Lyrics

[Chorus: John-John] Turn up the boombox, put on your high-tops Come on outside, today's gon' be the day We start livin' in the new world Turn up the boombox, put on your high-tops Come on outside, today's gon' be the day We start livin' in the new world [Verse: Black Thought] Yo, they got high-powered lenses on the cameras outside It ain't nowhere to run, it ain't hardly nowhere to hide They hear you when you whisperin', so try to keep quiet You don't even realize that you'se a twinkle in the all-seein' eye From the time you in the bar gettin' high,  To havin' conversations on your phone through the wire,  You can drive, but it's definitely footage of your ride Livin' in this day and time, it's a funny kind of vibe From the corners of the ceiling, feel its eyes in back of me I couldn't tell you why I think they constantly after me Maybe it's 'cause the news put it to me so graphically How niggas don't obey no laws, not even gravity, boy No benefit of doubt, he had to be wrong,  He from the corner where they known to get they casualty on Another day, another scene to perform, spotlight him on Friday Come and lock him up on Saturday morn' – c'mon [Chorus: John-John] Turn up the boombox, put on your high-tops Come on outside, today's gon' be the day We start livin' in the new world Turn up the boombox, put on your high-tops Come on outside, today's gon' be the day We start livin' in the new world
