Alicia Keys – It’s On Again Lyrics

And everybody know the story of David and Goliath¹
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind²
God is recording this! Won’t you look in the sky?³
Tell him you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability’s never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it⁴
Walk through the valley of peace, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that’s more passion for me
I passed testimony, just so the world can see⁵
Got them battle wounds on me, no watch me lick em clean⁶
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know I know, it’s mind control⁷
I know I could prosper, no impostor
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it⁸ what

I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote⁹
And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope
I’m trying to find my way back, there’s no day off for heroes¹⁰
And even when I’m tired, go is the only word I know¹¹

And the night is takin’ over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin’ focus¹²
Ain’t no way to get up, get out, get up, get out
Unless you
I bet they wonder how I go on¹³

I’ll simply say it’s on again, it’s on again
The world don’t stop, it’s on again¹⁴

I am a lonely hero, trying to fight my battles¹⁵
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow¹⁶
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego¹⁷
There ain’t no room for selfish, we do it for the people¹⁸

And the night is takin’ over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin’ focus
Ain’t no way to get up, get out, get up, get out
Unless you
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on

I’ll simply say its on again, its on again
The world don’t stop, it’s on again

The work don’t stop, ’cause they don’t stop
And everybody here trying to get on top¹⁹
Everybody from the burbs²⁰ down to the block²¹
Gotta hold on tight and don’t let go, let go²²
Huh
So you think you hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got²³
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
How I go on
I bet they’ll wonder how I go on²⁴
I bet they’ll wonder how I go on

I’ll simply say its on again, its on again
The world don’t stop, it’s on again²⁵
