I'm the new guy

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 know 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
Obi resu frɛ ne Nyame na boys nnyina hɔ
Nti ɛyɛ a, mo mma m'asum nnwo me na me pɛ m'anim akɔ
M'apromise me fans sɛ kanea na a ɛwɔ m'akyi n'asɔ
Sɛdeɛ me yɛ ne daa ara no T.B Joshua and the Synagogue
M'a rap ama me jacket akyi duduudu no, akyi n'afɔ
Ɛfam awo, ɛnso still a, meretwɛn ama nsuo n'atɔ
Rappers amove me nowadays, shutouts to Senavoe
Rap no firi m'anum, pa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga te sɛ te abɔfrɛ
M'aspeed flow no from kilo to tonnes
Rap firi America but it truly belongs to the blacks, so I'm free to curse on a song
Fuck around with me na me de spanner bɛ choke wo lungs.
Hwan na se rap ny3 den?
We started from '97
Ɛtɔ da bi a anadwo 11
Me ne m'adamfo bi, Kevin
Me no no, we'll be disturbing the neighbourhood, Tema community 9
Still a no, me hu me hood no heaven
Rap no vim ne wɔ mu
Start me track ne mmom
Check, me stamp ne bɔ mu
Seive de scab no bɔ mu
Drop me Sark no nnwom
Na set me trap no bio
Obidi style nni dwom
Dogg, na time nni krom, uh!
24/7 yɛ de me rap no bɔ ɛkotia
I no bore cos it comes with it
Came from the ghetto, deɛn na mo bɛ kyerɛ me?
Me yɛ ɔpabene, my people dey call me Obidiponbidi.

That's why I wake up every morning
I grind, stand up till sun down
Wake up knowing that people expect me to lead 'em to a win
When times are just tough they look at me for answers
Hoping I can lift 'em off from their fears and problems
So I grind, Sunday to Monday,
That I'm that new guy.

[Verse 2, Ace Hood]

The beast of the South, on my worstest behaviour, don't 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 counting cheese nigga
Black man in a fuckin' Bimma
Got a tipper toeing like a ballerina
Diamonds water water like it's aquifina.
Serving bitches like the new subpoena
Only pieces on my cuban chain
Sell ya soul and get a birth of fame
Bought some waters with a broad damage in the stores, damn, not a thing changed
Protesters is another lesson
Prison cells are getting too congested
Righteous living, fuck a suicide
New guys wearing suit and ties
Bossing up instead of talking nice
Shooting guys, prison time
Stacking money, build an enterprise
Be the one who niggas idolize
Counting money till my palms hurt
I remember they was way worse
Momma praying everyday at church
Being broke and every second hurts
Tryna shine boy you gotta grind, and just wait on time
That's just how it works
Good in the hood with my street tithes
I can't say the same for you new guys.

[Hook]

That's why I wake up every morning
I grind, stand up till sun down
Wake up knowing that people expect me to lead 'em to a win
When times are just tough they look at me for answers
Hoping I can lift 'em off from their fears and problems
So I grind, Sunday to Monday
That I'm that new guy.

[Verse 3, Sarkodie and Ace Hood]

Ace, Lemme take you to Africa
My people, they love you
I came here, you showed me some love and I promise to build you a statue, uh!
Ace Hood, akwaaba
And Sark is a hell of a nation
M'asign wo din wɔ Kumasi, m'apem so, nyɛ adeɛ a, wo bɛ hia confirmation so..
Sark medaase
I'm the new Pac in the projects
Welcome Sarkodie, the United States where they selling narcotics
It's a pleasure my nigga
Now let's go and get the money bags
Haters hating, they will never last
Came too far and we ain't looking back!

[Hook]

That's why I wake up every morning
I grind, stand up till sun down
Wake up knowing that people expect me to lead 'em to a win
When times are just tough they look at me for answers
Hoping I can lift 'em off from their fears and problems
So I grind, Sunday to Monday
That I'm that new guy.
