New day
It doesn't matter how much cash you toss
All the money and status you've got
Could be gone in a split second
But the same goes for me
So if you make more money than me
Then I want that same cash for myself
Eindhoven waited too long
The Netherlands waited too long
'Cause I wanted to think wider than my city
Drop harder than expected
And I'd already earned respect
If I didn't get it I took it from them
I didn't hang with freeloaders anymore
Wanted to shake them off
So my brother Karim showed me the roads
And I took the steps
Came packed 'cause I was
Too fast for all those lame dudes
'Cause they thought they
Could wait for their chances on their own
I'm taking steps forward now
No time to doubt, I work hard for my loot
Now I'm often onstage rapping with a fat belly
This ain't yesterday, now I laugh at them, it's a
New day
No, I hadn't thought of this yesterday
The sky clears and I see my
Pow-e-e-e-e-e-e-er, Yeah
It's the start of a
New day
I don't hold on to the negative anymore
I pay tomorrow with the chances I
Ta-a-a-a-a-ake, Yeah yeah
It's the start of a
New day
It's quarter to seven
I'm awake before the alarm goes off
Work to be done
Writing while you keep on sleeping
I won't talk further
Put the record on, let your eyes listen
The verses and photos
16 bars 1000 words
Opening new paths
Not called but chosen
See the route, follow the tracks
We enjoy the morning glow
Yeah, Yeah
I don't join the race, but a
Day not written is a day not lived
My pen bleeds, people act like it's a nosebleed
My pen does me good, like it's a choice
So we're changing the game
Acting right away
Others are lame on a national scale
Call those rappers disgraceful
Ridiculous, Fresku knows the way
Walk along with me
The sun shines, the earth's like the Garden of Eden
Wake up and pick your life
I tell you it's a
New day
No, I hadn't thought of this yesterday
The sky clears and I see my
Pow-e-e-e-e-e-e-er, Yeah
It's the start of a
New day
I don't hold on to the negative anymore
I pay tomorrow with the chances I
Ta-a-a-a-a-ake, Yeah yeah
It's the start of a
New day
They say you're my favorite
But I wasn't yet
Before I rapped so sometimes I react
Gonna save hip hop
Kid, please
Hip hop saved me
Those shoes don't fit
I couldn't set myself apart
Anymore unless I fit on beats
So I write all my tracks
With a statement as a strategy
Thinking up plans
No time for people hanging around
I work hard for my cents
Cell phones with subscriptions
Working on my album
I let the weaklings notice
That they can't bring a f*ck
Except busting and bragging
He-he he-he
Whoever doesn't work doesn't eat
So I won't stop
I have no option
Wanted to eat off my hobby
And now I'm on the remix with your top three
Akwasi and Typhoon
How lucky he is
What does that mean for that track with the four of us?
A new day
I'm so happy, I wanna celebrate, it's a
New day
No, I hadn't thought of this yesterday
The sky clears and I see my
Pow-e-e-e-e-e-e-er, Yeah
It's the start of a
New day
I don't hold on to the negative anymore
I pay tomorrow with the chances I
Ta-a-a-a-a-ake, Yeah yeah
It's the start of a
New day
Yesterday was yesterday, kid, this is a
New day
No time to slack, it's grinding, it's a
New day
Rappers move too slow
New day
This is a new day
It's a new day
Yesterday was yesterday, kid, this is a
New day
No time to slack, it's grinding, it's a
New day
Rappers move too slow
New day
This is a new day
It's a
New day!

SONG MEANING

Nieuwe Dag feels like waking up to sunshine after a long storm. Fresku and Winne rap about shaking off yesterday’s doubts, fake friends, and empty status symbols, then diving straight into hustle mode. Money can vanish in a snap, so the real wealth is their drive: getting up before the alarm, bleeding lyrics onto the page, and turning every small chance into tomorrow’s paycheck.

The song is a motivational pep-talk wrapped in Dutch hip hop. Each verse shouts, “Gisteren was gisteren” (“Yesterday was yesterday”) and urges listeners to step forward with fresh energy, creative vision, and self-belief. It celebrates hard work, positivity, and the idea that every sunrise is an open door—so grab it, own it, and make this nieuwe dag your best one yet.
