New Day

"When I wake up

I look into the mirror

I can see a clearer

vision

I should start livin today

cause today's gonna be the day

the day's gonna be the day..." (Patty Cash)

"Sunday morning plan my day out

whole new blueprint brand new lay out

deep down still don't know if it'll play out

before the first time it feels like I done found a way out

skin gettin clearer and it feels like I lost weight

stop and say a prayer for the times I lost faith

troubles of the world had me in a crawl space

chicken wing sickening livin so off base

but now it's like I'm in the last lap of the car chase

and I finally understand my right to choose

my preacher man told me it can always be worse

even a three legged dog has three legs to lose

so you can stop and refresh the rules

breath in breath out let it heal all your exit wounds

somethin inside said that that's the move

and maybe today I'll restart fresh and new" (Phonte)

The Day performed by The Roots on the album How I Got Over

I think this is a great opener to the year. The words of this song are from an album that I would seriously consider album of the year. The Roots are an excellent act for "adult" fans of Hip-Hop. If you haven't gotten it, get it ;)
