New Year, Same Circle

[Intro]
Yeah
New year
Same crew
New level
[Verse 1]
Woke up on January first like, "Run it"
Same ones round me from the jump, we done it
Group chat blowin' with the goals, we gunnin'
Turned all Ls into lessons, that’s summin'
They said "be realistic"
That’s code for "I quit, you should miss it"
I heard doubt in they tone, not my spirit
I see fear in they eyes, I don't hear it
You wasn’t with me in the dark, stay out my daylight
You ain't build nothin', you just backseat stage lights
Hate in your mouth, got decay, that’s a dead bite
We the ones grindin' while you talkin' what it "ain’t like"
[Chorus]
New year, same circle, we lit
Middle fingers up to the ones that quit
If you never had faith, you can stay where you sit
You said I can’t do it
Watch me do it, do it
New year, same circle, that’s fam
All gas, new levels, that’s the plan
If you never believed, you don’t get to say "damn"
You said I can’t do it
Watch me do it, do it
[Verse 2]
Cousin text, "I’m proud," that fuel
Old friend sneak dissin', that’s cool
You project what you fear, that’s you
I protect what I build, that’s truth
Toast in the kitchen, cheap cups, big dreams
We ain’t rich yet, but we rich in the team
We gon' laugh at these days when we step on the scene
Like, "Remember when they doubted?" now we live in they screens
You talk small, I talk outcomes
You toss shade, I toss albums
You throw stones, we throw mountains
Turnin' all that trash talk into fountains
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If you never clapped when I had nothin'
Don’t come around when the bag start bustin'
If you never rode when the tank was low
Don’t try to hop in when the dash on glow
We up
Same ones that stayed when it sucked
Same ones that prayed when we stuck
Day ones, day ones, aye, that’s us
[Chorus]

rap, Hard-hitting boom-bap with modern trap edges, male vocals. Tight drum groove and sub-heavy bass carry a confident, head-nod bounce. Verses stay raw and percussive with sparse piano stabs; hook explodes with stacked chant vocals and crowd-style ad-libs. Subtle risers into each chorus, leaving space between bars for punchlines to land., hip hop
