It's a new year
Now they pouring drinks on beat
But for me, no thanks
I'll just take some sweet
With a lemon please
With my black eye peas, my greens and my fish
That's a new years dish
Plus, I ain't trying to do much
Just can I get perhaps a smile and a laugh
In the morning, yes, I'm trying to go to work
Yeah, I'm trying to get that time and a half
I got a few bills that I want to pay off
So, I can't take off
Can't stay too late
I'll just catch y'all next time
And if not until I'm loosed from some knots
Then well maybe we can just face time
Cause we all got to face that time
I ain't trying to be in the same place next year
Nope, I forbid
I know you think I'm just talking
Cause I said the same thing last year
Yeah, I did
But this time not the same
I'm already doing what it takes for that change
I'm just telling you because I want the proof
Cause when I do it, I can say
Didn't I tell you what I was gonna do
And go ahead
You can ask me how I done it
I'm not ashamed
I can tell you how I won it
I changed my mind
Yeah, I changed some ways
And with that, I had the right to expect better days
This is my year, Happy New Year to me
This is my year, Happy New Year to me
And this is your year, too
So Happy New Year to you
This is our year, Happy New Year
Yeah, this is our year of jubilee
We closer to dreams
Yes, we're closer to destiny
It's like, we're in touch with Divine
Telling us, this is our time
No longer blind
Look, we can read the signs
And we got stars that shine
Shine to remind us that dreams come true
And open doors are designed for us to walk through
So okay, yeah, we're walking with a groove
Yeah, yeah - we're walking like we got some good news
We making moves make you think that we're dancing
One step, two step
Oh, we taking chances
When you see me, you like
Okay, get it, girl
Yeah, I be like
Watch me get it, get it world
Despite my failures, despite my fears
I am with I am
So, yeah- I am here... cause
This is my year, Happy New Year to me
This is my year, Happy New Year to me
And this is your year, too
So happy new year to you
This is our year, Happy New Year
This is our year, Happy New Year
This is our year, Happy New Year
Wait, can we get a moment of silence
For those that didn't make it to the new year
But maybe this year
This year we can get a cure
Cause every time that He didn't heal miraculous
Then you know that He placed the miracle in us
So, I'm praying for you students in the field
Cause it is God's will
Yes, for all to be healed
So, lets chase good health like the woman and His hem
Make it practical- I see you in the gym,
With mo feta, eating the best cheddar, yum
And not the best we can choose from
This is our year, Happy New Year to ya
This is our year, Happy New Year
This is our year of jubilee
This is our year of unity
Where we will be on one accord
Like, I'm get mines and say
Can I help you with yours
And I ain't talking about no socialism
I'm just talking about social wisdom
That says we are all tied to one another
Like a sister and like a brother
So, from my family to yours
I pray that the One, Whom, created us all
Bless us all
With better health, more peace, and more love
This is our year
This is our year, Happy New Year to ya
This is our year, Happy New Year to ya
This is our year, Happy New Year to ya
