Lyrics:

“I’m Back” is the first track from Monica’s “All Eyez on Me” album.
The song samples Herb Alpert’s song “Rise.”
Yeah, yeah, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

It's been a while since I saw you
And since you hurt me
And it's been a while since I saw started back doin' my thing
And if you wanna know why I've been on the low
Let's just say it was me gettin' to know me
And now it's time to see that I

I've learned some things
And I've been some places that I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this, back to

Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (Oh-oh)
Taking time to say, 'What's up?' (Oh-oh)
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track (No, no, no, no)

I heard some things, things that weren't true
Supposed to be about me but I have a dream
And I won't let nobody stop me
I can tell you know now that I'm gonna stay around
And that they can do them cause I'ma do me
And now it's time to see, that I

I've learned some things
And I've been some places all that I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
But it's time to get back to this, back to

Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (Oh-oh)
Taking time to say, 'What's up?'
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh, it feels good to be back
And ooh (Ooh)
How could people think that that I, I wouldn't get my spot back
And for those who thought that, just know
That I'm back to what I love

Back to what I love
Giving up hugs
Taking time to say, 'What's up?' (Oh-oh)
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know (Taking time)
I am back, and I won't lose track (I'm back)
Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (What I love)
To my girls and to all my thugs (To my girls, all my girls)
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track
