Dallas Austin - This Time Around lyrics

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson] This time around I never get bit Though you really want to fix me This time around you're making me sick Though you really want to get me Somebody's out, somebody's out to get me You really want to fix me, hit me But this time around I'm taking no sh** Though you really want to get me, you really want to get me [Chorus: Michael Jackson] (x2) He really thought he really had a hold of me He really thought, they thought they really had control of me [Verse 2: Michael Jackson] This time around I'm not going to get bit Though you really want to get me But this time around I'm taking no sh** Though you really want to fix me Somebody's out, somebody's out to use me You really want to use me and falsely accuse me This time around don't treat me like spit Though you really can't control me [Chorus] [Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G.] Listen I got problems of my own Flashing cameras taps on my phone Even in my home I aren't safe as I should be Things always missing Maybe it could be my friends But they aren't friends if they robbing me Stopping me from making a profit see Apology shallow like the ocean I guess I'll resort to gun-toting If I was dead broke and smoking I'd probably be by my lonesome I'm a k** a n***a I aren't joking Indo smoke got me choking I'm hoping a fool come slipping so I can blow him open This time around I changed up my flow Got rid of the rots got pits by the door A real set of peoples to watch my back Stay away from strangers so I won't slack And I know my n***a Mike like that baby [Chorus]
