Again (Unofficial Remix)

[Intro] [Sample Quote from “Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood”] [Ashtray’s Mother] I don’t want you hanging out in the streets. I want you to finish school. ‘Cause without an education, the only kind of work you’re gonna get is selling drugs, pimping women, or working security for Eddie Murphy. Now, I’ve done all I can. I got my education, I worked two jobs to support you. But I can’t teach you how to be a man. Now, give me a kiss and be a good boy [Akir] Again? Big shout to John Legend. It’s Akir. We dedicate this to everybody with they eyes on the prize [Statik Selektah] Statik Selektah, Akir. It’s “The Secret.” [Verse 1 – Akir] Song-writing again Gotta show the industry I’m nice, lightning when I strike with the pen Blao! Getting older. Just got sober. But I’m drinking again And we performing at ten. And if she caught it to then Hope I don’t fuck up my rhymes again I got over. Shit, I’m a soldier I freestyle mean styles until the end But I’m tired of performing the same shit I had to get back on the street—the hustler’s language And though I thought [?] time, my lane switch Free shows, gotta eat mo’ the same shit Promoting, still faking I’m getting much love from my fam But those close to the grams Broke while they shaking my hand So I explain who I am They don’t give a fuck Only shorty’s hitting me up I wanna quit the nicotine, but I light ‘em up again (light ‘em up) And make progress to show change But thug niggas go hard to the cage My OG of old age Complaining of wage. Go back to old ways Almost as slaves I never, ever wanna have to say: goodbye [Verse 2 – John Legend] So I’ve got a new friend I wish I could forget you but I miss you, wanna kiss you again But she’s like you But she not you Gotta find you again We remember again The middle of the summer and I take you out to dinner again Boy, I love her It’s not over ‘Cause I love her again
