This time around I'll never get bit 
Though you really wanna fix me 
This time around you're making me sick 
Though you really wanna get me 
Somebody's out 
Somebody's out to get me 
They really wanna fix me, hit me 
But this time around I'm taking no shit 
Though you really wanna get me 
You really wanna get me

He really thought he really had 
Had a hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
Control of me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really could control me

This time around I'll never get bit 
Though you really wanna get me 
This time around I'm taking no shit 
Though you really wanna fix me 
Somebody's out 
Somebody's out to use me 
They really want to use me 
And they falsely accuse me 
This time around 
They'll take it like spit 
'Cause you really can't control me 
You know you can't control me

He really thought he really had 
Had a hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
A hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
Had a hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
A hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me

[Rap: The Notorious BIG] 
Listen, I've got problems of my own 
Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone 
Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be 
Things always missin' 
Maybe it could be my friends 
They ain't friends if they robbin' me 
Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see 
Apology shallow like the ocean 
I guess I'll resort to gun totin' 
If I was dead broke and smokin' 
I'd probably be by my lonesome 
I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin' 
Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin' 
The fool comes slippin' 
So I could blow'em open 
This time around 
I changed up my flow 
Got rid of the rocks 
Got Pitts by the door 
I've raised other peoples to watch my back 
Stay away from strangers 
So I won't slack 
And I know my nigga Mike like that 
Baby [Michael] 
This time around yeah... 
He really thought he really had 
Control of me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
A hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
Had a hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
Control of me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
He really thought he really had 
A hold on me 
He really thought he really had 
They thought they really had control of me 
This time around yeah 
He really thought
