Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh 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've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete
OH now I am done believing you
You don't know not what I am feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I got to find my own
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
Listen in the places you hide
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
Aching 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
Listen take one less step away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, listen
Don't run so far off today
Please, please, baby listen
Push aside all your fears
And try to hear
Yeah, listen
Listen, please, baby listen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby listen
Past the sound of all fears
"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...
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...
Listen to the whisper of moonlight on the water,
Close you're eyes and listen.
Listen to the singing of the feather on the breeze,
Close you're eyes and listen,
Listen,
listen to the harmony of heart beats in inison
Close you're eyes and listen,
Listen to the rythem of souls dancing 'round the stars,
Close you're eyes and listen, listen, listen
Listen to the ringing of the distant bells calling
Listen to the flutter of an angles wings and high,
Listen to the rapping, the clappin and the buzzing,
Listen to the snow falling gently on the mining town,
Close you're eyes and listen, close you're eyes and
listen.
Listen to whisper of the moonlight on the water,
Listen to the singing of the feather on the breeze,
Listen to the prayers of children to their blessed mother
[Littles]
I knew this chick by the name of Vevorine
Who introduced me to the streets and put me on to the game
We did in the rain, on the hood of a Range
But Vevorine, had a special friend called Heroin
She told me, that's how she met Ray Charles and Marvin Gaye
But back then, I ain't gon' front, I was peddling 'caine
In the, form of crack, she said that was a no-no
Cause it's a poor man's girl, and I will never give love
To how fast heroine, that's low as cocaine was
Martin had a dream, nigga, I did too
To make it out the hood, rich, bitch, off that stoup
So, I took it that thaw, and hit the street
With bundles of that ghetto love, to give it to kids
Momma said, never get high on your own supply
Especially if you plan to leave this hood bitch rich
Reminiscing on my past, damn it brings me to tears
See the more money that comes in, the more I disappear
Fresh to death, the latest kicks, rocking the latest gear
New Year's after the ball, twenty one song in they ear
Watch this strip, make me back it up, D'Angelo knows the feeling
Off that needles warm embrace, in a sexual heeling
This tracks moves like the 70's, got me feeling great
Watching my pen nodding off, spilling words out on the
I'm scared to love, cause you remind me of my past
Baby, you gotta trust me, cause I gotta girl and you got a man
I don't want you to judge me, I just wanna be your friend
Baby, you gotta trust me...
[Khalid]
Aiyo I live by the rules, trust nothing in skirts
Cause with that big butt and a smile, she be waiting to flirt
With a next man, a next hand, up under the skirt
Another dick in the jaw, more dick in the george
While you home sleeping, she creeping, you thinking it's yours
That's just how women is, I reminisce
On when I had to learn from experience, why they call you a bitch
And I ain't the best, but I ain't never denied
Tell me what nigga, flow sicker, spit shit better than mine
The plot dope on these tracks, you get federal time
You get your wig pushed back, that clap metal with mine
I'm on the grind, I don't settle for mines, nigga
With this track, a broad, with a pack, before I peddle a dime
Line for line, whose the best artist, the rest y'all garbage
But it's awkward, it's ass backwards, they still spinning your garbage
It's me, blunt: the artist, y'all niggaz is garbage
[Planet Asia]
Sweat jackets valor, rap money, looking like crack money
Relax, money, niggaz, it's raw, sweet aromatic
Backwood, fanatic nigga, this is Cali
Vigilante's tattered, the wife beaters and khakis
I'm taking over, cause y'all, cooking too much baking soda
B12, rock selling niggaz vacation's over
Medallion's guaca', only rock a three piece suit
Whenever holding case, the cops try to stop us
My henchmen behind me, in black benz's with big toppers
Get up on my life, nigga, the kid's proper
Wrist glint, the big shit, cult following fans be vixen
This is grown man business, pay attention
Or lay your position, fuck around and have a fatal collision
The moment where you should of made your decision
I made it, I'm living, I'm paid and I'm winning
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
THERE ARE NO LYTRICS TO THIS SONG
It seems so easy in the light of day
And when we`re there it always feels OK
But then again
I`m so alone when I am by myself
And can I ever count on someone else?
And then you say
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Why don`t you listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
This kind of thing keeps me awake at night
It gets so I can`t sleep without the light
And then again
I wonder what I`m really wondering for
Cause where we`d be I never felt so sure
And so you say
Oh, it`s not as bad as it seems
Oh, it`s not as crazy as my dreams
As my dreams
Alright I know that I can make it through
I have no doubts here as I talk to you
But then again
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"}
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
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"}
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"}
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
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!"}

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

Just tryna help before he let that
River push off him into something deep

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
But girl I'm the type of

Now what am I gonna do

Been in this postion before
Put my man up on game

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

She got him where she want him
And he's too lost to know it (know it)

From the corner of my eye

Tell your trouble to
Someone stuck here just like you
Sucking in the smoke
Like it's going out of style
And I'll listen to what you got to say
You said it anyway to me
Now I will listen especially at work
It's really not a chore to me
So put me in a bag
And bury me in rags
The lady upstairs
She makes me strong
Can't make it to the bar
Can't make it to the bed
Caught and confused
You give it up for this
Now I will listen to what you have to say
You said it anyway, though you're not, not too sure
You, you will listen because it means that much to you
You're everything I do or see
They may not work it out
They may not work it out
They may not work it out
[Talkin: Bow Wow]
I'm sayin, I finally found the right girl for me
I'm sayin you... you my nigga dog

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

I wish he would think I wish he would think
You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
And the bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed
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
And your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
The silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
In 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
You're 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
Mother Russia badly burned
Your children lick your wounds
Pilgrim father sailed away
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
Listen, listen, listen
I'm a liar so it seems
My desire justify a thing
So is there nothing lies in between
This cold silence and a scream
Scream
Listen, listen, listen
Caught in headlights, we are frozen
Can hide there's no break
No time if you can
I might listen
Call and you listen
Listen, Listen, Listen

[Verse 1: Classified]
Now When I Speak Truth, I Get Labelled As A Asshole
Say What I See, Talk What Class Knows
Everybody Wanna Sit On The Plateau, They Never Grow Up
Stay Young, And Act Out
Never Back Out, Dont Make Assumptions
Tracks Hit And I Still Spit Substance
Yes Y'all, Straight Killin The Public
Over The Top With Next To No Budget
Kids' Tight, But Gotta Stay Focused
Rip Mics, Ripped Off By Promoters
Handle My Biz (Ok) Keep Hands Clean
I Roll Wit A Crew, But Im A One Man Team
And, Doesnt Matter If You Think Im Hot Or Not
Just Keep Talkin Bout Me At The Barber Shop
No Names Drop, That Can Give You Props
Dont Be Jealous, Some Day My Reign Will Stop
But Until Then Im Still Gunna Do This
Without Music, Im Basically Useless
Stand Here For Another 10 Years
Wit A Mic In My Hand And A Beat In My Ear
[Chorus:]
Now Let Me Make Myself Clear, Been Lonely Here For A
Minute
Need To Get This Off Of My Mind, Just Let Me Handle My
Business
Im Takin It One At A Time, Ive Just Begun So Man Listen
So Listen, So Listen, So Listen, Listen, Listen

Never Fall Off, Class Dont Spit It
Freestyle For Hours, [?]
Talk Trash, Kid I Aint Get It
Aint A Funny Guy, But I Leave You In Stiches
And Im'a Say It, Mcs Are Bitches
Always Complain Every Time We Spit Shit
Or Some Women, Guys Have Been Dissin
Damn, I Do It Too And Aint Afraid To Admit It
Feels Like The Whole World Just Flipped Around
I Know Kids Used To Hate, Now Give Me Pounce
Same Time I Know Kids Used To Love Me
Made Moves, Now They Cant Stop Actin Ugly
But That's Hiphop, Your Average Fan
Stay Underground, Be The Favorite Band
Guess It Feels Like They Found Somethin New
But When Other People Like It, They Start Hating You
And That's Hiphop, Embrace My Words
[X2:] Listen , Listen
And I Know What I've Done, Media Ignores Me
I've Done More Than The Artist In Your Story
Go Ahead, Don't Bother To Support Me
There's So Much Hate In My Own Territory
I'll Still Lay Tracks To Rest
Live, In Effect, Class In The Flesh, Man
I Should Teach Rappin Steps
Sell It To Whack Council, Paperback And Secs, Yes
I'll Do What I Need To Survive This
Aint Goin Back To The 9 To 5 Shifts
Smoke Too Much Weed, And Im Tryin To Be The Loudest
Tryin To Make Noise, But I Move In Silence

{Gutair Playing}
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?"
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
I'd hoped you were sorry
For things that you've said
But now disillusion's
All I feel instead
Your head is a mess
And you scream and you shout
'Cos you were born jealous
Forever in doubt
Chorus:
Listen,
Listen to what I've got to say
Why don't you listen
Try to see things my way
Now, listen
why believe I'd deceive you with someone elase
Why don't you listen?
listen
listen
listen
Now, I justify and explain
My deeds all day long
But all you can hear are those voices say
I done you wrong
You want to keep me in chains
But I was born free
And I ain't gonna change
(featuring Slim Thug, Kyleon, Chris Ward & Dre Day)
[Slim Thug]
Close your lips and open your ears, for a change
You just might, learn some thangs
I don't understand your plan, let me get this right
You broke, but you grinding all day and night
You on the block pushing caine, with Jordan's and a chain
I know, everybody wanna have nice thangs
But mayn, you must think the dope game is a game
Fuck around and have yourself, catching a chain
Better stash you some cash, for a rainy day mayn
Cause only God knows, what tomorrow bring
Better listen, I'm trying to stop a lot of sorrow and pain
Cause falling on your ass, is a horrible thang
You better listen, I talk too shit too raw explain
Better learn from the mistakes, of the Outlaw gang
I been there done that, fought that won that
Lost that and got it right back, you better listen
[Hook - 2x]
Quit being hard headed (yeah I hear you mayn)
Open your ears and just listen (yeah I hear you mayn)
Get off your ass and do something (yeah I hear you mayn)
[Kyleon]
It's more than one way out here, to get that do'
It don't take a rocket scientist, to get that bro
You can get that fast, get that slow
Hit licks with that grass, with that blow
Or with that pads, spit that flow
Or gamble with it, try to get back mo'
Uh-uh not me, I refuse to lose
You either got it or you don't, and I refuse to choose
And candy blue's I cruise, cause if I snooze I lose
And if I get out there bad, I just use my tools
My mind and muscle, that helps me grind and hustle
If it wasn't for this rap, I'd try to find a hustle
Why niggaz sitting on they behind, steady trying to hustle
24/7-3/65, my time to hustle
I'd be a dealer out here, I got dimes and shuffles
Kyleon, is what really defines the hustle, just listen mayn
[Hook]
[Chris Ward]
You need to quit talking so much, for a minute and hush
Stop trying to throw down boy, why you in such a rush
You play the game, as if you got a royal flush
But if you don't cool off, you just might get touched
I grind against the grain, and your brain like a crush
Cause for me to get mine, is a plus and a must
But listen, hustling ain't for everybody
Especially if you ain't got the heart, and you's a scary body
Oh but I know, you don't hear me boy
It's gon take som'ing bad to happen, for you to feel me boy
But I'm so sick and tired, of teaching and preaching
You ain't even meet me half way, it's like I'm the only one that's reaching
While you keep leaching, you gon find yourself smashed
Pumped up, wrecked and crashed
You must of forgot my nigga, your future's my past
You oughtta listen, 'fore you wind up on your ass
[Hook - 2x]
[Sir Daily]
On how, I got this cash
I sold zones bled mics, moved rocks and hash
I click pro long, had to get on these blocks and mash
You want your do' long, try to hit these blocks and mash
Be careful though, you got niggaz that watch your stash
And the second you slip get off his hip, gon pop your ass
Get a connect cop a Tech, take your prize in the dash
We balling now, hit the lot put your ride on glass
You hard headed not heated, when you ride on glass
Left it at home, but you need it when you ride on glass
Knocked off your feet you looking weak, your boys slide on past
Had a high class bitch, now you collide with trash
Now you the hoodrat plumber, pushing hoodrat lil' mama
Laid up with the slut, and caught the high five from her
Now you lying like a plumber, sick broke and in drama
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
[Verse 1]
I hit the scene with another persuasion
A criminal invastion
Nigga thats what I'm workin with
Is it my fault or your fault
This world got me goin awol
Whatever the case may be you better believe lil lay play yall hey yall
This ain't the endin it's really just beginnin
Grinnin lord forgive my sinnins and we are can come up winnin
I'm determined to make this work
Just hopin my music makes a difference
A change for better thangs
But most of all a better way
You know we pray and we pray and we pray like every day
But I think we need a little more faith
From across the word of my shoulder
A nigga is gettin older
And everyday I'm out here gettin closer to go
[Chorus]
Momma listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
Brother listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
Burn listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it feels like a niga be talkin the wind
Late night when I'm in my Benz
Thinkin bout my homies in the pin
And my layin in bed and tucked in
And properly fed
Ima make it baby even if I have to bone wit bed
See I ain't worried bot the scrilla cause Ima go getta
A street livin thug nigga by night you should get the picture
Ima a acquir what I quin
Inspired by the pain
You can't retire from the game
When you got everything to gain can you
I'm leavin on the next plain
I don't know when I'll be back again
Trust me and wait for me
I'm hopin everything will be the same
I'm leavin on the next plain
I don't know when I'll be back again
Trust me and wait for me
I'm hopin everything will be the same
[Chorus]
Bone listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
Mo thug listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
[Verse 3]
If I ain't here with you right now
My nigga I'm with you in the heart
How it was just from the start
Y'all know we ain't never gonna fall apart
We know the art of wa
And we pssin it to our children
Yall really don't believe when we say its veary as we real it
Pump your first
You can resist
This thug shit we got to offer
Mo sext just might cost ya
Better pin with the lord who brought ya nigga
I know your moma taught you better than that
And when its cold outside put on a coat and a hat fool
[Chorus]
Momma listen I'm on a mission for my future

That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
Brother listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
Burn listen I'm on a mission for my future
If you new the new the was I perssure the common shoot
That you would listen, but you can't hear me
So I guess I'm going solo I'm still living
[Talking]
And the moral of the story is
All for one, one for all
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
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
Ohh, listen
And all the ways I twirl my hair
And all the ways I tie my shoe
I walk away to make you care
I shimmy back to you
Oh darling love is real that's why it seems insane
For all these things we feel
Comes down like pouring rain
[Intro:]
Telephone rings... This is Haystak... wat up dude...

Y'all in the jacuzzi huh...naw, naw, Imanna rhyme... but go
ahead y'all have a good time... Hangs up... Cha'
I ain't got no time to fuck off money laid up in the hot tub,
Cuz where I'm from time flies by like hot subs,
Cops love to pull you over 'n' search your shit,
Call a female officer to come 'n' search your bitch,
You can't trust neara' motha' fucker to know where you live,
Cuz your frien's turn to your foes,
Bullets holes in the crib,
It's a trip, how the tables have turned,
From bein' broke, to spendin' money like you had paper to burn,
You haters gonna learn what most players already know,
Need to worry 'bout ya own hoes, worry 'bout ya own doe,
Windows break, gun blasts echo,
Swore revenge on 'em, now you just can't let go,
Gotta chip on your shoulder, I know how ya feel,
Pushed over the edge, yous a killa for real,
I bet you sleep with yo' steel,
Ready to let it rang out,
enemies catch ya slippin' they gonna blow ya brains out,
[Chorus:]
"Listen," "Listen,"
"What the fuck, you can't handle it?"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"What the fuck you gonna do?"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"Can't you recognize game?"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"Video survalience, unit one,
We are monitoring the suspect,"
You may got the feds outside, as we speak,
Posted up watchin' you, from across the street,
Rumor has it you offed yo' peeps,
Took over they territory, bought you a jeep,
Iced your teeth and your pinkys
Phones piercin' your ears,
Up in Vips screamin' ain't no bitches in here,
Whatcha mouth
You shinin' like a headlight playa,
You ain't gotta brag,
"That's the mother fuckin' feds right there,"
They hard to spot in the club,
Workin' they plain clothes,
Versatchi shirts, rollies, gators 'n' kangoes,
Look just like you do,
Airs, Axe, FuBu,
You think dudes cool,
But he's the fuckin' police,
You out there shinin', braggin', flossin', yo jew'ry,
Next thing you know you caught up in fronta the damn gran' jury,
Be careful who you talk to,
Neva' let 'em see ya be sof' dude,
These fools tryin' ta off you,
Hear me talkin' to you nephew...
[Chorus:]
"Listen," "Listen,"
"They don't know who they fuckin' with,"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"They can't recognize game,"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"Why the fuck they can't handle it,"
"Listen," "Listen,"
"Think ol' plain clothes dude goin'ta kill you man,"
Robbin' the wrong motha fucker got you caught in the win'
You went into hidin', started offin' your frien's,
Sent ya a message, the next victim 'ill be ya kin,
You put him in that position,
Now he got to do you in,
This fool goes crazy, he done been to the pen,
3 or 4 times, for killin' 5 or 6 men,
You had the hook up,
Front ya twenty, you pay for ten,
Five days shouldn't pass 'fo' you page him again,
Well, six days passed 'fo' they found yo ass,
Filled fulla bullet holes naked in the trash,
Shell casin's on the ground from a 44mag.,
Money that you owed still beside you in a bag,
Slit yo throat from ear ta ear, pulled yo tounge thru yo neck,
Local cops blamed it on the Columbian connects, and ah,
Couple days after you was gone, yellow tape came down,
Would you listen, would you listen
There's a baby crying down in Bethlehem
Would you listen, would you listen
To the voice of hope that's ringing through the land
People listen, listen but still don't understand
Would you listen, would you listen
There's a great man preaching sending out His word
Would you listen, would you listen
To the truth He speaks and still He is not heard
Would you listen, would you listen
To a great man preaching turn your head around
People listen, listen but still don't understand
But don't you know His love will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
If you will open up your ears and open up your heart and listen
Would you listen, would you listen
There's a hammer ringing, ringing through the land
Would you listen, would you listen
To a cruel, cruel message, 'Crucify the man'
People listen, listen 'cause His blood is falling in the sand
But don't you know His love will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
If you will open up your ears and open up your heart
His love will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
If you will
When the Baby cried we closed our ears to wisdom
When the word was preached we closed our minds to love
And when the hammer rang we closed our hearts to Jesus
Now will you listen, listen, listen
His love will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
If you will open up your heart
His love will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
If you will open up your ears and open your heart
Open up your mind and open up your soul
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.
Listen
Lis-listen
Man, I'm telling you the truth.
I already said it once, do I have to spell it too?
Just, (Lis-listen), Okay, L-I-s-t-e-n.
Do you get the picture bitch?
Don't just pretend (Lis-listen)
To the bottom of my soul, I,
I think I love you but you know I gotta go, so
Do you remember when we met first?
You were wearing that red skirt, titties hanging out,
Of course I stared at your breasts first, you then cursed,
"Excuse me, keep your eyes of my chest sir"
I said, "Pardon me, I was just admiring their texture,
When it comes to breast assist, I'm a regular expert".
You smiled, and then you laughed, playing hard to get,
It took a while to get you back, as you was wild just like a cat,
You said you like my point of views, my style, the way I rap.
We would focus on the good times, and never on the bad.
Sure, we was hoping for the good times, with all the time we had.
And you was kinda like a cat, 'cause you slided when you passed
Really beautiful, but you were violent when you scratched.
A boy within my flesh, constantly at war with the,
Poisons in my head, plus the choices weren't the best.
Shit were really pissin' me off, when you toyed within your bed
It was the time of my life, and the story of my death
So, Lis-listen
Man, I'm telling you the truth.
I already said it once, do I have to spell it too?
Just, (Lis-listen), Okay, L-I-s-t-e-n.
Do you get the picture bitch?
Don't just pretend (Lis-listen)
To the bottom of my soul, I,
I think I love you but you know I gotta go, so
Lis-listen
Now, so did you listen
You bastards you miserable fucking bastards
I took you into my home, and I opened up to you
I heard you talkin' about me around town
My business is mine asshole, mind your own
Hey back the fuck out you motherfuckin' punk
When i'm out on the streets you'd better run
All you backstabbing motherfuckers out there
Press play for your worst fucking nightmare
Over the fields and silently I go
Listen, listen, listen
Over the waves and into the morrow
Listen, listen, listen
Thunderous sound, oh, lurking in my footsteps
Echoes resound so all can hear
Listen, listen, listen
To the beat of the drum in you
Listen, listen, listen
To the beat of the drum in you
Pounding, sounding voice in the silence of my soul
Listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen, listen
Through all the toil and radiant pleasures
Listen, listen, listen
Onward I bound toward heavenly treasures
Listen, listen, listen
Thunderous sound, oh rising in the distance
Echoes resound for all to hear
Rhythm resounding for a million years
Listen to the money while it talks,
makes you feel used up and small.
You're caught between its hands.
Why did you try at all?
I listened and remembered what he said-
"What's good for me is good for you.
Be careful what you wish for-
It might come true."
That sometimes, at night,
when you're alone inside your bed,
you think about the things that have been said.
That sometimes your life begins to go
in directions you don't like.
You can't resist the flow.
If you listen then you might.
Then you might.
Listen once and listen good,
what's lost is never coming back.
The people that you trust
are the people you should watch.
Ohh and sometimes, at night,
when you're alone inside your bed,
you think about the things that have been said.
That sometimes your life begins to go
in directions you don't know.
Never knew what you would find.
If you listen then you might.
(solo)
Listen and remember what he said-
"What's good for me is good for you.
Be careful what you wish for-
It might come true."
That sometimes, at night,
when you're alone inside your bed,
you think about the things that have been said.
That sometimes your life begins to go
in directions you don't like.
You can't resist the flow.
If you listen then you might.
Then you might.
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
[Intro:]

[Chris Martin]

[Outro:]
No, no, no
Oh, oooh, yah, lady
Ooh wee
Listen, to these thoughts as they drift away
Worried times
Can turn around all the things we do
Blinded
By veils we hang to avoid the truth
Searching for the times that we lose in youth
Listen
There is no light within my eyes
As darkness comes with no surprise
Shifting shadows on the wall
As night begins to fall
Times so hard hurts me deep inside
But life keeps on movin’ ‘tho’ daybreak seems so
Far away
Listen
Listen can you hear me
Confusion takes me as I sing this song
Leaves me nothing to do but try again
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
Death-like in her pallor
Silver spiders in the parlor glisten
Come into me, listen
We'll open our wounds
Kill the devil moon
Come into me, listen
Am I what you see
Is this what is me
Come into me, listen
A diamond in the rough
A heart torn off the cuff
You wore it on your sleeve
Now come into me
Her heart was all she owned
Her body worn down to the bone
For she gave herself away
On every money day
Yes she took her "payn" in style
For she was saturns child
Come into me, listen
So look at my face
Draw a mask
White circles on the sun
Look at my face
Draw a mask
White circles: its begun
Hollow your mind
Watch yourself die
Come into me, listen
Come into me, listen
My visions escape
As I try to open my eyes
They close again
Are looking for a reason to start this day
But nothing seems to matter enough
Everything is heavy
Am I still alive?
I’m listening to people start their day
But it doesn’t feel like my day at all
And then I hear you song
Touches me the right way
Embraces me
Listening to your song
Awakes me
Staring at squares all day
With places I’ve never been
Hoping for a blackout to save me
But electricity keeps flowing and I surrender
And then I hear you song
Touches me the right way
Embraces me
Listening to your song
Makes me fall in love
Slowly undressing
Trying to remember the day
Nothing worked with me
Not even the wind
When I drove home
If I drove home at all
And then I hear you song
Touches me the right way
Embraces me
Listening to your song
Give a meaning to my…
Listening to your song
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
The faith is all it really, really takes
'Cause 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 don't fight your heart
'Cause this is where it all starts
And if you turn your back
Then all you'll lack is never ending 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
Listen Here
I'll give all my praise to you (You're the one who brought me through)
Through the storm and through the rain (Healed the hurt and healed the pain)
You don't even have a clue (What the Lord is bound to do)
When you put, your trust in Him, Let it all gooooooooo
Cause He's right there waiting for you to let it go
And if you didn't know now you know
That He's always on time let everybody know it's not the time to give up
So no matter what you're going through going through
Just hold your head up high keep pressin for the prize
Cast on Him all of your cares, Leave your burdens there
Listen
His burden His yoke is easy
Everybody Just Listen
Just keep the faith, keep on leaning
Everybody Just Listen
It's not about people pleasing
Everybody Just Listen
It's all about serving Jesus
He's knocking at your door today (Please don't turn Him away)
Give Him every part of you (And your strength He will renew)
Just one taste and you will see (That the Lord is all you need)
Open up your heart and soul... Let it all gooooooooo!
Please Don't Turn Him Away
Cause he right there waiting for you to let it go
And if you didn't know now you know
That he's always on time let everybody know it's not the time to give up

Cast on him all of your cares, Leave your burdens there
Listen
His burden his yoke is easy
Everybody Just Listen
Just keep the faith, keep on leaning
Everybody Just Listen
It's not about people pleasing
Everybody Just Listen
It's all about serving Jesus
Some of the lyrics here are wrong.
The correct lyrics are:
Life is beautiful
Life is good
Been around the world and never thought we could
Still doing shows still rocking the stage
Never get confused with the one who gave it
He�s the one (Who will bring you through)
Yes he will, Yes he will
Hey, Listen Hey, Listen
Listen
His burden his yoke is easy
Everybody Just Listen
Just keep the faith, keep on leaning
Everybody Just Listen
It's not about people pleasing
Everybody Just Listen
It's all about serving Jesus
You may speak to the heart of a crowd
But your words won't always be graceful
This show is a beautiful thing
But we're all in a season of changing
Forget what you know
The things you try to control
You've got to let go
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Your skin will grow old
Your body will slow
There's no hope in escaping
The institution will fold
And go down in a hole
With all your good intentions
Forget what you know
Everything that you control
You've got to let go
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Son, what's spoken
Was born in peace
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Forget what you know
Everything that you control

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
[Hook x2]
When I speek to Shawty, she always listen
When Shawty speak to me, I'm always listening
We listen to each other, that's why were still together
We both know each other and that our love will last forever
[Midget Verse 1]
She's the sparkle in my eye, she the stars in the sky
She the candles on the table, she brings tears to my eyes
She's perfect perfection; she's heading in the right direction
She's got me locked up by her love key, and her love is my only abjection
She's just one of those girls, like a kitty, she needs attention
She's a playful lil thing, she just need love and affection
But I think were falling apart, but baby please don't let go
You're the only girl, in the world, that—to—me—is—special
[Hook x2]
When I speak to Shawty, she always listen
When Shawty speak to me, I'm always listening
We listen to each other, that's why were still together
We both know each other and that our love will last forever
[Midget Verse 2]
She's a moonlit night, a star so bright
She's the tears in my eyes, my soul when I die
I'll love her 'til I'm gone, knowing she was the one
She was Cinderella, and I was Prince Charming
She's on fire, you can call that arson
She stole my heart, she got away with Larsen
She burn it to the ground, nothing on but the radio
Who the one I made it for; she's the one I make it for
Don't worry 'bout the outside, your safe with me indoors
I'm your guardian angel, you aint have to worry no more
[Hook x2]
When I speak to Shawty, she always listen
When Shawty speak to me, I'm always listening
We listen to each other, that's why were still together
[Littles]
I knew this chick by the name of Vevorine
Who introduced me to the streets and put me on to the game
We did in the rain, on the hood of a Range
But Vevorine, had a special friend called Heroin
She told me, that's how she met Ray Charles and Marvin Gaye
But back then, I ain't gon' front, I was peddling 'caine
In the, form of crack, she said that was a no-no
Cause it's a poor man's girl, and I will never give love
To how fast heroine, that's low as cocaine was
Martin had a dream, nigga, I did too
To make it out the hood, rich, bitch, off that stoup
So, I took it that thaw, and hit the street
With bundles of that ghetto love, to give it to kids
Momma said, never get high on your own supply
Especially if you plan to leave this hood bitch rich
Reminiscing on my past, damn it brings me to tears
See the more money that comes in, the more I disappear
Fresh to death, the latest kicks, rocking the latest gear
New Year's after the ball, twenty one song in they ear
Watch this strip, make me back it up, D'Angelo knows the feeling
Off that needles warm embrace, in a sexual heeling
This tracks moves like the 70's, got me feeling great
Watching my pen nodding off, spilling words out on the
I'm scared to love, cause you remind me of my past
Baby, you gotta trust me, cause I gotta girl and you got a man
I don't want you to judge me, I just wanna be your friend
Baby, you gotta trust me...
[Khalid]
Aiyo I live by the rules, trust nothing in skirts
Cause with that big butt and a smile, she be waiting to flirt
With a next man, a next hand, up under the skirt
Another dick in the jaw, more dick in the george
While you home sleeping, she creeping, you thinking it's yours
That's just how women is, I reminisce
On when I had to learn from experience, why they call you a bitch
And I ain't the best, but I ain't never denied
Tell me what nigga, flow sicker, spit shit better than mine
The plot dope on these tracks, you get federal time
You get your wig pushed back, that clap metal with mine
I'm on the grind, I don't settle for mines, nigga
With this track, a broad, with a pack, before I peddle a dime
Line for line, whose the best artist, the rest y'all garbage
But it's awkward, it's ass backwards, they still spinning your garbage
It's me, blunt: the artist, y'all niggaz is garbage
[Planet Asia]
Sweat jackets valor, rap money, looking like crack money
Relax, money, niggaz, it's raw, sweet aromatic
Backwood, fanatic nigga, this is Cali
Vigilante's tattered, the wife beaters and khakis
I'm taking over, cause y'all, cooking too much baking soda
B12, rock selling niggaz vacation's over
Medallion's guaca', only rock a three piece suit
Whenever holding case, the cops try to stop us
My henchmen behind me, in black benz's with big toppers
Get up on my life, nigga, the kid's proper
Wrist glint, the big shit, cult following fans be vixen
This is grown man business, pay attention
Or lay your position, fuck around and have a fatal collision
The moment where you should of made your decision
I made it, I'm living, I'm paid and I'm winning
Cold by day, 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
That 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 found a way
Go tell them all that you're here to stay
(Chorus)
Oh no
Hot by day, warm 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 found a way
[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]
Well, I live too loud and talk too much
But somehow I don't see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice
I pray my list and say my piece
I check you off but I'm incomplete
Seems like what I'm missing the most
Is the sound of your voice
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from you
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing, yeah
I gotta learn to listen
A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn't know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But I have got so far to go
But why is my first reaction
To give my own opinion?
Like I could tell you something
You don't already know
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from you
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing, yeah
I gotta learn to listen
Yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from you
I know what I have got to do
I gotta find out what I'm missing
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from you
I know what I have got to do
I gotta find out what I'm missing, yeah
I gotta learn to listen
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
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
I'm hanging at the circle k
and I'm watching all the hip kids
Tripping on the car wash
and flipping me off today
"Hey man don't you want to see something new today?"
Hey wait now...
As for money ten's for show
Add a twenty she might go down 'cause it keeps her in cool clothes
She hates to sleep alone
So she promises she could do something new just for me
Hey wait now
What's this I'm feeling
What's this, this new, inconvenience
Always I'm in, a little deeper
I should know better
But I never really listen to me
Well I suppose
that's just the way it goes
And it's over now but I found out
Whatever doesn't kill you
only makes you wish it did
So leave me alone
Cause I can't take this anymore
Hey wait now
I know I never really listen to me
I know I never really listen to me
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've been in this business awhile but baby
I've been destined since birth
What's your name don't you work for that radio
Then 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 cut 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
And though afraid they still adjust themselves as they
Listen,
Listen.
I'm listening carefully to where exactly you might be,
Cause I have had enough waiting,
I've had enough waiting for you.
I'm thinking,
I'm thinking of growing old with someone as beautiful as you.
Just ask me to,
Just ask me to.
You.
I'm recalling,
Recalling putting on jackets way too thin,
To fight against snow way to thick.
And it coming down sideways, and you clearing my eyes.
Ooo.
I've had little too much too think,
I've had little too much too think.
And empty rooms tend to make me believe in you.
Surrounded by everything I own,
Boxed and labeled; ready to go.
And not before time,
And not before time.
I'm listening.
I'm listening.
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]
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
(Finding beauty in the madness)
Listen and erase

LISTEN
Sculpting, shaping this masterpiece
Create, transform deus ex machine
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
Finding beauty in the
(Finding beauty in the madness)
Listen and erase

LISTEN
Lock, walk a life with me
Walk a life with me
Unlock, walk a life with me
Walk a life with me
In this life you will never be alone
Trusting blindly, trying not to let it show

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
10). LISTEN
Listen to your heart
It’s always told you the truth
It led you to find love
Even though it wasn’t in view
Unlike me, you could never play the part
Unlike you, I never had the heart
(chorus)
Listen to your heart
Stop and listen to your heart
Now look at our love
We’ve come a long way
Here with me and that’s where you should stay
Two hearts as one, beating on and on
We’ve come a long way
Here with me and that’s where you should stay
Two hearts as one, beating on and on
You’re the one and the feeling so strong
(chorus #2)
Listen to your heart
Stop and listen
Stop and listen to your heart
I stopped to listen, to a voice
In my head
Can you tell me, what you
Just said
The words of him & her & you
Can't seem to hear me
I stopped to rest a bit, to
Crash in my bed
The phone just kept ringing
The light blinking red
The words of him & her & you
Can't seem to sleep
Come sit next to me, I'll sit
Next to you and hear your plea
I stopped to wonder, how
You can stand
To hear every one of us,
All our demands
The words of her & him & you
Can't seem to sleep
Come sit next to me, I'll sit
Next to you and hear your plea
The words of him & her & me
Can't seem to see
If I sit by you, will you sit by me
And hear my plea
I stopped to pray a bit,
To say here I am
Just thought I'd tell you, and
Circles on the water, a lonely tear has fallen
Missing You, I'm missing You
Somehow I can't remember ever forgetting how
I needed You, Lord, I needed You
I serenade the heavens, crying out for mercy
Carry me, Father, carry me
Well, this heart is bleeding, broken, needing,
slowly dying, hardly beating
listening, are you listening
Chorus
Like the air that I breathe, I need You
This image is so surreal
I don't want to live without you Lord
And this is how I feel
I thought I heard an angel, an angel whispering
You're watching me, I know you're watching me
I think I'll rest a while in the knowledge
You are never letting go of me, never letting go
With this holy water falling like the dew
Holy father hold me near You
Listening, are you listening
Chorus
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 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,
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
Don't mess this up.
I told you 10 times.
It's like any other day.
Gotta act like nothing happened.
Watch what you say.
Put the car in drive.
Move it out real slow.
We'll take off like bullets.
And no one has to know.
You, you're gonna listen to me now.
Yeah you, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna
listen to me now.
You, you're gonna watch yourself this time.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to
me now.
I put my trust in you.
The way you trust in me.
Can you keep your head together?
Well let's just see.
No more tricks and no more lies.
Forget your dirty little secret.
Take my advice.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to
me now.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to
me now.
You, you better watch yourself this time.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to
Oh the sun goes sleepy.
And the tears between us.
They make our hearts all dirty.
They never clean us.
Now don't get scared.
You've come this far.
You know what to say.
It's not so hard.
So you're waiting by the phone.
Think it's gonna turn around if you depend on them?
They're gonna let you down.
Tomorrow doesn't know.
What the past is all about.
Now can I keep a secret?
Well let's find out.
You, you're gonna listen to me now.
Yeah, you, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna
listen to me now.
You, you better watch yourself this time.
