I shoulda listened
|
|
[Lil' Flip - Verse 1]
|
I shoulda listened, when ya said boy go and get a job
|
I shoulda listened, cause you gotta sell dope or rob
|
I shoulda listened, when you told me I need to go to college
|
but right now I'm tryin to money in my wallet
|
I shoulda listened, when you said boy make good grades
|
but instead I was worryin about dem new j's
|
I shoulda listened, when you said boy dont get no tattoos
|
now it's 2 years later and now I got 22
|
I shoulda listened, when you said keep playin basketball
|
but I was makin mo money standin in the hall
|
I shoulda listened, when you said I need to be in the church
|
but that's hard "why" cause everyday I gotta concert
|
I shoulda listened, when you said I need to watch my friends
|
cause yesterday my partner got jacked fo' his Benz
|
I shoulda listened, when you said dont stand on the corner
|
cause all black folks do is smoke marijuana
|
|
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
|
I shoulda listened, when yo told me dont do that I did it any way
|
I shoulda listened, when yo told me dont hustle but I gotta get paid
|
|
[Lil' Flip - Verse 2]
|
I shoulda listened, when you said quit standin on the block
|
cause all that do is make it easy fo the cops
|
I shoulda listened, when you said it dont matta what car you drive
|
long as you pay yo bills long as you survive
|
I shoulda listened, when you said dont be hangin at the club
|
cause people get drunk and wanna shoot the club up
|
I shoulda listened, when you said you cant please everybody
|
right now I'm findin out I dont need everybody
|
I shoulda listened, when you said dont bring dem niggaz to ya house
|
cause when you aint there theyll try to break in ya house
|
I shoulda listened, when you told me you reap what ya so
|
so everybody I meet I cant treat'em like a hoe
|
I shoulda listened, when ya told me do somethin wit my time
|
so I picked up the pen and paper and now I'm writtin ryhmes
|
I shoulda listened, when you said forget the money put God first
|
so that's the way I gotta end my verse
|
|
[Chorus - repeat to fade]
