Time And Time Again Lyrics

You cannot hide
Your pedigree
Don't call me cynical.
I can't provide
A guarantee
Don't call me cynical.

Time and time again
I'm finding a better defense
The crime I charge against
Reminds me to check your intent

I won't retreat
I will not bend
Don't call me criminal.
Inform defeat
If I offend
Don't call me criminal.

Time and time again
I'm finding a better defense
The crime I charge against
Reminds me to check your intent

You never get something without sacrifice
You never get something for nothing
So name your price

Time and time again
I'm finding a better defense
The crime I charge against
Reminds me to check your intent

Time and time again
Time and time again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I identify with this song alot so I know EXACTLY what it's about. When he interacts with people they always shut him down and treat him poorly so all the time he has to "find a better defense." Basically he's saying that he isn't trying to offend people and he is sick of being called cynical and a criminal. He turns it around on them saying "you can't hide your pedigree" and "reminds me to check your intent." For all extents and purposes this is actually a "diss" song.
