The Roots - Doin' It Again lyrics

[Chorus: John Legend] I keep it doin' it again Oh, I'm doin' it again Yes, I'm doin' it again I said it would end [Black Thought] Uh, remix, rising up out of the flames like a Phoenix Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius Knowing I'm sowing seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest If I said I 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, delete it I blast off then lay 'em out like a 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' it sans a**istance, just do it yourself Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth Doin' it again for Illadelph, yo who else? We gon' do it again! [Chorus] [Black Thought] Yeah, aiyyo I'm on a job, see my eyes focussed 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, you'll find me like Ronald Isley I is a changed man, hanging with fans are probablies n***as used to know me, they don't even recognise 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" Swimming with them Great Whites now, that's where to find me Funny how it break right down, but never mind me Forever grimey, I guess it's just Philly shining Rock roller, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman [Chorus]
