Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against the Wall)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me (say what?), trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

I really be throwing my words, standing 'em up and jamming on the one

That ain't nobody but Neptune bammin' on the drum

Swift flip kicks landing from the tongue

More dramatic than Batman and Robin, ba na na na na

The one that be handling they business be sharper than a thumb tack

The one that be dropping these albums

Showing 'em how to come back

And you gonna respect me and appreciate where I run at

You ain't gone piss me off 'cause you sorry that you done that

I gets meaner, badder, stronger and ferocious

You don't even much wanna see the rest

I'm coming back mo' fearless, mo' determined to fold the set

I ain't even started yet

So if you ain't ready, you better get ready

I know I do it better when I'm being opposed

Ah stick ya chest out, keep your chin up

'Cause sometimes you gotta get knocked down to get up

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

No matter what happened that's only once, it's shame on you

You come up here and do it again, then it's shame on me

Sometimes we be getting in trouble we didn't want learn

Sometimes we be getting in trouble we ain't gone see

I accept my wages like the way that I fail

I grow, I take 'em in stride and put 'em under my belt

I learned from you just like you learned from me

I plead, I pray for peace and perfect harmony

Somebody said, Fool, you better keep on rapping

Stop that tripping, 'cause it ain't gonna happen

I told them, Look you better mind yo business

Change yo' way of thinking and keep on living

That started some trouble and you ain't been out since

'Cause you stuck inside scared, watching CNN

Just take the precaution so yo' life will be better

Tell my friends to call me, I ain't accepting no letters

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

Oh, you heard about me? Yeah, you had to

Mm-hmm, I know you changed ya mind

You ain't the only one with bad news

I know that they made you feel strange, huh

You was right in the middle complaining

And forgot what you was crying 'bout

It could be your time and it might be

You can't do nothing about it, it's God's will, that's just how life be

One day it hit 'cha then it's gone

And I'm serious and you ain't never even gone feel it until it hit home

That's when the pain run sharper and deeper

You ain't eat that's when the days feel slow and long

I know you miss 'em so it's time to uplift 'em

Try to pick the pieces up and find a way to drive on

I tell you the truth, so don't lie to me

Get back, Satan, don't bother me

And that's the way it's gotta be

And real as ever, so I hope you proud of me

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me, trust me

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

(You ain't seen bouncin' back)
