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

Uh
(ACE HOOD)
Sark medaase

Welcome Sarkodie
The United States where they sellin narcotics

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
