(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
Hey rainmaker come away
He's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady
He just want what you got
You know he'll never stop
Until he's taken the lot
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
You're a man. He's a man
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
Hey rainmaker he got golden plans
I tell you he make you
A stranger in your land
Hey good lady
He got God on his side
He got a double tongue
You never think that he lie
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man,
You're a man, he's a man
Hey rainmaker come away
From that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady

You forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man,
You're a man, he's a man
The lyrics to "See You Again" by J.Def are a cover of the 1971 song "He's Gonna Step On You Again" by John Kongos. The song is a cautionary tale about a man who steps on others to get what he wants. The opening lines, "He's gonna step on you again," are repeated throughout the song as a warning. The singer of the song is a rainmaker who is being warned by the singer to stay away from a man who will take away everything she has, including her promised land. The lyrics describe this man as having a double tongue and being able to manipulate and control people's desires, ultimately making them forget who they are.
The lyrics of the song are a commentary on the corruption of power and the dangers of those who seek to control others through manipulation and intimidation. The song suggests that those who are too focused on acquiring power and material possessions will inevitably lose their humanity and forget what makes them human. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the inevitability of this outcome and reinforces the message that those who are too consumed by their own desires will ultimately be consumed by them.
Overall, "See You Again" is an insightful and powerful commentary on the corrupting influence of power and the dangers of those who seek to control others.
