lyrics
I love the new me
Nuff a dem can try
But they’ll never outdo me
I took back my life
and now I keep it true to me
And I’m listening to how my mama
School me.. Yeah I love the new me
I went from depressed to blessed
Giving it my best
You’ll never get ahead if you don’t
Take a step, to di left
Right, left right left
Man a real Reggae Souljah to death!
Self improvement, it’s a movement
Care for your mind, before you lose it
Life we’re given, we can’t choose it
So it’s all about what we do with it
They’ll never get the best of me
Switch up di pattern
Flip it back on my enemies
By any means necessary Ima shine
it’s my time, fast forward no rewind
I love the new me
Nuff a dem can try
But they’ll never outdo me
I took back my life
and now dem can’t get through to me
And I’m listening to how my mama
School me.. Yeah I love the new me
(Spoken)
I love the new me
Nuff a dem can try
But they’ll never outdo me
I took back my life
and now I keep it true to me
And I’m listening to how my mama
School me.. Yeah I love the new me
I love the new me
Nuff a dem can try
But they’ll never outdo me
I took back my life
and now dem can’t get through to me
And I’m listening to how my mama
School me.. Yeah I love the new me
