The Listening Lyrics - Singles - Little Brother

Yo, I bought a brand new album today 

Decide to take it home kick off my shoes relax and play 

And spin it for the whole joint cause I like to get the whole point 

Music is everything to me and I refuse to rock the piece 

Cause you're my favorite emcee 

All I want is what you would ask of me, hi Kwelity 

And some Definition 

Wonder why we bootleg like it's prohibition 

It's difficult it's dismissing 

I got suspicions that your ears to the streets where we're whispering 

Are you listening? 

I took your L-P to D-C, where some youngin's 

Gave me the L-D on how it should be 

Make sure the beat knock 'til the trunk pop 

And everybody pause when you cruise down the block 

Roll down your window and they ask what you playin' 

But don't nobody care what you're sayin' 

That's what they told me y'all

This is a message for our people chasing Benjamin's 

With real rhymes and skills they believing in 

Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michellin 

It don't matter, cause niggas ain't listening 

They ain't listening, they thinkin' bout they timbalands 

They say the shit we talk about ain't interestin' 

We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland 

Holla if you hear it cause niggas ain't listening 

Music was my sanctuary so I take a long listen 

To hip hop living out my life in songs wishin' 

My parents I could get along with them 

So I would go inside my room and dig deep inside the strong rhythms 

Back when fresh was the word, and raw was on prism 

Marley on the boards, plus Kane was long livin' 

G rap and A spittin' murderous 

Bought long live the kane sat down and learned every word of it 

Sneakin' my walk man in the homeroom playin' it 

Listen for punchlines delivery and cadences 

But nowadays it's like niggas wanna play with it 

They hear some good shit but don't stop to savor it 

Like one night we was out in my whip 

With some broads just chillin' playin' demos and shit 

Asked 'em how I sounded rockin' the mike 

One chicl told me all she listened to was beats, thank god for ninth 

Trying to get pressed on vinyl cause motherfuckers buy your CD 

But turn around don't even know your song titles 

Like track 2 is hot, and track 6 is long 

Ain't even listening, I'm hoping I get through to y'all

They say the shit we talk about ain't interestin' 

We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland 

Holla if you hear it cause niggas ain't listening 

Fly Motorola diploma style ice niggas 

Asparagus rosemary chips for all my nice niggas 

We roll through niggas masked in vengeance 

U-Haul emcees chasing Brown Sugars 

And you thought that it would never happen 

Thought that it would never happen 

My clever rappin' keeps my celery growing 

Judy Jetson up in Elroy's thought he was home 

With the Gold Bond Armor-All fatigues on 

Rosey in the pantry with Velma and Shaggy getting they lean on 

He sweeter that a Whitney Hous' track hittin' them high notes 

And Alex Keaton always frontin' like he high post 

Screaming on Justine when he flippin' the script 

Tony Danza left a playa celibate 

Rippin' rhymes for the hell of it 

Check all these bitches on my Soul Glow city 

Walkin round with Madagascar titties 

Imported for my Cole Train leaves ya elephant niggas 

Yo peace Jovan the sky be purple and orange 

This is a message for our people chasing Benjamin's 

With real rhymes and skills they believing in 

Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michellin 

It don't matter, cause niggas ain't listening 

They ain't listening, they thinkin' bout they timbalands 

They say the shit we talk about ain't interestin' 

We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland 

Holla if you hear it cause niggas ain't listening
