Stop, Look & Listen Lyrics - Crazy Life - Lil' Rob

[Operator] 

This is the MCI operator 

I have a collect call from..DREAMER 

Who is an inmate in a California State prison 

To accept charges press 5 now {beep} 

Your call is being connected 

Thank you for using MCI 

[Lil Rob] 

Sup ese 

What's up ese... what you know me man? 

Si mon I'm your best homey and you don't even know me 

This vato came up and said "hey what's up holmes" 

I said "you know me?" he said "si mon I'm your best homie 

You were born in September of 1975 

You're already 20 I'm the reason why you're still alive 

I watch everything you do I've seen everything you've done 

I kept you out of jail because i told you when to run 

You packed a gun at the age of 13" 

This vato knows everything about me but this guy I've never seen 

So I said "what you mean?" and he said "follow me" 

I'm going crazy that's exactly what it's gotta be 

He said "let's fly" so we took to the sky 

He said "stop, look and listen pay attention 

Now if you have a question then ask" 

Oh by the way where you takin me? 

He said "stop, look and listen and you will see" 

(Chorus) 

Listen hear what I'm saying 

Listen hear what I'm saying 

Listen hear what I'm saying 

Listen....(la la la la listen to me) 

Do you remember this night? 

Oh yeah homie quite clear 2-27-94 was the year 

Gunshots is all I hear as we hit up the place 

We gave those vatos a taste 

Show 'em not to fuck around but i got shot in the face 

And it was like damn what am i supposed to do 

Now i can't die cause that means they got the best of me fool 

He said "now anyone else would've shook 

Come with me let's take a closer look" 

He took me down to the carucha i was ridin' in 

Who would've thought that a bullet I'd be biting here 

You shoulda heard all the shit that i was sayin' 

I wasn't playin' as we were spraying I wanted to see some levas laying 

Dead in streets of my barrio 

They wanted to take my life and that ain't right 

So we had a gunfight 

Huero and Dreamer backing me up 

And we had the 12-Gauge Mausberg shells stacking them up 

And it was like crazy 

Shoulda been a western flick 

You've got two kinds of vatos who don't give a shit 

They came to my neighborhood and got what they got 

In other words I'm not the only one who got shot leva (fuckin leva) 

(Chorus) 

I can't believe that this is happening to me 

God do you want my life well then take me 

But if not i need some oxygen 

They threw me on a fuckin bed and now I'm off again 

In the life flight helicopter soaring through the sky 

Knowing I could die but still I won't cry 

Cause it's like why shed a tear man 

When everyday I'm wishing that I wasn't here man you catch my drift 

All you vatos need to take note 

I got a bullet in my throat and I'm trying not to choke 

Cause if I do I just might go into a panic 

And then it just might be the end 

Not for this Hispanic 

Fuck no I can't let 'em get the best of me 

Cause if I die there ain't no way I'm gonna rest in peace 

Knowin' that those vatos are standin tall 

Laughin as a Lil' Rob having to take a little fall 

But i ain't one to go out like a bitch 

And i ain't that little vato that vato to go snitch 

It's the barrio's on when I won't break 

So stop look and listen and you'll find that ain't no thing 

(Chorus) 

{Oldie} 

I am saying the truth (the truth) 

I am saying the truth (I said it true man) 

I am saying the truth (la verdad) 

I am saying the truth (si mon) 

Ahhhhhhh
