[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 assistance, 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

Niggas 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]
