[Verse 1]
Happy New Year, I’m back outside
Left that hate in the dust, let it slide
Old grudge? Nah, I’m cutting it loose
New page, fresh paint, fresh juice
See me walk with the head up high
Same block, new spark in the eye
If they throw shade, I don’t stall
I just move like I built this wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, close that door
I’m not carrying that anymore
One more breath, one more beat
Clean slate under my feet
[Chorus]
Happy New Year!
Leave the haters here
Happy New Year!
We’re going up from here
Knicks on the chip
Tell ’em, “watch this”
Happy New Year!
New York, thrive this year
[Verse 2]
My resolution got a skyline view
Seeing NYC thrive, that’s the move
More green on the corner, more hope in the air
More kids with dreams and a reason to care
From the Bronx to Queens, let it ring out loud
Brooklyn nodding heads in the middle of the crowd
I want the whole town shining in the frame
Every block on fire, but we built that flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, close that door
I’m not carrying that anymore
One more breath, one more beat
Clean slate under my feet
[Chorus]
Happy New Year!
Leave the haters here
Happy New Year!
We’re going up from here
Knicks on the chip
Tell ’em, “watch this”
Happy New Year!
New York, thrive this year
[Bridge]
If the road gets rough, I don’t fold
I got big city lungs, and a heart of gold
One dream, one team, one shot, one crown
Watch the whole thing rise when the sun goes down
[Chorus]
Happy New Year!
Leave the haters here
Happy New Year!
We’re going up from here
Knicks on the chip
Tell ’em, “watch this”
Happy New Year!
New York, thrive this year
