
But no dice unlike this cold slice, I'm not leaving raw
Shaken to the core, last thing I need is a face feeling sore
9:30 on Orientation Day and I'm already late
Get to the ground floor, can't find my taxi; this is so great
Freakin' spectacular, I find the driver with a plate
Sneakin in the hotel food, chowing down while I wait
These Daytona Taxi Drivers are like Godiva chocolate wrappers
Glossy ass surface but really just a bunch of crappers
UNH!
Bridge
Now please, take me to the IC
Where I sure do hope the other kids like me
It's quite likely but let it be not for my white teeth
Ghost busters shirt, cool hair or my nice sneaks
Let them like me for me!
Oh yes, everyone's so friendly and free!
I am where I am, where I want to be!
The Sun in the East, the West is the Sea
Might not enjoy this heat but rest assured, I'll live with it!
Chorus 2
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Aw yeah
Aw yeah
OH YEAH!
FOR ME!!!
Verse 3
Wood with three 2s, a room never looked so lonely...
With a window overlooking the school, yet it all seems so phony...
Bravery fakin', she tells me she'll make it
Back to Jersey, without letting naked
Drops of Protein fall from her face:
TEARS, she's fifteen, I hope she'll behave...
I hope I'LL behave
Hope I won't misplace
The trust of my parents in this quest to be the greatest
Music and Words, my ones and only...
But now is not the time to tell that story...
SO!
Bridge
Ending Chorus
Stars when you shine!
You know how I feel!
Scent of the pine!
You know how I feel!
Ohh FREEDOM IS MINE!
And I know how I feel...
It's a new dawn...
It's a new day...
It's a new life...
It's a new dawn...
It's a new day...
It's a new life...
It's a new DAWN!
It's a new DAY!
It's a new LIFE!
It's a new LIFE!
For MEEEE!
And I'm FEELING good...
I'm feeling good
I feel so good
I feel so good...
