IA & ONE Lyrics

Okay, reload
Let's start over

Energize like Al Pacino
Get pumped and fired up like Al Pacino's characters in movies

I met Scarface, Al Pacino
I am a big shot like Scarface who was played by Al Pacino

You got some nerve talking shit about me
You have audacity to talk negatively about me

When you ain't done fuck all
When you haven't accomplished anything

Yeah, yeah, do the time now
You have to face the consequences of your actions

This time I'm coming out on my parole
This time I will be released on parole after serving my time

Had your time with the Bentley, the gold
You had your time with luxury cars and gold possessions

The yoga, Prada, bling-bling's gone
The era of yoga, Prada, and jewelry is over

Nuttin' goin' on but the rent
Nothing is happening other than paying bills

Life-forsaken bread and bacon
Life is just a struggle to have enough food

I caught you so low, I spit on the ground
I caught you at a low point, and I'm disgusted with you

You don't know? Had to be on the ground
You don't know how tough life can get

You swallow me, fuck that, cause you got no backbone
You are a weak person who can't handle me, so forget it

Much too young
I was too young to handle this

Too heavy and fell in far too deep
Life was too intense for me

Okay, cocaine now!
I am embracing drugs to cope

Ganja, Rizla, sensimilia
I am experimenting with marijuana and other drugs

Counting coppers, yea
Counting coins, scraping by

Dodgin' Feds on the bus, life ain't fair
Avoiding the police on public transit, life is unjust

Let me see what you've got on
Show me what you are wearing

Tracksuits, still got your hoodie on
You are dressed casually

'Member that girl that you called "loose"?
Remember that girl who you insulted for being promiscuous?

Yeah, last week I saw her working in Boots
I saw her working at a low-end job

I know, I know she ain't got nothing on me
I am better than her in every way

She ain't got the goods
She has nothing valuable to offer

Is you down for one more round?
Are you ready to face me again?

It's okay, I feel good
I am ready and confident

Well, that's okay, your shit's tired anyway
It's okay because your tricks are old and overused

You got your head switched
You have changed for the worse

You gave into me, bureaucratic
You surrendered to me out of fear

Yeah, yeah, I'm a heart breaker
Yes, I am someone who breaks hearts

What happened to you, aren't you thoroughbred?
What happened to you? You used to be strong and confident

I want Public Enemy back
I want the decency and justice that was present in the past

Chuck D, Flava, and Professor Griff
I want the important figures from Public Enemy to return

Who gon' come save us?
Who will come and rescue us from this situation?

Had to fight back the pop-stars bullshit
I had to resist the inauthenticity and superficiality of pop stars

Catch yourself and say "Then again me"
Reflect on your actions and take ownership of them

'Nuff of them men, try take liberties
Enough of these men trying to exploit us

I've got the backbone, don't need yours
I am strong and independent, I don't need your help

'Nuff of them they'll say, "Oh no, go!"
People will try to push you around, but stand up for yourself

Meow, meow, pussycat turned tiger
I may look meek, but I am now fierce and strong

If you don't know it goes, "Rawr, rawr"
If you don't know, I will make it clear

More bounce in the ounce than gunpowder
I have more energy and power than gunpowder

Make you play position, defender
I can make you take a defensive stance

Okay, reload
Let's start over

Is you down? Gonna get you for one more round
Are you ready for another confrontation?
