New Man
They told me, "Look before you leap"
I'll take my chances
If we don't, we can never know the answers
I won't place my fate in your hands
Now I know myself
I'm in charge of my own destiny, ah
Chasing perfection
No other option
No room for error
Get off the ground and start again
I am the black sheep (I am the black sheep)
I am the new man (I am the new man)
Unlike no other (unlike no other)
Get off the ground and start again
O-O-On your marks, get set
Go off, baby, show your colour
This that new black sheep
We fly for the ones before us
It's by design, we are royals
They try divide and destroy us
We rise, we fight, they die inside
We light the fire, let them boil, yeah
I was born warrior
I come second to no one
See my skin, hear my tongue, yeah
I'm no man, I'm a god
Now I know myself oh
I am full of wonder
I won't bow or beg oh
Because I know my power
Chasing perfection
No other option
No room for error
Get off the ground and start again
I am the black sheep (I am the black sheep)
I am the new man (I am the new man)
Unlike no other (unlike no other)
Get off the ground and start again
New man, new man
Shed that name they put you in
No more playing dress up to
Prove yourself to no man
You're the new man, new man
Don't play down your nuance
Show yourself just as you are
Whether they like it or not
This thing no be easy riding
One time for my people rising
Upright, now we stand like giants
I don't shine, you no fit whine me
No more hiding, suffer smiling
Hold on blindly, keeping quiet
No more "Yes sir, no sir"
I'm not my father, come and try me
Come and try me
They told me, "Look before you leap"
I'll take my chances
If we don't, we can never know the answers
I won't place my fate in your hands
Now I know myself
I'm in charge of my own destiny, ah
They told me, "Look before you leap"
I'll take my chances
If we don't, we can never know the answers
I won't place my fate in your hands
Now I know myself
I'm in charge of my own destiny, ah
I'll take my chances
If we don't, we can never know the answers
I won't place my fate in your hands
Now I know myself
I'm in charge of my own destiny, ah
Chasing perfection
No other option
No room for error
Get off the ground and start again
I am the black sheep (I am the black sheep)
I am the new man (I am the new man)
Unlike no other (unlike no other)
Get off the ground and start again
