Doin' It Again - The Roots

[00:00.66](Chorus: John Legend)
[00:00.84]I keep doin' it again
[00:04.23]Oh, I'm doin' it again
[00:10.20]Yes, I'm doin' it again
[00:15.53]I said it would end
[00:17.16](Black Thought)
[00:17.56]Uh, remix, rising up out of the flames like a Phoenix
[00:20.86]Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius
[00:23.62]Knowing I'm sowing seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest
[00:26.34]If I said I mean it, I did it because I need it
[00:29.20]Eat, sleep it or bleed it, write it down and then read it
[00:31.97]Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk, deleted
[00:34.85]I blast off then lay 'em out like a Tempur-Pedic
[00:37.59]It's Black Thought, for certain I'ma win eventually
[00:40.46]This unsung, underrated, under-appreciated
[00:43.04]The one them underachievers had underestimated
[00:45.87]Finally graduated, I'm one of the most hated
[00:48.86]Something that's so sacred, nobody gon' take it
[00:51.64]Face it, I keep doin' it well
[00:53.95]Doin' it sans assistance, just do it yourself
[00:56.13]Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth
[00:58.93]Doin' it again for Illadelph, yo who else?
[01:01.64]We gon' do it again!
[01:03.13](Chorus: John Legend)
[01:03.49]I keep doin' it again
[01:06.78]Oh, I'm doin' it again
[01:12.20]Yes, I'm doin' it again
[01:16.76]I said it would end
[01:19.12](Black Thought)
[01:19.49]Yeah, ayo I'm on a job, see my eyes focused where the prize be
[01:22.23]Even though they tried to rob me and sabotage the spot
[01:25.20]Just like 'Pac when they got him in the lobby
[01:27.95]Try to tax, you'll find me like Ronald Isley
[01:30.95]I is a changed man, no if's, and's or probablies
[01:33.62]Niggas used to know me, they don't even recognise me
[01:36.29]Yep, the P-5-D is who the repertoire be
[01:39.03]Doin' it again just like Poitier and Cosby
[01:41.91]I'm like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney
[01:44.75]The difference is I give it everything inside me
[01:47.56]Dear diary, the fans still swear by me
[01:50.13]Even though I'm Late Night now like "Here's Johnny"
[01:53.04]Swimming with them Great Whites now, that's where to find me
[01:55.76]Funny how it break right down, but never mind me
[01:58.54]Forever grimy, I guess it's just Philly shining
[02:01.52]Rock roller, bipolar like Phyllis Hyman
[02:04.47](Chorus: John Legend)
[02:05.27]I keep doin' it again
[02:08.23]Oh, I'm doin' it again
[02:13.83]Yes, I'm doin' it again
[02:18.20]I said it would end
[02:20.94]
