[Intro: Talib Kweli]
This the year of the Blacksmith
Talib Kweli (Kweli) K-1 (K-1)
Let's go! {"Listen!"}
Yeah, yeah niggaz don't {"Listen!"}
Back in the days we all used to {"Listen!"}
Now shit is so wack, nobody {"Listen!"}
To that real hip-hop, yo {"Listen!"}
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {"Listen!"}
Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum
{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it
Wait, wait, wait, wait {"Wait just a minute"}
[Talib Kweli]
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Start repentin cause the endin is near
But don't, panic you can't function if you livin in fear
Pay attention you gotta listen to hear {"Wait just a minute"}
Who the fuck you think you talkin to?
Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through
Kweli, the flow captain to fast or slow rappin
I'm soul crackin, you ain't heard your shit appear like closed captions
King of the bars and I'm goin hardcores
All my confidence comes from knowin God's laws
Bangin on the system, fightin my kind of war
Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar
[Chorus: Talib Kweli]
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {"Listen!"}
Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum
{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it
It's for your spirits so, but y'all don't hear me though {"Listen!"}
Get up, get into it and get involved {"Listen!"}
There's a little somethin that I wanna spit for y'all
{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it
Wait, wait, wait, wait {"Wait just a minute"}
[Talib Kweli]
Get it now, get it fast, get it right
Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight
{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} But you don't really hear me though
I, spit it clearly so it's live at your stereo
To your heart while it's beatin in your chest
I'm speakin to execs in the seat behind the desk
To your spirit nuttin weaker than the flesh
So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin deeper in the depth
Real hip-hop is missin from the shelf
Yep, it's what you felt when you listen to yourself
Only a few is makin cuts that finish
So before you spend your hard-earned spinach {"Wait just a minute"}
[Chorus]
[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, you love the sounds comin out your speaker
I spit rounds like a 9-millimeter
The youth today they, frown at the teachers
They ain't down with no leaders, they don't wanna wait just a {"minute"}
They like "What nigga? Wait right there
I got reservoir dogs, you be missin a right ear"
{"Listen!"} Get it clear, figure is my year
I'm everywhere makin appearances in niggaz nightmares
Hear the word, peep the flow, check the cadence
What you heard is a pro I'm so amazin
Don't front girl you know it's your favorite
New Kweli yo they runnin out of patience
[Chorus]
[Outro: Talib Kweli]
Yo, don't it sound so good to ya?
Uhh, it's the return of the greatest y'all
Talib Kweli, BKMC, Blacksmith is the movement
Blacksmith is the music, what you ridin for?
What you livin for, what you dyin for?
{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Bangin on your eardrum, yeah
{"Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute"}
{"Listen!"}
{"Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute"}

LISTEN!
You are so near to me
Fall carefully!
In love you could be the one
The one for me
It's time to change dust into ivory
It's time to kiss your lips
To ask: "Please, would you marry me?"

Wait
The rain will come and soon enough
To wash away all that we've loved
Here it comes
Listen
Stop
The dialogs and the debates
Good things will come along just wait
In time
Listen
And you feel like crying
You want to scream out
But the tears won't fall
The words won't come
So just listen
Don't lose your head yet stick around
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
You're allowed
Forgiven
Because
System coats you like a shell
What you need nobody sells
Hell is your
Decision
And you feel like crying
You want to scream out
But the tears won't fall
The words won't come
So my friends your time is now
Open up what you've closed down
And it hurts so bad to speak
Oh
So just listen
So just listen
Hurts so bad
So just listen
Hurts so bad, to speak
[repeat]

[Verse 1]
I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord
Why my people gotta be so poor, feel me
and why's it so rough when you're young and black
They say you go to jail or get strung on crack
Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old
Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold
and why these niggas here with so many years
whole family in court crying so many tears
can you picture us living with hope [hell no]
when the same ones hanging us is giving us dope
shit, it's hard to get by
I pray to God it's still hard to get by
Just wanna hold my son [my man]
but I can't leave my house until I load my gun
I gotta grab my sword
and when I die I got some things I wanna ask the Lord
like, why we dying from AIDS
and why on TV it's aight to be gay
aint that sorta like my gun got the right to be waved
if I could sit back and watch a whole cipher of slaves
ask my man where the blacks at
ask myself where the next Malcolm X at [I don't know]
Is he makin Salat, or upstate like a ape in a box
am I a human or a fallen angel
got to pray by myself cuz I'm out of angle
I aint facin the east, tell the brothers I was shakin the beast
had the nine and the eight in the streets
open your eyes, stay wise, cuz even Satan is deep
I pray for a better living
even though I think I'm better dying
why, cuz I'd rather hear the angels singing
why, and I don't wanna hear my people crying, feel me black
[HOOK]
We aint gotta die no more, I said we aint gotta die no more
Black woman Listen
You aint gotta cry no more, I said you aint gotta cry no more
Black child Listen
We gotta provide for y'all, I said we gotta provide for y'all
Devil man Listen
We got a surprise for y'all, I said we got a surprise for y'all
Black man Listen
[Verse 2]
'Bout to be on some clever shit [I got to be]
I gotta think if the president is prejudice
and that's another eight years down
the 500 year warn, that's a eight year round
I don't really mean to sweat it
but the war been on before they came on your TV and settle
They don't need lead to shoot ya
why would a man make a computer to head the future
I think about it in a weed session
They said better technology, all I see is regressin
blew up our buildings in fact [blow us all up]
but if they live under the sun then them children is black
'fore the devil get more time I'd rather see the world cease
hit the afterlife of world peace
where black men don't die, the women don't cry
and the little kids get provided for and play in the sky, what
[HOOK]

Hold on cause I'm ready to go
Now dig your nails into my mind
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel
This is the part where you hear my voice
And suddenly sends shivers down your spine
Nothings gonna change the way you feel
Now you've heard it you will tell your friends
All about your glorious find
They will start to feel the way I feel
You will think that your the first to hear
Your friends will start to think that your alright
They will start to feel the way you feel
When you hear this song on your stereo
I hope it makes you feel right
Like I felt when I heard the first time
Rocks tonic juice magic
Alive Now your thinking that you understand
Everything that's going through my mind
Now your starting to feel the way I feel
This where you start to analyze
My thoughts my fears my passion and my life
Now your close to feeling how I feel
The best way to take in everything
Is turn it up and flick the light
Now your close your eyes and feel the way feel
Now your about as close as it get's
To understanding me through all these lines
Now you understand the way I feel
Listen carefully
Feel the way I feel
Listen to my voice
Think of something real
Let the music take
Take you far away

Lend me your ear (listen)
Won't you listen?
Listen (listen)
Listen
Listen
Granddaddy was a hustla
On the dirt road
Him and his brother
Stayed sharper than a motherfucker
That nigga stayed on the corner
Stacy Adams never scuffed up (listen)
So that explains bout my daddy and me
I mean the apple don't fall too far from the tree
I was thirteen, mad as hell
Thinking why can't we live up in Beverly Hills (listen)
Wondered why all my homies in my hood were killed
Thinking why I got a 9 in my pocket for real? (listen)
It's gotta be a better life than this
I mean kids shouldn't have to go through this shit

No matter how hard they try can't stop us

Listen
I ain't in love with the situation
But I'ma get by and I'ma get mine
And my mamas and my daddies and my whole line
Until ShaunShaun sitting on a gold mine (listen)
I'ma play my position get up in the middle
Sneak and attack this dog eat dog shit here
A whole lot of folks got to eat here
Grandmamma had 24 kids and that's real (listen)
Cause I plan to build a boys club or something
Where fathers can take their sons on weekends
Cause that's what they need
I don't wanna see them in these streets
These sharks out here and they eating (listen)
I know I been gone for a minute but I'm back
Just to put the West Coast back on track
I gangsta represent it till the day that I die
And I didn't tell a lie
Still gon get by
Listen

All the single mamas it's all good (listen)
All y'all soldiers on the front line

Well I wonder do we learn
Seems we're making the same wrong turn
Call you sacred
Call you obscene
Call you faithless
Call you anything
Call and you listen
chorus:
Listen
Listen
Listen
I'm a liar so it seems
My desire could justify anything
So is there nothing that lies in between
This cold silence and a screamScream
chorus
Caught in the headlights
We are frozen
Can not hide
There's no break
There is no time
If you can
I might listen
Call and you listen
chorus

Mother Russia badly burned
Your children lick your wounds
Pilgrim father sailed away
Found a brave new world

THERE ARE NO LYTRICS TO THIS SONG

"and I'm sorry I had a fucking mental breakdown, how many times did you...could you be normal if someone disrespected your dead father every chance they got?"
All This (all this)...
I cant remeber your face
All this...
No one can take your place
All this (all this)...
I cant remeber your face
All this pain and animosity
It's not everyday I get to sit around and chat, Sit down and think maybe even talk about, that shit just drives me crazy, Fuckin' me up. I'm outta luck like a slut with nobody to fuck, Somebody talk to me, hear me out, lend me an ear, Before I lose it on society and do it so Violently Fearer of fear, hands sweaty, losin' my breath, I'm sittin' with death, somebody sittin' on my chest, Best remedy's revenge on people who wouldn't listen, Cheeks glisten cuz I'm cryin', my vision is so violent, Didn't worry cuz I'm losin' it. Abusin' anybody that's confusin this with lyin or me tryin to get attention, Sention on my mind, all I think about is dyin, In spite of me livin' in Hell, breakin' me down, Outta touch with reality, fuck it I'm out, Everybody in this motha fuckas hearin me now,
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?
I'm so lost without my loved ones can't seen to let go. Why do I keep breathin? Does God want me to die slow? On the edge I stand lookin at the past on wondering how long I'm aloud to carry on so many left that was just to close. At times I feel all alone and I just cant cope. Why did they have to go? Why did they have to leave? If its not family then its the homies from the streets. My minds set not to take that shit, but I gotta stay strong for the sake of my kids. (Hi daddy) How close does the soul gotta get to make you want to slit your wrist after they heart quits? Its so hard to you lose in life but even harder to recover, specially when memories start to smother, you cant run so just take that pain, cause I'ma always gonna hold on to your name rememberin....
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave, Where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?
It's everyday that the anger seem's to be killing me off, It's kinda nice to have a chance to talk,Or rather have you, listen to me, You always listen to me no matter what state of mind my apitimy visited, you were there for me Even when i said i was outta my mind, You were the one that said give it some time, And i would find i could put the peices back together again, you were the one that trusted me til the end, I cant pretend that i never had faith in you, I was only afraid, I knew what was going on, but didnt know what to say I was so young, feeling like my soul was torn,coming to grips with the fact you ain't comin home no more, All this madness, and all this pain, Made something break inside brain, and all this hate, and all this time, Made me reline my mind and I find that...
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity? I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?

Listen as I tell you what you are to me
You're the one thing in this world I really need
Feel my love for you as you lay close to me
Every breath I take I breath for you
Listen to the sound of my heart beat
Spreading love's hot fever with each kiss
Touch the man who owns a part of heaven
And only you could make me feel like this
Every sound you hear means I love you I want you I need you
Listen to my footsteps walking with you
Every sound you hear means I love you
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Every sound you hear means I love you...
Every sound you hear means I love you

[Talkin: Bow Wow]
I'm sayin, I finally found the right girl for me

So you ain't gotta worry bout Lil' Mama comin between we dude
We still homies at the end of the day

[Chorus: Omarion]
No No No

And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that postion
Where he won't listen even if I yell it
Just tryna help before he let that
River push off him into something deep
I wish he would think (uh huh)
I wish he would think (uh huh)
Or listen to me, cause
[Verse: Bow Wow]
I got a love jones but I'm not Larenz Tate
How would it sound if I asked you "Wanna date? "
(How would that sound mama?)
I know a place me and you, girl, can get away
My niggas tryna talk to me forget what they say
She'll ride for a nigga, she a down a** chick
Run them otha chicks to the exit quick
Let them niggas hate
They gon hate but them niggas can't tell me shit
Let her meet my mama, she don't be with all the drama
Spend bread on my broad (cash)
Cause she know it ain't a problem
I splurge on my lady, hit the mall with my lady
I love my lady, I know she would neva play me
She be moaning, groaning making them sounds
Everytime a nigga lay that pipe down
Give it to her how she want, when she want it
That grown man, I'm a... Yep that's my style

Think I might wife her
My nigga don't like her

Or listen to me cause
[Verse: Omarion]
Now what am I gonna do

Been in this postion before
Put my man up on game
Said I was tryna hate
Now he ain't my nigga no more
I don't want the same thing to go down
Between me and bow, we gettin this money mayne
There's gotta be a way to do this
Cause my nigga's walkin round clueless
Do I? Come right out and talk about it
Or do I just beat around the bush about it
Or should I? Let Lil' Ronnie tell him for me
No I feel obligated, That's my homie
What would you do if you was me mayne?
Tell him the truth or let it be mayne?
I'm stuck 'tween a rock and a hard place
But I gotta stop my boy from gettin played
[Chorus: Omarion]
No No No
I don't wanna know it
She got him where she want him
And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that position

Or listen to me 'cause...

I'm gonna show you that good guys don't always win
I'm gonna show you the brighter side of living in sin.
So when you're six feet under, you won't wonder why
Just 'cause you got a halo don't mean that you can fly.
If you thought it was over, you're way off track
You made a blunder, and...
Chorus:
You put me back, back in business,
This ain't no hit or miss, I'm gonna get my way.
'Cause you put me back, back in business,
You're my first witness, and I'm here to stay.
I'm gonna show you good guys always finish last
Speaking of virtue, being nice is a thing of the past.
When I want something done, I'll say it with a gun
Just 'cause you're an angel don't mean you're having fun.
I just wanted to thank you for what you lack
Hope they don't hang you, 'cause...
(chorus)
A tisket, a tasket, you've lost your yellow basket.
(Spoken:) You don't know if you want to hit me or kiss me.
I just wanted to thank you for what you lack
Hope they don't hang you, 'cause...
(chorus)
He's back in business now
Give me a hand and I'll take a bow.
He's back in business now
Bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah.
He's coming back in style
Give me an inch and I'll take a mile.
He's back and why oh why
Bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah.
(repeat)

Cold byday, cold by night
I wonder where the summer's gone
Make no mistake,no mistake
I've got to find you
Well you can tell all your friends
Thatt you found a way
Go tell them all that you've come to stay
(Chorus)
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
(Repeat)
Take your chances
Take your time
Let's take a slow dance out of here
Now I know, now I'm sure
I'm flying tonight
Well you can tell all your friends
That you've found a way
Go tell them all that you're here to stay
(Chorus)
Oh no
Hot by day, hot by night
I wonder where the winter's gone
There's no mistake,no mistake
We feel the same way
Well you can tell all your friends
That you've found a way
Go tell them all you're here to stay
(Chorus 2xs)

[Chorus: Omarion]
No No No
I don't wanna know it
She got him where she want him
And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that position
Where he won't listen
Even if I yell it
Just tryna help before he let that river
Push off him into something deep
I wish he would think (uh huh)
I wish he would think (Uh huh)
Or listen to me 'cause...

Once upon a time I lived those ways just as you
invulnerability I thought was true all that belonged to me
now is gone and now I lay dying with discontent I say to
you now learn from my mistake a dying example of
consequence I make I've lived my life slowly but surely
I've come to know the meaning of my life my days are
numbered now and I can see the end is near I tell this to
you my friend don't go the same way that I went your time
is now so do all the best that you can in life my friends
all have left me just the same... but you still have time

Come on over sir and let me buy you a drink
Cause everyone in the world is simply dying to know just what you think
Yes we value your opinion as a measure of our self worth
Yeah you been in this business awhile but baby I've been destined since birth.
What's your name, don't you work for that radio
That you write for that paper well then by all means you know you know
What's happening now, what's hip, what's putridly insincere.
Yes, you're right it's time for you to go, we don't sell any of that here.
This ain't my thing, you know I really can't compete
Yeah you're as deep as the fucking ocean with your snobbish underground elite.
Perhaps I bite the hand that feeds or cute off my nose to spite my face
But if you didn't come here to hear the truth, you shouldn't have come here in the
first place.
Then I turn to myself and ask if the turn will be mine
Maybe I bitch too much, maybe too angry, maybe I whine
Or maybe the picture of them I paint, I paint too well

Listen
If you think that we're here for the money
You could be right, you know
But the bread is not too good here
Wasn't always like that, you know
I said all you got to do is listen
Listen
If you don't hear it you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us so
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen
Listen
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
I said all you got to do is listen

If they could just see You
See You in the way that I do
Then they wouldn't need the proof that You exist
But they insist
They wanna see Your face yet they have no faith
But to see Your face then faith is all it really really takes
Cuz I want them to know You
They gotta gotta know You
Yes I want them to know You
So now I'll just pray
So now I'll just pray
So now I'll just now I'll just pray
So now I'll just pray
So don't fight your heart
Cuz this is where it all starts
And if you turn your back
Then all you'll lack
Is neverending life
So just listen listen to all that comes from within
Listen listen to all it has to say
And let everything go this way
Let Him in to stay
We're going back to our roots once again

Have you ever thought
Something you forgot
Wired eyes are blinking
Tired minds are thinking
So is this
A decision to live with
The sink keeps on dripping
This will never stop
Where do you get off thinking
You're disentigrating
Because my synnapse is breaking
Listen to listen
Listen this is just a vision
My final decision
Silence is a feeling
The feeling is right
I can just picture you
Huddled in your corner
Picking up your pieces
This will never stop
Now you've got nothing to show

You think you know what makes me happy
You think you know what makes me cry
You think you know everything about me
Well from the horse's mouth it's lies
You say you know the situation
You say you understand just why
You know shit about absolutely nothing
You're gonna get no clues from this guy
You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
You're afraid to admit to being guilty
You're afraid to stare at your face
And you pretend that life is always rosy
Wake up and join the human race
How can you honestly say you love me
When you can't even love yourself
You think your word is gospel now
You're just repeating past opinions
You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
Well you should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced

What's it like to play a part?
What's it like to have a wooden heart?
Every word you say is so rehearsed
You think your clothes and actions control the universe
Listen, what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world
You're the face upon a playing card
A coloured painted cold visage
[You're] just a pawn of somebody somewhere
Only trouble is you're goanna get no-where
Listen, what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world
What's it like to play a part?
[You] got a wooden heart
[You're] just a puppet on a string
A nothing, a no one, no style
[You] just play a part
[You're] just a pawn of someone somewhere
And you'll get no-where
Listen what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world
Goanna change your world
Goanna change your world

Why are you so green
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
And I try
But I never try too long
When you're gone
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Why don't you listen / hear what you're missin'

Listen
I realized my life is flying by and I'm not afraid to die
I made a choice I chose to be the voice of the voiceless you heard that
I sold my soul to punk rock and so I chose to walk alone baby
Yeah, I gotta stay high man you know how I get down never say die never lay down nigga
You realized your life is flying by and you're not ready to die (tell what did I find)
You take a hit you rose and from the hip explode the hollow tip homey
This time the rhymes will cut through the fake cable news
Yeah we gotta stay high man you know how we get down never say die never lay down nigga
Listen times are changing
Everybody knows the games you're playing
One fall down and the rest will follow
Prepare today for the world tomorrow
(Tell what did I find)
I wake up and bake I shake up the world that's what I'm here for
Lights out before the nights out I'm a see what you about baby
There comes a time when every man decides to live or die for freedom
Yeah you gotta stay high man you know how I get down never say die never lay down nigga
The Black car the white collar covers all the bullet holes in the government yard
Try to hold on pray for the dawn but this time the nights are so fucking long
I get confused I don't know how to lose so I keep my DJ on the 1's and 2's
I pay the court I bleed the boss I suffered the loss of a chosen few
Listen times are changing
Everybody knows the games you're playing
One fall down and the rest will follow
Prepare today for the world tomorrow
Listen times are changing
Everybody knows the games you're playing
One fall down and the rest will follow
Prepare today for the world tomorrow
(What did I find)
I know you wanna take an eye for an eye but pretty soon the whole world will be blind
Hey, Hey, Hey, come on

Lullaby skies, unfinished symphony
Illuminate, your stars align
They will lead you until they fade
Showering
In this life you will never be alone
Trusting blindly, trying not to let it show
Finding beauty in the madness
Listen and erase
Finding beauty in the madness
Listen and erase
Sculpting, shaping this masterpiece
Create, transform deus ex machina
I am nothing, a humble man
She makes me a novel
Bound and bleeding, wondering, if you're alone
Trusting blindly, trying not to let it show
[chorus]
Lock, walk a life with me
Walk a life with me
Unlock, walk a life with me
Walk a life with me
[pre-chorus 1]
[chorus]
Listen

Listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
And travel
You find men and women all have trouble
If you travel
You will that the poor are victims of the gun or gavel
If you travel
But be careful now
Be careful of all them folks out there who surround you
Be careful
Some of them really only want to ground you
They only want control
Tear you down to that hole
So be careful
Yeah
Now listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
You can hear the engines stalling
And oh oh the angels falling
Alright

You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
from the bullets you bite
to the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well de ployed
Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
You now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
You now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
When your prophecies fail
When your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
When you're clothing yourself
With the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired
Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all your words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
Fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open
Up and listen
Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Listen
I love the way life screwed up the way you're looking at me
I love your face
Listen I don't mind a temper
But baby I can't chew my supper
I can't even swallow water
I'm all filled up
With my sweet disorder
And I'm about ready to take my elbows off this table
I'm about ready to take this whole world all inside
I'm about ready
To cry
I'm gonna turn you on
You're gonna set me free
I'm gonna make you come
You're gonna live with me
And all the ways I twirl my hair
And all the ways I tie my shoe
I walk away to make sure you care
I shimmy back to you
Oh darling love is real
That's why it seems insane
'Cause all these things we feel
Comes down like pouring rain
And when I say your name
I'm gonna turn you on

(Dwight Yoakam)
Listen in the places you hide
Woah, oh, oh, listen through the stillness inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah listen to the words that are near
And try to hear
Listen take one less step away
Please listen love may persuade you to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby listen past the sound of your fear
And try to hear
Two hearts that doubted now beg to believe
Acting in silence, each whispers a plea
Secrets of longing kept buried away
Sadly their calling grows weaker each day
Yeah, please listen for hope that's been left behind
Listen to the small traces you find
Yeah, yeah, baby, please listen before this chance disappears
And try to hear
Listen in the places you hide
Yeah, listen through the stillness inside
Please, please baby listen for the love that is near
And try to hear
Yeah, listen
Whoa, listen
Please, baby listen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby listen
Past the sound of all fears and try to hear

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....
[Chorus:]
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
Sooo long ago
Ohh I'm free now and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your arms
All cause you won't
Listen...
[Chorus]
I don't know where I belong
But i'll be movin on
If you don't....
If you won't....
LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete
Now i'm done believin you
You dont know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

LYRICS: D. Schoufs/D. Schoovaerts
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just wanna
Take my place
A pretty girl floating in a room
Wrapped in her innocence and her cheap perfume
Fluttering around men like a moth around the light
Think she won't burn herself, well I just think she might
A little girl not a woman yet
Spiteful little eyes that say watch out I'm a threat
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have
Lay your hands
Off my man
Don't you, don't you
Don't you girl, don't you dare
You can call me sweetie and other charming names
Yet you give him the eye while I'm standing next to him
Don't like your ways besides I got my pride
Would you mind me girl stepping aside
Oh! no you don't understand, you're acting amazed
Don't take me for a fool girl, fade away

Have you ever thought something you forgot
Wired eyes are blinking
Shattered minds are thinking
So is this a decision to live with
The sin keeps on dripping
THIS WILL NEVER STOP
Where do you get off thinking
Your disintegrating
Come on it's enough this breaking
Listen to listen
Where do you get off thinking
Your disintegrating
Come on it's enough this breaking
Listen to listen
Listen
This is just a vision
My final decision
Silence is a feeling
The feeling is right
I can just picture you
Huddled in your corner
Picking up your pieces
THIS WILL NEVER STOP
Where do you get off thinking
Your disintegrating
Come on it's enough this breaking
Listen to listen
Where do you get off thinking
Your disintegrating
Come on it's enough this breaking
Listen to listen to
NOW YOU GOT NOTHIN TO SHOW (I ignore you)
NOW YOU GOT NOTHIN TO SHOW (I ignore you)
NOW YOU GOT NOTHIN TO SHOW (I ignore you)
NOW YOU GOT NOTHIN TO SHOW (I ignore you)
NOW YOU'VE GOT NOTHIN TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW
NOTHING TO SHOW

We kwamen van ver
Door stad en land
We namen afscheid
Met een gebroken hart
En in de nacht klonk het laatste lied
Jij stond daar en begreep het niet
De kinderen hadden honger
En waren bang
We moesten weg
Weg van het vlakke land
En in de bergen verloor ik het spoor
Het was in de bergen dat ik ze verloor
Vaarwel - niemand die weet
Vaarwel - waarheen je verdween
Vaarwel
Voor wie weet wat liefde is
Voor wie weet wat verliezen is
Zijn deze woorden
recht uit het hart
Uitgesproken door
Een wanhopige man
Vaarwel - niemand die weet
Vaarwel - waarheen je verdween
Vaarwel

Listen, this stands to reason,
Sure are the season, you know you and I can’t be wrong.
When you walk into the room like a song,
This can’t be wrong.
Tender, long as the leavin’,
I promise you this evening, and it’s moving me along.
But a day away from you is too long.
Much much too long.
Much much too long.
And I guess I’ll say it plain,
We’re one and the same, oh yeah.
In the face of all that’s changed, we’ll stay the same oh yeah.
Last time, I was mistaken,
My faith was shaken and my hope was never strong.
But the fear inside is already gone.
It’s already gone.
It’s already gone.
And I guess I’ll say it plain,
We’re one and the same, oh yeah.
In the face of all that’s changed, we’ll stay the same, oh yeah.
[instrumental]
And I guess I’ll say it straight,
We’re one and the same, oh yeah.
In the face of things that change, we’ll stay the same oh yeah.

What the fuck do they know? [x8]
I know it's like this but that Don't it has to be
You think I'll sit and take this verbal blasfeme?
Well my friend you've pegged me dead wrong
Hide your face in print but I can't bite my tongue
You'd like to think you got me all figured out
Think you know me beyond the shadow of a doubt
Call me out though I said I'm not your enemy
I'll tell you again you haven't heard the last of me
You hear the word but you miss where I'm coming from
Whats said is said and we all know whats done is done
Sit back and judge what I feel, think, do and say
Thats quite a trick when you don't even know me
You don't know me so don't judge me
I never asked you for your opinion
Still you question my incentive
I've got the balls to say I've got nothing to say
Why don't you shut up and listen [x4]
Bastard
Shut the fuck up and listen to this
And say this one more time and when I'm done
You can qoute this fucking line "I don't give a fuck
About you or what you have to say" and thats truth
But I know when it's over you'll be sittin' satisfied
I got pissed so you got your fucking rise
We're getting close to your 14:59 how's it feel?
Don't explain you're out of time
I'm sure you'll get a shot to sound off, make all the
Noise you want it's just talk It doesn't matter now
Hell I forgot your name you'll come and go and
Come and went so whats to say
You don't know me so don't judge me
I never asked you for your opinion
Still you question my incentive
I've got the balls to say I've got nothing to say
Why don't you shut up and listen [x4]
Bastard
Well now it's sad it had to come to this
Just who the hell do you think you are,
Defacing me to make a name for you
Had better watch your fucking back my friend
I have heard enough from fools like you
With your bitter take on the world I would
Say it's you who has nothing worth a shit to say
Just set the record strait

Listen carefully
A message we bring to you.
Listen carefully,
The message he brings to true.
The spirit sees into your heart,
To take you away from the dark.
It is written between the lines,
Listen, don't be fooled.
And it is written that a fool,
Can't see through the lies.
The spirit sees into your heart,
To take you away from the dark.
The spirit sees into your heart,
To take you away from the dark.
We must listen, we must trust,
We must trust the spirit,
He speaks the truth.
Listen
You must listen,
We beg you to listen.
