Intro:
New life
New life
New life
I just want a new life
Verse 1:
It’s 2013, my life is about to change dramatically
But little did I know, it sparked a distant personality
But it was too much for my mind to process automatically
It changed the way I think, the way I act, the way I am massively
See what happened is actually quite tragic
And to reverse it, you’d need a pile of magic
And some luck, a 4-leaf clover and a hat-trick
A leprechaun dancing circles for St. Patrick
Get back to it, side-tracked, I’m talking ‘bout Mum and Dad
This is a problem, it made all of us eternally sad
It took away all of the love that our family had
20 years, 20 years! What about that
Anyway, on Mum’s Birthday, we gave her the gifts
I could feel the pressure on her start to lift
What’s this? I remember like it was yesterday
Next thing, me and Dylan got sent to Aunty Kath’s for the day
How was I supposed to know what was going on
But sure enough, I’d find out that day what was up with Mum
I remember her out the front of the house crying on the step
I just glanced over and saw Grandma helping Mum catch her breath
Anyway, Dad came and got us from Kath’s, they called a meeting
They laid the bad news, all 4 of us weeping
Then we discussed the arrangements with sleeping
And then felt the effects of this problem creep in
Chorus 1:
It’s all I want, a fresh start
My soul is dying, I’ve been stabbed in the heart
You tell me that I’m losing and maybe, you right
But right now, all I want’s a new life
It’s all I want, a fresh start
My soul is dying, I’ve been stabbed in the heart
You tell me that I’m losing and maybe, you right
But right now, all I want’s a new life
Verse 2:
Within a week, Dad moved out
It felt different, alternate route
Found a house without a doubt
They’re not getting back together, we can stop the count
So, me and Dyl saw Dad on Tuesdays and Thursdays
And stayed with Mum, on weekdays, there’s been worse days
Stayed with Dad on weekends to Sunday
And got back to Mum for school on Monday
But some days I think back, see there’s things I ain’t telling you
I can’t bear to look at our old house it’s too killing to
And it’s depressing mood makes me feel like my emotions I’m selling you
Have you ever got so attached to something that it feels like it’s missing you
Well listen to me, I was a kid back then
But it had gone on for weeks, they were fighting back then
I remember that night we were at the house, they were in the shed
While me and Dyl were playing chase, but listening to them
It was the most sickening feeling
Just back and forth attacking wars
They called us in and spat a talk
They ain’t agreeing, that was soft
It threw me like a catapult, I was flung from my life
And then I discovered the pen and I started to write
Chorus 2:
It’s all I want, a fresh start
My soul is dying, I’ve been stabbed in the heart
I feel like I’m winning and maybe I’m right
But I think for now, I still want a new life
It’s all I want, a fresh start
My soul is dying, I’ve been stabbed in the heart
I feel like I’m winning and maybe I’m right
But I think for now, I still want a new life
Verse 3:
Now here I am, I’ve just released my first album, I was happy
I’ve been titled the best rapper in my school but I was snappy
Maybe cause I knew something that everyone else was lacking
What you know about writing about absolutely nothing while your family’s napping
And people wonder why I’m crappy, but it’s fine now
Because right now, I’ve learnt how to get a rhyme out
My lifestyle is way different now that I’ve found
A way to release my mind’s doubt, but I’m crying out for help
I’ve learnt that wealth ain’t what life’s about
But if I didn’t have rap, I’d be dying right now
My mind’s crowded, but they think I was just born like this
With the gift of the song writing built into my fingertips
Well picture this, 5 years straight of non-stop writing
Perform it at school while even my friends ain’t liking
What’s the point? I spend the hours thinking and envisioning metaphors
While they listen to me like my rhymes are extinct like a Tyrannosaurus
But then of course, I was born with it aye
Well that’s okay, I guess now my life ain’t looking so grey
Chorus 3:
It feels like I’ve had a fresh start
I’ve found a subject that has filled my heart
And now I’ve discovered my true identity, Sun Light
And right now, I don’t want a new life
It feels like I’ve had a fresh start
I’ve found a subject that has filled my heart
And now I’ve discovered my true identity, Sun Light
And right now, I don’t want a new life
Cause I’m Sun Light
