The Roots, John-John - Livin' in a New World lyrics

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

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 youse 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
It's 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 Saturday morn, c'mon

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
