Song Lyrics

Yo, ain't no better man for this hype track
It's the veteran takin' the mic back
David Letterman even said he like that track, man
Even though he ain't a rap fan

Black radio, they won't play me though
Ever since 'Summer time' they ain't liked none of mine
Even though the fans went out an' bought enough
I guess, they think that Will ain't hard enough

Maybe I should just have a shoot out
Run up in the bank, bust, grabbin' all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass, takin' my boot out
Right on TV, so all y'all can see me

Just ignorant, attackin', actin' rough
I mean, then will I be black enough
Oh, wait, maybe I'll jack a truck
Full of cigarettes, guns an' drugs an stuff

Get that, I wish I woulda made that
Lean back, I wish I woulda made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it's hot'
Summer, Summer time, seem like all I got

Get that, I wish I woulda made that
Lean back, I wish I woulda made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it's hot'
Summer, Summer time, seem like all I got

I always envied how y'all rock wit Dre an' the Chronic
The way that Tupac, Biggie, 50 an' Jigga got it
A lot like L.L., Chuck D, Slick an' Dougie
I think y'all love me, but y'all place other rappers above me

An' I don't know if you feel my flow
An' be at my show then you'll see where I should go
On the charts of rhyme, arts an' thoughts in rap form
Damn it, I expanded the platform

Damn it, this cat's on a rap song, yeah, it ain't no braids
Or plats on, ain't on stage wit no gats on
You know I'm afraid, gettin' my act on
It might have stunted my growth, but I wanted them both

An' I hope that it would be less tougher
You do two things an' then they both gonna suffer
I chose to act an' it broke my heart not to rap
Prodigal son, clever, better than ever, back, so

Get that, I wish I woulda made that
Lean back, I wish I woulda made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it's hot'
Summer, Summer time, seem like all I got

Get that, I wish I woulda made that
Lean back, I wish I woulda made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it's hot'
Summer, Summer time, seem like all I got

I got my swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back

Check it, yo, do you see that lil' bop in my step?
Do you see the little drop to the left? Huh, yo
Baseball cap, timbs when I walk
Do you see that lil' grin when I talk? Huh, yo

Do you see me sorta glide when I slide?
See me lean to the side in my ride, huh, yo
Do you see it's no ice on the wrist?
Fish still bite just like this, right, right

Do you know what it mean
When you see a dude's chick on TV gleamin'? Huh
Know what it mean to be on the screen
An' in the audience 'Ali', beamin' ?

Yo, I must have a 'S' on my chest
I've recovered from the Wild, Wild West, yes
Yo, I been up the creek without a paddle
Now I'm back in the saddle

I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back

I got my swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back

All you see that you see when you seein' me
You ain't seein' all to be seen
'Cause there's more for you to see than when you see me
In the scene, on my media machine

I mean madness, sickness, sadness
Swaggerless back in the day
Fat, ugly chicks in New York, on the radio
Sayin' I'm gay

I had a bonafide downside frown
With the swagga not around in my life
Bank account found minimal amounts
When countin' 'cause of my now ex-wife

I had the boar thick walls an' all that
Endure pitfalls an' all that, fallin'
Callin' for help, with no call back
Where was y'all at, gimme the ball back

I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back

I got my swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
