John Legend - Again (Unofficial Remix) lyrics

[Intro] [Sample Quote from “Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood”] [Ashtray's Mother] I don't want you hanging out in the streets. I want you to finish school. ‘Cause without an education, the only kind of work you're gonna get is selling d**, pimping women, or working security for Eddie Murphy. Now, I've done all I can. I got my education, I worked two jobs to support you. But I can't teach you how to be a man. Now, give me a kiss and be a good boy [Akir] Again? Big shout to John Legend. It's Akir. We dedicate this to everybody with they eyes on the prize [Statik Selektah] Statik Selektah, Akir. It's “The Secret.” [Verse 1 – Akir] Song-writing again Gotta show the industry I'm nice, lightning when I strike with the pen Blao! Getting older. Just got sober. But I'm drinking again And we performing at ten. And if she caught it to then Hope I don't f** up my rhymes again I got over. sh**, I'm a soldier I freestyle mean styles until the end But I'm tired of performing the same sh** I had to get back on the street—the hustler's language And though I thought [?] time, my lane switch Free shows, gotta eat mo' the same sh** Promoting, still faking I'm getting much love from my fam But those close to the grams Broke while they shaking my hand So I explain who I am They don't give a f** Only shorty's hitting me up I wanna quit the nicotine, but I light ‘em up again (light ‘em up) And make progress to show change But thug n***as go hard to the cage My OG of old age Complaining of wage. Go back to old ways Almost as slaves I never, ever wanna have to say: goodbye [Verse 2 – John Legend] So I've got a new friend I wish I could forget you but I miss you, wanna kiss you again But she's like you But she not you Gotta find you again We remember again The middle of the summer and I take you out to dinner again Boy, I love her It's not over ‘Cause I love her again
