[Part II: ONCE AGAIN]

[Intro: Ty Dolla $ign]
Once again, the clouds are gatherin' to release what they held in (Ooh)
What they held in (Held in)
What they held in (Held in)
What they held in (Held in)


[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Once again, the clouds are gatherin' to release what they held in (Again, once—, yeah)
Once again, the clouds are gatherin' to release what they held in

[Verse: Ty Dolla $ign]
How much to stop the clock from speedin'? They might try to slow down
How much to stop my daughter from growin'? I just can't take it now
'Cause she just doing all the shit I did when I was her age

I don't know how I'm gonna tell her, but her dad's just afraid
Of her choices, know that I've been through it
I just hope I haven't been the wrong influence
Put her on game before the world put her through it
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
That's why I gotta break the curses that were sent for me
This is hard work working, this ain't destiny
My motivation is just lookin' at my family tree
I'm tryna make sure I contribute for the legacy
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Once again, the clouds are gatherin' to release what they held in (Again-again, once again)
Once again, the clouds are gatherin' to release what they held in

[Outro: Kanye West]
Once again, the clouds are gathering to release what they held in (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
Once again, the clouds are gathering to release what they held in (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
Once again, the clouds are gathering to release what they held in (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
Once again, the clouds are gathering to release what they held in (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
