In 2005 he released his first official mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and later in 2006 he released his first full length street album entitled Show and Prove. Since then he has released a further six mixtapes and a collaboration mixtape titled How Fly with friend Curren$y. He released his debut album, Deal or No Deal, in November of 2009, it reached #1 on the iTunes hip hop chart, and then reached the top ten on iTunes' overall album chart the week it was released. Previously signed to Warner Bros. Records, he left the label in July 2009 after numerous delays in releasing his planned debut album for the label, First Flight. Khalifa stated to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that, "I learned a lot during my time there and matured as an artist during the process. I'm happy to be moving on with all of my material and having the chance to be in control of my next moves".He is also the founder of the rap crew Taylor Gang, which includes friends Kev Tha Hustler, Ekko, Smallz Money and Gene Stovall. They derived the name from the fact they always used to wear Chuck Taylor shoes.
Khalifa was born on September 8, 1987 in Minot, North Dakota to a mother and a father serving in the military. The family moved to Pittsburgh when Khalifa was the age of two. His parents' military service caused the family to move on a regular basis.
Over the next thirteen years, he would move between Pittsburgh and South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Germany, Japan, and England as his parents were reassigned to different posts. In October of 1990 Wiz was separated from his mother,who left him in the hands of her sister while she served in Operation Desert Storm.
During his travels, Wiz was forced to mature quicker than his peers. He was constantly faced with new surroundings, new schools, and new sets of friends, and he found it difficult to become attached to anyone outside his family roots. This nomadic life gave Wiz an opportunity, though, to broaden his mind and offered him many experiences from which to draw inspiration. He began to perceive the world differently than most kids, and he would write his thoughts down every day.These thoughts would become the foundation for his future recordings.
By the age of 14, with a few songs under his belt, Wiz was already drawing comparisons with his commanding voice and witty wordplay. While he has been influenced by artists such as Jay-Z, Camron, and the Notorious B.I.G., Wiz was determined to create his own identity that would, one day, be loved and revered by fans.
Ready to take the next step, Wiz began his search for a recording studio to record new songs. He found one, ID LABS, where owner Eric Dan immediately recognized Wiz's talents. Along with Chad Glick of ID Management, they began to network Wiz to another Pittsburgh native, Benjy Grinberg of Rostrum Records. Benjy realized the raw talent that Wiz possessed, and immediately brought him into the Rostrum family in 2002.
Soon after, Wiz Khalifa began his ascent into the music scene in the Pittsburgh area. He has been hailed by the award winning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pop music critic, Ed Masley, as having “the skills, the looks, the confidence, the drive, and the charisma for the job.” The New Pittsburgh Courier says, “The combination of a young, charismatic M.C. with a slew of stop-and-rewind rhymes together with a local independent label with major industry connections has set the stage for a hip-hop artist representing Pittsburgh to reach superstar status for the first time ever.
In 2010, with the success of Kush and Orange Juice still present, Wiz Khalifa signed with Atlantic Records. Wiz's style along with his production team, Johnny Juliano, Sledgren, and E. Dan make this a winning combination for success.
He is also well known for his debut single for Atlantic, "Black and Yellow", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album for the label, Rolling Papers, was released on March 29, 2011. He followed that album with O.N.I.F.C. (abbreviated for mainstream markets from "Only Nigga In First Class") on December 4, 2012 which was backed by the singles "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You". O.N.I.F.C. debuted at number two with 131,000 in first week sales.
Pittsburgh City Council declared 12-12-12 (December 12, 2012) to be Wiz Khalifa Day in the city. Khalifa graduated from Pittsburgh's Taylor Allderdice High School and in January 2012, purchased a home in nearby Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
In April 2013, Khalifa revealed that after having his son he decided to work on a new album that he was planning to release in 2013. On April 17, 2013, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y announced that they will drop their collaboration EP Live in Concert on April 20, 2013. The EP featured seven new songs. On June 24, 2013, he announced that his fifth studio album would be titled Blacc Hollywood and would be released in 2013. On September 3, 2013, Khalifa revealed he had recorded songs with Miley Cyrus, Adele and Juicy J for Blacc Hollywood. In October 2013, Mannie Fresh confirmed that he provided production for the album. On February 11, 2014, Khalifa released Blacc Hollywood's first single titled "We Dem Boyz". The album was then supported by the singles "KK", "You and Your Friends", "Stayin Out All Night", "Promises" and "So High".
Khalifa released an EP with TY Dolla $ign on March 31, 2015, entitled "Talk About It In the Morning". That same month, Wiz released the lead single for the film "Furious 7" called "See You Again" as a tribute to Paul Walker. The single has since gone on to global success. "See You Again" spent 12 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, tying for the longest-running rap number-one hit in the US.
On January 23, 2015, Khalifa was featured on a remix release of the Fall Out Boy song "Uma Thurman". On May 18, they performed the song together on the 2015 Billboard Music Awards show. In the summer of 2015, he began touring the United States with Fall Out Boy and Hoodie Allen in a tour titled "The Boys of Zummer Tour". The tour featured performances of "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy and Khalifa. Later that year, on December 15, 2015, Wiz released the mixtape "Cabin Fever 3". During the Golden Globes on January 10, 2016, Wiz announced that his next album, titled Khalifa, would be released on the 22nd of that month. However, the album was released on February 5, 2016. On May 24, 2016, he released "Pull Up", a standalone single in promotion of his sixth album, Rolling Papers 2, which was released on July 13, 2018.
On April 20, 2020, Khalifa released, The Saga of Wiz Khalifa. The album included collaborations with Tyga, Logic, Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign. In May 2020, Khalifa featured on the song "Drums Drums Drums" with Travis Barker.
In 2021, Khalifa competed in season five of The Masked Singer as "Chameleon". He finished in third place.
Do It Again
Wiz Khalifa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I tell a disc jockey "press play" while I press up on a girl
In a mist that I smoke in the air
The reflection of lights that glare
She'll be out of control like a hydroplane in plain sight I might have to stare
And that's power steering, a power trip will see my appearance
Pile of hundreds all on a prowl like vampires in the darkest dungeon
Speakers bumpin', drinks is pouring
That's real big, pop my color, pop that lid
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the moon is dropping day break watching
Then do it again
Some people stay home and sleep, me I go out at night
All seven days of the week, I live the party life
I got my dogs with me, you can bring some of your friends
We going hard 'til the sun come up and do it again
I got a drink in my hand they playing my favourite song
This girl that's dancing on me ain't' got no panties on
And she gonna come back to my hotel, don't tell
Anyone about us, I'm here to party all night
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the moon is dropping day break watching
Then do it again
Come to my section (my section)
And down some of this liquor
Then tell me what it hit for
Gon be some things I don't remember
So take some camera phone pictures
Come to my section (my section)
And down some of this liquor
Then tell me what it hit for
Gon be some things I don't remember
So take some camera phone pictures
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)

In the song "Do It Again" by Wiz Khalifa, he talks about trying to escape the realities of the world by turning up and partying with his friends. He mentions how every day, he tries to escape his reality and so he tells the DJ to press play while he presses up on a girl. The mist that he smokes fills the area, and he stares at her as she dances uncontrollably. He is in awe of her beauty, and this causes him to lose his focus while driving. He compares the feeling of having control over his car like a hydroplane, to then losing control by being distracted by her dancing.
Wiz Khalifa enjoys the feeling of the power he has while driving his car, that same feeling of power can be described as the pile of hundreds he has, and how he is in control of how the money is spent. In the chorus, he talks about the flashing lights, model types, and vixens showing him love, while he drinks and parties like he is supposed to. He witnesses the energy in the room around him, and he knows they will be doing this until the sun comes up. He then invites people to join him in his section, down some of his liquor and take some camera phone pictures because they will do this again.
Overall, "Do It Again" is a song about living in the moment and enjoying the parties and events to the fullest. It is a song about having fun with friends and forgetting about the world's harsh realities, even if it is just for a night.

@espantapajaross
Todos los días trato de escapar de las realidades de este mundo
Entonces le digo a un disc jockey "presiona play" mientras presiono a una chica
En una bruma que fumo en el aire
El reflejo de las luces que brillan
Ella estará fuera de control como un hidroavión a plena vista, podría tener que mirar
Y esa es la dirección asistida, un viaje de poder verá mi apariencia
Montón de cientos, todos al acecho como vampiros en la mazmorra más oscura
Altavoces chocando, las bebidas se derraman
Nosotros en la casa pagamos la hipoteca, tiranosaurio
Eso es muy grande, abre mi color, abre esa tapa
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
Algunas personas se quedan en casa y duermen, yo salgo de noche
Los siete días de la semana, vivo la vida de fiesta
Tengo a mis perros conmigo, puedes traer a algunos de tus amigos
Vamos duro hasta que salga el sol y lo haremos de nuevo
Tengo un trago en mi mano, están tocando mi canción favorita
Esta chica que está bailando sobre mí no tiene bragas
Y ella volverá a mi hotel, no lo digas
Cualquiera de nosotros, estoy aquí de fiesta toda la noche
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
Ven a mi sección (mi sección)
Y un poco de este licor
Entonces dime por qué golpeó
Serán algunas cosas que no recuerdo
Así que toma algunas fotos con la cámara del teléfono
Ven a mi sección (mi sección)
Y un poco de este licor
Entonces dime por qué golpeó
Serán algunas cosas que no recuerdo
Así que toma algunas fotos con la cámara del teléfono
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
