It's On Again

Alicia Keys · Other Songs - Alicia Keys

[Kendrick Lamar]

And everybody know the story of David and Goliath

But this is bigger than triumph

This is for the warrior, this is for you and I

This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind

God is recording this! won't you look in the sky?

Tell him you got the behavior of your neighbor

Even when stability's never in your favor

Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute

Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it

Walk through the valley of peace, with bare feet

Run through the flames, thats more passion for me

I passed that, this morning just so the world can see

Got them wolves on me, no watch me like em clean

I know, I know, my pride, my ghost, my eyes

My lows, I know I know, its mind control

I know I could prosper, no impostor

Prosecute my posture

I stand up and I stand by it what



[Alicia Keys]

I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote

And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope

Im trying to find my way back, theres no day off for heroes

And even when I'm tired, gold is the only word I know



And the night is takin' over

And the moonlight gets exposure

And the players have been chosen

And it seems like fate has spoken

When it seems your faith has broken

By the second, losin' focus

Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off

Unless you

I bet you wonder how I go on



I'll simply say its on again, its on again

The world don't stop, it's on again



I am a lonely hero, trying to fight my battles

Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow

In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego

There is no room for selfish, we do it for the people



And the night is takin' over

And the moonlight gets exposure

And the players have been chosen

And it seems like fate has spoken

When it seems your faith has broken

By the second, losin' focus

Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off

Unless you

I bet you wonder how I go on



I'll simply say its on again, its on again

The world don't stop, it's on again



The work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop

And everybody here trying to get on top

Everybody from the burbs down to the block

Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go

Nah

So you think you're hot?

Gotta grind hard, give it all you got

You can have, or you can have not

You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)



I'll simply say its on again, its on again

The world don't stop, it's on again
