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
