Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against the Wall) (Extended Version)

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

I really be throwin' my words standin' 'em up, and jammin' on the one

That ain't nobody but Neptunes bammin' on the drum

Swift flip kicks landin' from the tongue

More dramatic than Batman and Robin, ba, na, na, na, na, na

The one that be handlin' they business, be sharper than a thumb tack

The one that be droppin' these albums, showin' 'em how to come back

And you gon' respect me and appreciate where I run at

You ain't gone piss me off, 'cuz you sorry that you done that

I gets meaner, badder, stronger and ferocious

You don't even much wanna see the rest

Coming back mo' fearless, mo' determined to fold the set

I ain't even started yet

So if you ain't ready you better get ready

I know I do it better when I'm bein' opposed

Ah, stick ya chest out, keep your chin up

'Cuz sometimes you gotta get knocked down to get up

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

No matter what happened that's only once it's shame on you

You come up and here and do it again then it's shame on me

Sometimes we be gettin' in trouble we didn't want learn or

Sometimes we be gettin' in trouble we ain't gon' see

I accept my wages like the way that I feel

I grow, I take 'em in stride and but 'em under my belt

I learned from you just like you learned from me

I plead, I pray for peace and perfect harmony

Somebody said, "Fool you better keep on rappin'

Stop that trippin', 'cuz it ain't gon' happen'"

I told them "Look, you better mind yo business

Change yo' way of thinkin' and keep on livin'"

Done started some trouble and you ain't been out since

'Cuz you stuck inside scared watchin' CNN

Just take the precaution so yo life will be better

Tell my friends to call me I ain't acceptin' no letters

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You heard about, yeah, you had to

I know you changed ya mind

You ain't the only one with bad news

I know that they made you feel strange

You was right in the middle complainin'

And forgot what you was cryin' 'bout

It could be your time and it might be

You can't do nothin' about it

It's God's will, that's just how life be

One day it hit 'cha then it's gone

And I'm serious and you ain't never

Even gone feel it until it hit home

That's when the pain run sharper and deeper

You ain't eatin' that's when the days feel slow and long

I know you miss 'em so it's time to uplift 'em

Try to pick the pieces up and find a way to drive on

I tell you the truth so don't lie to me

Get back Satan don't bother me

And that's the way that it's gotta be

As real as ever, so I hope you proud of me

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

Yeah, I know I let you slide before

But until you seen me trust

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You keep bumpin' me against the wall

You ain't seen bouncin' back
