Listen Up
Listen up people, you got a job to do
You gotta start living life and stop feeling so blue
you're in control of your life, you're in control of your mind
but I'm finding that you're out of control all the time
You gotta slow things down, stop to smell a nice flower
you're not the top pimp so stop vying for power
power through aggression isn't power at all
Have you heard? Every dictator finally falls.
Break down the barriers that hold you back
negativity epitome of cultures obsessed
possessed with possession, 9/10ths of the law
blah blah blah blah lodi da dah dah
You gonna talk too much, over me again
It's okay cause you know I know how to listen
know your time, know your place, take advantage in kind
cause eventually you're gonna run outta my time
Hypocrites come, hypocrites go
gonna wait in the shadows till I get my show
It's my turn to talk, and I demand your ear
cause my shit don't stink, there's a lesson here
Confident arrogance, I'll tell you son
You call me that again and we'll have a problem
Build yourself up, tear others down
You're just winning the award for biggest clown.
There ain't no elite unless we say they are
We got homies all around us who we ignore
Fit the mould to my style, maybe then we'll talk
There's no reasoning there, it's gotta stop.
Listen up people, I got nothing to say
if nothing was something than I'd have my way
It's not a damaging thought, I brought a presence
I'm searching for a zen, finding common sense.
Cents or bills, finding cheaper thrills
I got a dollar for your thoughts and they give me chills
Horror is the selfishness of one-sided thoughts
I guess a self absobed image is the one you were taught.
Tied right to the post, I gotta give the most
You might cook a roast, or maybe offer a toast
Float down a river on a golden dream
It's possible reason we're offering.
What's it gonna take, to find a common source
no remorse, I'm on a never ending course
Showered with confusion, what's the problem here
It appears you don't have a positive ear
Caught red handed, it's a funny game
I'm the one you'll want to eventually blame
we've all been on that journey at some point in our life
You don't think you can change? well, I know its our right.
