about
New World... A New Beginning for Hit The Fan
lyrics
I've achieved nothing for so long, it's an achievment in itself
And the journey I'v embarked upon has made me someone else
And the person I've become will never run from what he's done...
I recognize HIT THE FAN ERA HAS BEGUN!
Time for self evaluation, Time for self improvement,
Time to LEAD a generation contributing to the movement,
Ready and willing and able, laying my cards on the table,
Like a 'Man On A Mission', heavy like Mable,
With a WWF nostalgic disorder,
Clutch a camel with a camel clutch, Sargent, like Slaughter
Randy Macho Man who's Savage when it comes to the daughter,
Even if he didn't everybody thought that he ought-ta
With Excellence of Execution, ready for a revolution,
We take a step towards hereditary evolution,
We gotta be better than ever, ready like never before,
Are you waiting for a window? Or Kicking down the door?
(chorus)
To the 17 year old who is writing his first rhyme,
Sniffing his first line and losing his first mind
And missing the first sign as he walks down the track...
Welcome to the New World, There's NO Turning Back,
To The 22 year old who opportunity snubs,
Taking all these drugs and fucking in these clubs
And rolling with these Thugs, see his Soul Turn Black!
Welcome to the New World, There's No Turning Back!
Well, even now I look into the mirror feeling cynical
But when I'm at my pinnacle I'm nothing less than clinical!
It's hypocritical to say that I'm invincible,
Ask me off the record, I say I'm not convinced at all!
Make a tune, then we 'made it', the radio played it,
You love it or hated it but TELL me WHERE do WE take it?
Feeling Bitter and Faded forever Jealous and Jaded,
We opened up the gates and EVERYBODY's army invaded!
My five year plan failed TWICE in a row,
17... 27... Fuck, Where did it go?
Part of me rejoices at the fruits that I've tasted,
But the bigger part is YEARNING for the years that I've wasted
This is NOT an apology, there's nothing I regret,
I don't NEED your forgiveness don't you EVER forget,
Just no more empty promises of what we're 'gonna' do,
See you in 5 years, when we're both 32...
(chorus)
