[Verse 1]
Time and time again I told myself that I could do it
When I was going through wasn’t thinking about no music
I could’ve died
I woke up in Columbia met Pablo by the cooler
Escobar changed my life believed his name was Nas
Really went through beef it wasn’t burgers never came with fries
21st street we walked it that slick shit we talked it
I’m the freshest n***a walking
I hope that bleach take the blood stains out the coffin
I got the cash but I’m still trying to bargain
Tragic n***as not supposed to make it that often


[Chorus]
Time and time again
I told myself that I can do it
Angеls singing on the beat
I felt likе that God produced it
When living in the matrix
Red and blue just gotta choose it
All these diamonds looking stupid


[Verse 2]
I bet you feeling stupid
You ain’t follow the plan but
We had the same blue print
I’ve been picking up my loose ends
Since Jay dropped the Blueprint
New Benz talking about murder
The crime rate we boost it
Trans lucent I let my mans cruise it
He ain’t got no license
But the registration valid
Reservations I ain’t waiting
My steak came with a salad
Time and time again
I told myself that I can do it
Freaky died I told myself that I might lose it
Trying not prove shit
Time and time again I told myself that I could do it
When I was going through wasn’t thinking about no music
I could’ve died
I woke up in Columbia met Pablo by the cooler
Escobar changed my life believed his name was Nas
Really went through beef it wasn’t burgers never came with fries
21st street we walked it that slick shit we talked it
Back and forth to 2110 in my aunt apartment


I’m the freshest n***a walking
I hope that bleach take the blood stains out the coffin
I got the cash but I’m still trying to bargain
Tragic n***as not supposed to make it that often
