Doin' It Again

I keep doin' it again

I'm doin' it again

Yes, I'm doin' it again

I said it would end

Remix, risin' up out of the flames like a phoenix

Strainin' to carry the weight of my brain like a genius

Knowin' I'm sowin' seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest

If I said it, mean it, I did it because I need it

Eat, sleep it, or bleed it, write it down and then read it

Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk, deleted

I blast off, then lay 'em out like Tempur-pedic

It's Black Thought, for certain I'ma win eventually

This unsung, underrated, under-appreciated

The one them underachievers had underestimated

Finally graduated, I'm one of the most hated

Something that's so sacred, nobody gon' take it

Face it, I keep doin' it well

Doin' is sans assistance, just do it yourself

Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth

Doin' it again for Ill-adelphia, yo, who else?

We gon' do it again

Doin' it again

I'm doin' it again

Yes, I'm doin' it again

I said it would end

Yeah, ayo, I'm on the job, see my eyes, focused where the prize be

Even though they tried to rob me and sabotage the spot

Just like Pac when they got him in the lobby

Try to tax and fine me like Ronald Isley

I's a changed man, ain't no if, ands, or probly's

**** used to know me, they don't even recognize me

Yep, the P-5-D is who the repertoire be

Doin' it again just like Poitier and Cosby

I'm like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney

The difference is, I give it everything inside me

Dear diary, the fans still swear by me

Even though I'm late night now, like here's Johnny

Swimmin' with them great white's now, that's where to find me

Funny how it break right down, but never mind me

Forever grimy, I guess it's just Philly shining

Rock roller, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman

Keep doin' it again

I'm doin' it again

Yes, I'm doin' it again

I said that it would end
