[Intro: Pharrell Williams]

Now they saying we too harsh!

New verses, please! C'mon!


[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & (Malice)]

Hot damn! It's a new day!

Hot damn! But them boys want the (money, man)

Hoo-oooo, hoo-oooo

Hoo-oooo (What you say, what you say?)

Hot damn!


[Verse 1: Malice]

My, how the boy's grown

From roaming low-income homes to homes of his own

No catching up, he's in a whole n'other zone

Still true to his roots, stay close to the chrome

Haters stay clear of 'em, y'all stand cheer for him

Got up out the game and overcame, let's hear it for him

Keep a new toy, so I wonder how could

I not enjoy life, I'm reliving my childhood

Big chain monster, whip game bonkers

Monster truck remind him of Tonka

Diamond F color, plush gold, still gutter

My deal is in the mils, motherfucker, and I ain't stutter

Bittersweet, my life's a musical

From holding nose to rose gold, the Lord's beautiful

Before him, I'm too shamed to show my face

But shit's so mean can't help but to fall from grace, motherfucker


[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & (Malice)]

Hot damn! It's a new day!

Hot damn! But them boys want the (money, man)

Hoo-oooo, hoo-oooo

Hoo-oooo (What you say, what you say?)

Hot damn!


[Verse 2: Ab Liva]

Hot damn, when the white hit the pan

It twists and it tumbles, it flips and it fumbles

I mix it like gumbo, I pitch it so subtle

I keep hustlers puzzled, Feds, I got 'em wondering

(Wondering) "What happened to that boy?"

Six maneuver, how'd I slip into that toy?

Is it the pimp, the crook, the hustler thing?

The man, the music, they're making a king

I'm simply building my Ming, a million men marching like Khan

The King Kong of verse, making the world sing

My heart's on the sleeve for dark faces just like mine

Peeking through bars, hoping the sun shines on 'em

But you still got to watch the phonies

Watch your homies, we {*gunshots*} got you, homie


[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & (Malice)]

Hot damn! It's a new day!

Hot damn! But them boys want the (money, man)

Hoo-oooo, hoo-oooo

Hoo-oooo (What you say, what you say?)

Hot damn!

[Verse 3: Pusha T & Pharrell Williams]

Yuugh, handled the rock like none other

Wrist over the stove, head under the cupboard

In the kitchen 'til the fume make me feel smothered

The way it melt, fiends can't believe it's not butter

The way it melt, he won't cop from none other

Then he who holds O's like Krispy Kreme's oven

Or Easy Bake, pink DBs make

The Presidential look like strawberry shortcake – P

Imagine that Rolls-Royce crashed and me unscratched

In that Billionaire Boys Club fashion, uh

You niggas is clones, I hand out styles like ice cream cones

The fuck outta here

That's for real, my gats is real, 

SL 5 is lookin' like the Batmobile

Chrome lips with the matching wheels, uh

Both chains probably match your deal

Y'all dudes is an act for real, Pusha


[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & (Malice)]

Hot damn! It's a new day!

Hot damn! But them boys want the (money, man)

Hoo-oooo, hoo-oooo

Hoo-oooo (What you say, what you say?)

Hot damn!


[Verse 4: Roscoe P. Coldchain]

Neither the sun or death can be looked at, that's what a O.G. told me

That was the exact moment I decided to take a pack

And if you owe me, and if I decided to take it back, 

It wasn't nicely, expect Roscoe to put you back –

In place, I'm on what you call a destructive warpath

It'll be shell showers in today's forecast

You a gangsta? I can't tell

Your diamonds don't glimmer when the light hit it

Those jewels aren't genuine, 

Because if they was – I'm nice with it, I would'a been took that

That skinny stack in your pocket, I would'a been shook that

In this world, you gotta watch it, I'm hear to warn ya

Cats turn informer, over snow wrapped in wax

My son's home cryin', don't give me no slack

Just put the motherfucking money in the bag

These words are being said as I hide behind glove and mask

Coldchain's not your typical crook, 

I'm being watched – look at the camera lens in the bush


[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & (Malice)]

Hot damn! It's a new day!

Hot damn! But them boys want the (money, man)

Hoo-oooo, hoo-oooo

Hoo-oooo (What you say, what you say?)

Hot damn!
