Baby Boy

It's a whole new ball game It's a brand new fucking day I'm getting back on the grind It's gonna take some time Refocus myself, I gotta train my mind Visions are stalking me, dreams that flock to me 28, not close to where I gotta be Brand-new tunes, killed the summertime blues No retail therapy, or pills or booze I'm not on that vibe anymore, but it took some time Hated waking up, feeling cloudy and hitting rewind Not knowin' what I'd find, no mulligans in this life I was living for the party, and I was blind Shriveled, I was shrunk I was mentally drunk I was cold, I was down I was beating myself I feel hungry now Like a baby boy I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake I'm awake And it's a whole new ball game (it's a whole new ballgame) It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day) It's not the news, I was looking for But for a change, I wasn't hanging I was honest with myself for once Instead of my usual haranguing You'll be banging on my door no more I'm bored, man, of being bored How many more can I afford? Dormant dreams, shelved and stored I feel hungry now Like a baby boy I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake I'm awake And it's a whole new ball game (it's a whole new ballgame) It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day) Shriveled, I was shrunk I was mentally drunk I was cold, I was down I was beating myself I feel hungry now Like a baby boy I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake I'm awake It's a brand-new day (it's a whole new ballgame) It's a brand-new day It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day) It's a brand-new day
