New Balance

Lyrics

[Intro - DJ scratches, heavy 808 rumble, loud hi-hats ticking, deep male ad-libs in the background]
Yeah, yeah
New crowd, new wave
I was born to lead, not to follow
Turn it up, turn it up

[Verse 1 - moody keyboard bass, hard trap drums, nonstop thumping 808, confident male vocal]
I been walkin’ through the same old room, same old lies
Same small talk, same dark minds, same dead eyes
I need a circle that’s built like gold, sharp and clean
Not a room full of noise with no vision in the scene
I came from the mud, but I’m not stayin’ in it
I got bigger plans, bigger wins, I’m really in it
I don’t chase the crowd, I make the crowd move
Every step I take got a leader’s groove

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered harmonies, DJ cuts, hi-hats speeding up]
I can feel it now, I’m outgrowin’ that space
No more slow minds tryna dim my pace
I need success in the air, ambition in the sound
When I step in, whole new energy comes down

[Chorus - explosive club hook, hard bass, chanting backing vocals, turntable scratches]
I need a new crowd, successful crowd
People with the fire, people proud and loud
Leave the old talks, leave the weak talk behind
I was born to lead, I don’t move like the blind
New beginnings, I’m ridin’ that wave
No more chains, no more games to play
I need a new crowd, take me where I belong
I was born to lead, I was built this strong

[Verse 2 - darker groove, keyboard bass stabs, aggressive trap flow, ad-libs]
I seen too many dreams die young in a lazy room
Too many minds stay trapped, never break through
I’m cut from a cloth that don’t fold, don’t bend
If the path ain’t forward, I don’t follow it, friend
I’m speakin’ with purpose, I’m movin’ with vision
Every move calculated, that’s a leader’s decision
They can stay in the past with the same old sound
I’m already gone, I’m on higher ground

[Bridge - stripped-down bass, echoing vocals, DJ filtering, emotional but strong]
I don’t need approval
I need elevation
I don’t need the usual
I need transformation
From the bottom to the top, I rise
With a new crew and a clear mind

[Final Chorus - bigger drums, louder 808, crowd chants, club energy at full blast]
I need a new crowd, successful crowd
People with the fire, people proud and loud
Leave the old talks, leave the weak talk behind
I was born to lead, I don’t move like the blind
New beginnings, I’m ridin’ that wave
No more chains, no more games to play
I need a new crowd, take me where I belong
I was born to lead, I was built this strong

[Outro - fading DJ scratches, reverb-heavy male ad-libs, bass thumping out]
Born to lead, yeah
Not a follower
New crowd, new life
I’m on my way
