[Sample]:

"Do it again"

[Verse One]:

Let me tell you about the story of mine

80 Grand my advance, put my name on the line

I was young and hot, I was ready for a spot

Next Kanye and Common, 'Fest and Mark Ronson

Press was respondin'

Critically acclaimed, he like a mix between street and conscious

With humor, charisma, fresh for the listeners

We dropped Brand New then gave it to the mixers

Some played it, some of y'all didn't

Give it to B.E.T., they ain't did nothin' with it

Went up to MTV, they said, "Dawg it ain't hittin'"

Went back up to the label they said, "Fest you bullshittin'"

Even though I had a hot ass album?!

A lot of y'all didn't know nothin' about him

No tears cause it's clear, what they fear in the mirror

Man Mark disappeared, now I'm all that's left here

Man FUCK IT

This is life and I live it so I love it

If I fall I get up, dust it off and keep truckin'

I ain't mad at nobody, I don't blame y'all for nothin'

The other day Clive called he's goin' open the budget

[Chorus]:

And I'mma do it again

I'mma do it again

I ain't holdin' nothin' back I'mma do it again

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

And I ain't scared of nobody, I'mma do it again

Get ready for El Che, we gon' do it again

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

[Verse Two]:

It was A Tribe Called Quest tour, the time of my life

The whole crew was there, Q-Tip, Jarobi and Phife

We was rippin' it every night

Givin' fans they fill

But the only feeling I had, this can't be real

Imagine, on the road with a group you grew up with

They got your back and even tryin' to help you blow up quick

I know God is real cause he answered my prayers

One reviewer even said my show was better than theirs

I called my mom and told her about it

We might even get some extra paid shows up out it

I might even start actin' and get some roles up out it

Loud as hell at the airport, I was bold about it

To my surprise, the next day on the phone

Q-Tip was mad as hell sayin' I had to go home

He accused me of dissin' him

Said I shouldn't mention him

When I was at the airport his guy was listenin'

Right behind me, grimy, the drama

It didn't even matter I was talkin' to my momma

The only thing I could do was just throw up my hands

Apologize and ask Tip for a chance

C'mon man

[Chorus]:

Let me do it again

Let me do it again

Let me out on the stage, I'll do it again

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

Look, and I don't care what they say, I'mma do it again

Get ready for El Che, he gon' do it again

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"

I'mma "do it again"
