Here I Go Again
Special Ed Lyrics

Straight up
Honestly and straightforwardly

You'll get ate up
You will be defeated and overwhelmed

Wait up
Wait a moment

Hold up
Stop or pause

(Here I go)
I am about to start

(Here I go)
I am about to start

(Here I go again)
I am starting again, after a break or defeat

Greetings, welcome to the proceedings
Hello and welcome to this event or situation

You won't be needing your seating
You won't be sitting or resting, but rather standing and engaging

For this lyrical meeting, there's no eating
This encounter is about words and music, not food or distractions

And no biting, fighting is in the lobby
Don't imitate or copy others, and leave any conflict out of this space

I didn't know that so much dough was in a hobby
I didn't realize that you could make a lot of money from something you enjoy doing

My last rhyme was a pastime, yet at present
My previous verse was a casual activity, but now it's more serious

I present the scent - smell
I offer an aroma or essence that you can perceive

The funk from below hell
A strong and compelling sound or feeling, possibly of a dark or underworldly nature

>From where I fell
From a low or disadvantaged position, possibly due to a mistake or misfortune

But I still got my soul
I still have my inner spirit and identity, despite external challenges or opinions

So I'm never gonna sell
I won't compromise my values or integrity for financial gain or recognition

I'd rather tell it just like it is
I prefer to express my thoughts and experiences truthfully and directly

Plus it's my mic, so act like it is
I own this instrument and control this performance, so respect me and listen

You can ask Giz, you can ask anybody
You can confirm with others that I have skills and influence

I rock any party, word to Miz
I can entertain or impress any audience, just like my fellow artists Miz and others

(It ain't he Biz) So what it is?
This is not the same as Biz Markie's style or approach, but it's still valid

Straight up, you'll get ate up just like breakfast
I will defeat you easily and quickly, like a morning meal

If it's a bunch, then that's lunch, and in the next is
If there are more opponents, then they will be defeated as well, possibly in sequence

Dinner, now who's the lucky winner for the evening?
Now it's time for the main event or challenge, who will be the last one standing?

Flex and you won't be leaving, or even breathing
If you try to resist or compete with me, you will suffer serious consequences, possibly death

I had to come back, so there ain't no misbelieving
I returned to prove my worth and talent, and there's no doubt or confusion about that

You thought I was gone, but my word is bond
You assumed that I had disappeared or failed, but I keep my promises and commitments

I was in the deadzone, with the headphones on
I was in a state of intense focus and solitude, wearing headphones to tune out distractions

Just meditating, then I be waiting for a
I was reflecting on my thoughts and emotions, and then I anticipated another opportunity or inspiration

Light snorer, then it's off to Bora-Bora
A weak or unworthy adversary would be easily defeated, and then I could enjoy a luxurious or exotic destination

Beyond the dawn, past the corn and wheat fields
Far away from the ordinary and mundane, into unknown or unexpected territories

The street feels great, how the beat feels?
I enjoy the energy and rhythm of urban life and music, and I wonder how others feel about it

Get the reels and the deals is done
Prepare the tapes and the business arrangements, and then we can proceed

I be back, hon, I gotta drop it on the one
I will return with a fresh and exciting performance, and I will start it with a strong and precise beat

So give me my hat and my gun, I gotta run
I need my signature accessories and my courage, because I have to face new challenges and foes

I got a ton of styles, but you can't get none
I have many ways of expressing myself and impressing others, but you can't imitate or steal them

I wipe you out like a disc, tisk-tisk
I defeat you efficiently and dismissively, as if you were a dirty or obsolete object

Tough stains need whisk', but I can't take the risk
It's hard to remove persistent obstacles or opponents, and I don't want to waste time or energy on them

I gotta take em out myself to make sure
I have to solve my own problems and overcome my own weaknesses, because no one else can do it for me

I break them legs like eggs when they raw
I defeat you easily and quickly, like breaking fragile and vulnerable eggs

Billy McGhee McGhaw, they all cried
I make my opponents and critics suffer and regret their challenge or insult, and they call for mercy or help

They all died, they all tried
They all failed and perished, but at least they made an effort and tested their limits

But they got cut like King Tut, then wrapped
They suffered a similar fate as the famous pharaoh, being defeated and mummified

>From a dummy to a mummy, let's see how you adapt
From being clueless and vulnerable to being lifeless and helpless, that's the progression of your defeat

I cut the crap, and act like you know then
I eliminate the nonsense and the pretense, and expect you to recognize my talent and authority

Here we go then, I'm explodin
Now it's time to unleash my full potential and creativity, and I will make a big impact

It's about time to drop the rhyme
It's the right moment to start the rap

And take cover, shelter, atomic melter
And be prepared for a powerful and intense performance, like a nuclear blast

Shutdown, what now, I got nut now
I shut down my opponents and challenges, and now I have a clear and confident mind and voice

Two nine-fitties just like titties
I have two guns, each with nine millimeter calibers, which resemble breasts in their shape and size

Rockin the sound I break down in the cracks on the trackboard
I create an impressive and energetic beat and flow, and I even change the physical structure of the recording equipment

Like Shaq on a backboard
I dominate and impress like the basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal, jumping and scoring with ease

I shatter musical matter
I break down and reshape the elements of music, creating a new and exciting style

And make it even fatter than it was
I enhance and enlarge the already impressive sound and rhythm, making it even more appealing

Word up, 'cause, I got a buzz
I speak the truth and the slang of my peers, because I have a strong and growing reputation and following

That is what the ism does
That's the power and effect of the hip-hop culture and lifestyle

So I'm in a trance, I need a chance to escape
I am deeply involved and fascinated by my performance and the music, but I also want to take a break and relax

They said I'd be alright if I just made another tape
They believed that I could recover and succeed again, if I produced another recording

But I don't think it's gonnda do it
But I doubt that this simple solution will solve all my problems and challenges

I been through it
I have experienced many difficulties and setbacks, and I am aware of their impact and causes

I get a shock everytime I rock
I am still surprised and amazed by my own talent and power, every time I perform

I'm unstable, and unable to relax
I am emotionally and mentally agitated and restless, and I cannot find peace or calmness

I hear tracks and relapse
I am easily tempted and influenced by the music and the culture, and I fall back into my old habits and patterns

Perhaps I got the raps, quick
Maybe I have some witty and clever rhymes or jokes, that can lift my mood and entertain others

I'm bout to have another fit...
I am about to experience another episode of pain or excitement, and I don't know how to handle it
