Doin' It Again Lyrics - How I Got Over - The Roots

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!

I keep it doin' it again 

Oh, I'm doin' it again 

Yes, I'm doin' it again 

I said it would end 

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

I keep it doin' it again 

Oh, I'm doin' it again 

Yes, I'm doin' it again 

I said it would end
