Never Again
M.A.S.K Lyrics

Never again
This situation will never occur in the future.

This won't happen ever again
This event will never take place again.

Never again
I am absolutely certain that this will never happen again.

How you really living
Are you truly living your life authentically?

The way you answer questions
The manner in which you respond to inquiries.

Got people thinking you must be kidding
Your answers have led people to believe that you are joking.

Cause you can't walk it how you talking
Your actions do not align with your words.

Gave you energy like a socket
I provided you with motivation like an electrical outlet.

You took that shit and dipped
You took advantage of the situation and left abruptly.

And now I'm blasting off like a rocket
I am now progressing rapidly and experiencing great success.

It's crazy how things are changing
The way in which circumstances are evolving is astonishing.

I'm walking cross the stage and I can't help but think
As I walk across the stage, I cannot avoid contemplating.

How happy that you would have been to get the chance to see me sink
You would have derived great pleasure from witnessing my failure.

But all you got was cheers and good tidings from this side
Instead, all you received from me were supportive words and positive messages.

I guess that's part of what made you decide
I suppose that played a role in your decision-making.

To do what you did
To take the actions that you took.

But it's cool we all straight
But everything is fine, we are all doing well.

Giving thanks to the most high
Expressing gratitude to a higher power.

Mama said I'd be great
My mother assured me that I would achieve greatness.

That's all I needed to do it
That was the only motivation I required to pursue my goals.

And when they try to imitate
When others attempt to replicate what I do.

They find out they ain't congruent
They realize that they are not consistent or compatible.

Jeers and stares when I tell them
I receive ridicule and intense gazes when I inform them.

That I ain't rushing this music shit like Vladimir Putin
I am not hurrying or forcing my music career like Vladimir Putin.

To the game I'm a student
I consider myself a learner in this industry.

Just know it's kumite if not cum laude
Understand that it's a continuous struggle if not a graduation with distinction.

Cause I could pop smoke if not welcomed to the party
Because I could disappear suddenly if I am not accepted in this gathering.

But I'm more of a loner anyways
However, I prefer solitude regardless.

Forever dazed but never phased
Perpetually bewildered but never affected or disturbed.

I said fuck working for a raise
I expressed disdain towards striving for a salary increase.

I'd rather raise my people up
I prefer to uplift and empower my community.

Cause I'm only good if they are
My value is determined by the well-being of those around me.

It's either play or get played in this life
In this existence, one must either take action or become a victim.

I am a player and this feeling like the playoffs
I am an active participant, and this sensation resembles the intensity of playoff games.

So I cannot take no days off
Therefore, I cannot afford to have any days of rest or inactivity.

Ima make it even if I gotta scheme
I will succeed, even if it requires formulating clever plans.

Like Bernie Madoff
Similar to the actions of Bernie Madoff, a notorious fraudster.

And I put that on Oluwa
I swear on Oluwa (a deity), emphasizing the sincerity of my statement.

Things I've learned you can not tutor
There are certain lessons that cannot be taught by a tutor.

Stacking root of all evil to facilitate some betterment
Accumulating money, often seen as the root of all evil, in order to bring about improvement.

I'm the best to ever do it nigga who you think you better than
I am the most skilled individual in this field, so who do you believe surpasses me?
