New Day |
| We’re gonna take ya back now, come on |
| I like the way this is going down |
| Ladies and gents |
| Yo I’mma do this for the kids check it out |
| Here we go, yo |
| We don’t need no education (yeah) |
| Says a young man sitting in class (yeah) |
| School is out 3 o’clock on the dot (yeah) |
| Beef with some thugs, he got shot (yeah) |
| Turn on your television (yeah) |
| Martin Luther King just had a dream (yeah) |
| Take this dream and apply it to your life (yeah) |
| Shorty’s selling crack, is a talking job |
| To all my refugees, enough respect |
| To all my juveniles, enough respect |
| To all my war children, enough respect |
| Now Bono won’t you sing the hook, come on |
| (Wyclef) |
| Keep your head up |
| (Uh keep your head up) |
| Cause a new day’s gonna come |
| (Every country got a ghetto, come on) |
| And look towards the sun |
| Some got the darkness all around |
| (Everybody sing this part right here) |
| Mama, mama |
| You know you raised me with no father figure |
| I wanna take this time to thank you |
| Even though I’m doing Life |
| Alright |
| Mama, mama |
| You know you raised me with no father figure |
| And taken by machine gun trigger |
| Out for giving me life |
| Yo, yo turn the page ready the news today |
| People getting fired, some getting wild |
| Looting on the streets cause the dogs gotta eat |
| (Grrr!) By any means necessary |
| Turning over the hour glass |
| Gotta get it straight before it’s too late |
| Cause I don’t wanna be behind that gate |
| Now everybody sing the hook |
| (Wyclef) |
| Keep your head up |
| (Your head up, your head up) |
| Cause a new day’s gonna come |
| (For the new millennium) |
| And look towards the sun |
| Some got the darkness all around |
| (Everybody sing this part right here) |
| My people in the front, everybody in the buck |
| Hey yo raise the roof up in the air, come on |
| And just raise the roof for all my people trying to eat |
| Stomp your feet on the floor come on and just stomp |
| Stomp, stomp, stomp |
| Introducing Bono, straight out of Dublin |
| (Wyclef) |
| Midnight she’s on the street, she can’t sleep |
| She’s afraid to dream |
| Ten years old, my Spanish rose |
| You see things you never should have seen |
| Midnight she’s on the street, oh she can’t sleep |
| She’s afraid to dream |
| Ten years old, my Spanish rose |
| You see things you never should have seen |
| (Let me do the guitar solo right here) |
| (I want all you kids to stand right now, come on let me hear y’all) |
| (Wyclef) |
| Keep your head up |
| Cause a new day’s gonna come |
| (Ha, ha) |
| And look towards the sun |
| Some got the darkness all around |
| (All my broke people sing this part right here) |
| Hey, hey, hey, hey |
| Wyclef and Bono |
| Jerry Wonder in the back |
| I let the DJ cut the wax |
| Y’all need to stop it with the violence |
| True Refugee combination |
| Dublin, Brooklyn, New Jersey, ya hear |
| Trying to find a new year |
