DJ Serious - Again lyrics

[Chorus] Never thought I would be right here like this But I knew I could and would not this Thought I was gone and I disappear Guess you were wrong when your call this year Heard when you said that I would not win That's when I knew I could right then Just when you thought that it all might end Here I am again, again, again [Masta Ace] Four score and 7 years before Erik and Rakim never came in the door I was rapping on the mic the same as before (yup) Just claiming i'm raw, aim at the wall I was some dumb little crumb from the slum Typical young bum with a slong full of cum Did dirty like I hate water Neighbourhood 2 dollar punk like 8 quarters Never thought i'd pa** one cla** to get through college I was writing tags on the wall with shoe polish Nylon Dead wrong, but still walked with a smile on Hood routes over good times I took lines took their names and put mine It's safe to stay I came a long way Didn't think you'd be here today, did ya? [Chorus] Never thought I would be right here like this But I knew I could and would not this Thought I was gone and I disappear Guess you were wrong when your call this year Heard when you said that I would not win That's when I knew I could right then Just when you thought that it all might end Here I am again, again, again [Masta Ace] It's hard to believe i'm still right here I'm on a slight tear and I refuse to fight fair Cast on my shine reduced to a light glare Turn around and I'm right there, like a bad nightmare I'm prolific, every song I flow different, every verse of my sh**, I spit so terrific I'm lost like some lost punk of course i'm a dump You walk in a club and hear my song's heard, jump! Bounce Whatever you n***as do now All you rap dudes acting all new now Y'all cats you walk in the park Come through at night you get caught in the dark I spot you from long range and I shorten the mark You can pay off like a bee sting Noah bought in the ark You tremblin', back in the gym again Yup, it's him again Here I am again Come on [Chorus] Never thought I would be right here like this But I knew I could and would not this Thought I was gone and I disappear Guess you were wrong when your call this year Heard when you said that I would not win That's when I knew I could right then Just when you thought that it all might end Here I am again, again, again I sound raw but cats pray for my downfall Gonna leave you y'all in the same place where I found y'all On the sidelines Y'all a bunch of bench warmers We're intense performers and our rent's enormous Ya wait, hoping that I fail when I open the mail It's an a**-cap check And i'll cash that cheque Rehearsing the sh** Purpose of this sh** Every person I get, excited Rappers be like: Let's fight it Understand the urge my n***a but you best fight it Don't think y'all get cold hunches I spit sh** that makes cats throw punches Y'all just mad cuz I still got what I had I'm like your friend and your dad with a pen and pad In the next 5 years y'all love me And like Macy Grey its' about to get real ugly [Chorus] Never thought I would be right here like this But I knew I could and would not this Thought I was gone and I disappear Guess you were wrong when your call this year Heard when you said that I would not win That's when I knew I could right then Just when you thought that it all might end Here I am again, again, again
