Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It don't take much strength to pull a trigger
But try and get up every morning day after day and work for a living
Let's see 'em try that
Then we'll see who's the real tough guy
The workin' man is a tough guy
[Verse 2]
Party people say, party people say
Aye, it's a new day, it's a new day
The world is gettin' ready, everybody ready
Aye, for a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
[Verse 3]
I woke up this morning thinkin' 'bout the old me
When I was feelin' like Miller Lite and OE
But now I ride on some conscious shit
I'm gettin' bread while I toast to my accomplishments
Folding one like I have a problem when it's myself
It's probably why my only competition is myself
From today to tomorrow
The Doctor is rockin' the same drum
Fuck the past, though I ain't forgot where I came from
Uh, I got the club rockin', uh
I got your girl jockin', uh
Me and Fif' still in this bitch, bitch
We goin' the distance with you
Party people, come on
[Verse 4]
Party people say, party people say
Aye, it's a new day, it's a new day
The world is gettin' ready, everybody ready
Aye, for a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
[Verse 5]
Now you can get your knees on the church floor
Pray it get better
Or push the door on the liquor store, see where it get you
But me, I got to be on top
I said, me I got to be on top
I got the street on lock
I'm on automatic pilot, ain't nobody startin' me
Growin' up in poverty ain't filled my heart with larceny
**** ride, I don't hide
I dump to get 'em off me
I'm a leader, look to see the natural-born boss of me
They from Bel Air, I'm from the bottom
(Aye)
Soon as I spot 'em I get to drop 'em
I got 'em, I cut my piece and I dot 'em
It's dinner time when the 9 come out
It's off with the chain, off with the brain
Move, bang, off with ya brain
Now
[Verse 6]
Party people say, party people say
Aye, it's a new day, it's a new day
The world is gettin' ready, everybody ready
Aye, for a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
[Verse 7]
Clocks on the wall
It's now or never at all
I'm gonna give it my all
Oh, whoa, whether I rise or fall
Oh, whoa
[Verse 8]
True story, I said I'd get rich or die trying
I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine
Nothin' matter but the music, music my first love
We paper chasin', I'm always comin' in first, 'cause
I'm built for it, see, I'm better under pressure
I react like a maniac when I'm comin' to get ya
I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching
Fuck that, losin' ain't an option
I'm sharp, I'm on point
The ink from my ballpoint
Throwin' out my pain
I'm back on my A-game
I'm focused, for me this is just another victory
Except that I'm stronger than an ox now, mentally
[Verse 9]
Party people say, party people say
Aye, it's a new day, it's a new day
World is gettin' ready, everybody's ready
Aye, for a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
A-a-a-a-aye, aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye
