Bring It On
Beenie Man & T.O.K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I make a mistake
But I learn I don't break
But I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
I'll do whatever it takes
To make it right plan will change
But I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back

Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
And I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
And I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
When I tell you where the fame came from it's a shame shame
All you need to know is the pen game is flame flame
When we talk about the maim brain it's a blame game
When we talk about the membrane I make my pen drain
Where I learnt rapping ask a lion how his mane came
Never forgetting whatever happen I'm gonna stay same
But storing everything like a fucking computer mainframe
Fuck that who's going back just to put the blame
I don't wanna be Kraken I'd rather be Medusa bitch
Size don't matter it depends on how you use it
I don't wanna kill a motherfucker while I do this
But if I have to I'm a stone I want music
Weed can do what back then medusa did
Pork on my plate a muslim asking who's the fucking pig
Never meant to hurt anyone but it is my gig
I don't even know who the fuck the beat producer is
They treat me like a payphone they pay me the change
I would try to keep connection on with my humour
Doing all type of crazy shit so they think I'm cool
I'm a cell but they treat me like a fucking tumour
Now I'm making my moves and you losing your shit
Now I'm getting my views when you boozing with your bitch
I sit alone thinking that I'm oozing like a prick
We can never be compared though and I work for it
I make a mistake
But I learn I don't break
But I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
I'll do whatever it takes
To make it right plan will change
But I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
And I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back
Bring it back bring it back bring it back

And I won't turn time for that
Bring it back bring it back bring it back

The opening lines send a message that the lover is free to change their mind and return home, where they will be welcomed with open arms and sweet love.

If you ever, change your mind,
If you ever decide to change your mind and stay with me,

About leaving, leaving me behind
About leaving me behind and going away,

Won't you bring your
Can you please bring your

Your affection and love,

Bring it on home to me.
Bring it along when you come back home to me.

You made me cry
You made me feel so emotional and sad,

Honey when you left,
When you left me,

But you only, only hurt yourself
But in reality, you were only hurting yourself,

So won't you bring your
So can't you just bring your

Your sweet loving,
Your sweet affection and love,

Bring it on home to me.
Bring it back to me along with yourself.
