Lyrics
I keep it doin' it again
I continue to repeat the process
Oh, I'm doin' it again
Oh, I am engaging in it once more
Yes, I'm doin' it again
Yes, I am repeating the action again
I said it would end
I mentioned that it would conclude
Remix, rising up out of the flames like a phoenix
A revised version, emerging from challenges like a phoenix
Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius
Struggling to bear the burden of my intellect like a genius
Knowing I'm sowing seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest
Aware that I'm planting seeds, let's see whose efforts are the most successful
If I said "I mean it", I did it because I need it
If I declared "I mean it," I executed it out of necessity
Eat, sleep it or bleed it, write it down and then read it
Live, breathe it, or endure it, jot it down, then absorb it
Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk, deleted
From the streets to the concrete, your negative talk, erased
I blast off then lay 'em out like a Tempurpedic
I launch forcefully and arrange them systematically like a Tempurpedic mattress
It's Black Thought, for certain I'mma win eventually
It's Black Thought, undoubtedly, I will triumph eventually
This unsung, underrated, under-appreciated
This is an unrecognized, undervalued, and underappreciated narrative
The one them underachievers had underestimated
The one that those who fall short had miscalculated
Finally graduated from one of the most hated
Finally moved beyond being one of the most disliked
To something that's so sacred, nobody goin' take it
To something so revered, no one will take it away
Face it, I keep doin' it well
Accept it, I consistently perform well
Doin' it sans assistance, just do it yourself
Doing it without help, just do it independently
Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth
Operating below the radar, executing it stealthily
Doin' it again for Illadelph, yo, who else?
Repeating it for Illadelph (Philadelphia), who else?
We goin' do it again!
We are going to do it again!
I keep it doin' it again
I persist in repeating the process
Oh, I'm doin' it again
Oh, I am engaging in it once more
Yes, I'm doin' it again
Yes, I am repeating the action again
I said it would end
I mentioned that it would conclude
Ayo I'm on my job, see my eyes focused where the prize be
I am focused on my responsibilities; my eyes are on the prize
Even though they tried to rob me and sabotage the spot
Despite attempts to steal from me and undermine the situation
Just like 'Pac when they got him in the lobby
Similar to 'Pac when they confronted him in the lobby
Try to tax and fine me like Ronald Isley
Attempting to impose taxes and fines, akin to what happened to Ronald Isley
I's a changed man, ain't no again's or probably's
I am a changed person; there are no repeats or uncertainties
Niggas used to know me, they don't even recognise me
People who used to know me don't even recognize me
Yep, the P-5-D is who the repertoire be
Indeed, the P-5-D is my artistic repertoire
Doin' it again just like Poitier and Cosby
Repeating the process like Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby
I'm like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney
I am comparable to Martin Luther King; you are akin to Rodney
The difference is I give it everything inside me
The distinction is that I give it my all
Dear diary, the fans still swear by me
Addressing my experiences in a personal journal, fans continue to believe in me
Even though I'm Late Night now like "Here's Johnny"
Even though I'm part of Late Night now, like "Here's Johnny"
Swimming with them Great Whites now, that's where to find me
Engaging with formidable challenges now, that's where you can find me
Funny how it break right down, but never mind me
Interesting how it breaks down, but don't pay attention to me
Forever grimey, I guess it's just Philly shining
Perpetually gritty, it seems to be Philly shining
Rock roller, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman
Rock and roll lifestyle, fluctuating emotions like Phyllis Hyman
