This Time Around

This time around I'll never get bit
 Though you really wanna fix me
 This time around you're making me sick
 Though you really wanna get me
 Somebody's out
 Somebody's out to get me
 They really wanna fix me, hit me
 But this time around I'm taking no shit
 Though you really wanna get me
 You really wanna get me
 He really thought he really had
 Had a hold on me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really had control of me
 He really thought he really had
 Control of me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really could control me
 This time around I'll never get bit
 Though you really wanna get me
 This time around I'm taking no shit
 Though you really wanna fix me
 Somebody's out
 Somebody's out to use me
 They really want to use me
 And then falsely accuse me
 This time around
 They'll take it like spit
 'Cause you really can't control me
 You know you can't control me
 He really thought he really had
 Had a hold on me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really had control of me
 He really thought he really had
 A hold on me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really had control of me
 He really thought he really had
 Had a hold on me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really had control of me
 He really thought he really had
 A hold on me
 He really thought he really had
 They thought they really had control of me
 (The Notorious BIG)
 Listen, I've got problems of my own
 Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
 Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
 Things always missin'
 Maybe it could be my friends
 They ain't friends if they robbin' me
 Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
 Apology shallow like the ocean
 I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
 If I was dead broke and smokin'
 I'd probably be by my lonesome
 I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
 Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
 The fool comes slippin'
 So I could blow'em open
 This time around
 I changed up my flow
 Got rid of the rocks
 Got pits by the door
 I've raised other peoples to watch my back
 Stay away from strangers
 So I won't slack
 And I know my nigga Mike like that baby
 This time around yeah...
