[Chorus]
I keep it doin' it again
Oh, I'm doin' it again
Yes, I'm doin' it again
I said it would end

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 it, 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'm a 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 assistance is 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]

Yeah, hey yo, I'm on a job; see my eyes focused 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's a changed man--ain't no if, ands, or probablies
Niggas used to know me--they don't even recognize me
Yup, 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 grimy, I guess it's just Philly shining
Rock roller, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman

[Chorus]
