New Again (Original) Lyrics
[Intro: Kanye West]
If I hit you with a "W-Y-D?"
You better not hit me with a "H-E-Y"
It better be like "Hiii" with a bunch of I's
Or "Heyyy" with a bunch of Y's
I, I lived a hundred lives, uh
So that mean I had a hundred wives
And I am just simply high off life for the hundredth time
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Never let nobody curve me that don't deserve me
Should I really have bought the Burberry last Thursday?
Wear a different color jersey every Thursday
'Posed to meet in Malibu, you postin' pics in Jersey
Is to lay me or play me a bigger flex though?
'Cause you know you'd never live up to my ex though
If we dive, it's the deep end, baby, let's go
I'll be gone by the weekend, baby, XO
[Refrain: Kanye West]
Most insane out-of-body experience
And I repent for everything I'ma do again (I accept Him)
And I repent for everything I'ma do again
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Is it too late for second chances?
Give my life to gain your blessings
Trade my pain for all the pleasure
Let your peace sustain my mental
Is it too late for second chances?
Love so toxic and romantic
When you rich, you can't imagine
I pray your peace sustains my mental
Forgive me Father for I have sinned
Over and over again, oh
Temptation got hold of me 'gain, oh
But I ain't doing nothing to change at all (Ooh)
I ended up with her and then
Plot twist, now I'm with her best friend
Next thing I know, I'm in a group text
Now we havin' group sex
Damn, I love this shit
It's a lifestyle, can't let go of it
Nothing compares to the perks when you off Percs
Every day I serve, swear they keep me smilin' at my worst, yeah
If I hit you with a "W-Y-D?"
You better not hit me with a "H-E-Y"
It better be like "Hiii" with a bunch of I's
Or "Heyyy" with a bunch of Y's
I, I lived a hundred lives, uh
So that mean I had a hundred wives
And I am just simply high off life for the hundredth time
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Never let nobody curve me that don't deserve me
Should I really have bought the Burberry last Thursday?
Wear a different color jersey every Thursday
'Posed to meet in Malibu, you postin' pics in Jersey
Is to lay me or play me a bigger flex though?
'Cause you know you'd never live up to my ex though
If we dive, it's the deep end, baby, let's go
I'll be gone by the weekend, baby, XO
[Refrain: Kanye West]
Most insane out-of-body experience
And I repent for everything I'ma do again (I accept Him)
And I repent for everything I'ma do again
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]

[Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Kanye West, Kanye West]
Thank You, thank You, thank You for Your mercy, make me new
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
I repent for everything that I'ma do again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again
Last night don't count
This morning don't count
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
If you take the ride, please don't close your eyes, uh
In a den of thieves, every man disguise, uh
Keep your mask on, keep it hanitized, uh
It's a rollercoaster, keep your hands inside, huh
Speakin' on your name, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, uh
Wanna bring you shame, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, uh
Wanna bring you pain, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, uh
Did it for the fame, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, uh
When they start to lie, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, huh
Thank You, thank You, thank You for Your mercy, make me new
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
I repent for everything that I'ma do again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again
Last night don't count
This morning don't count
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
If you take the ride, please don't close your eyes, uh
