Listening Lyrics by Erinem

Y.B.A.L.A.

2022

VERSE ONE

We’ve never agreed
We’re both too conceited to
Ever concede
To being defeated
I know that you cheated
I know that your DM’s can be deleted
Now you’ve retreated
You found what you needed
I send you a text and you never read it
Won’t throw me a-bone
Again on your-phone
Like we live-alone
A couple-ah strangers
Sharin’ a-home
Unfair an’ unvarying
You compare mе ‘n a disciplinarian
You got too much baggage
Don’t ask me to carry ‘em
Wе are two-souls
Who share an aquarium
I thought that I told you
You don't got a shot
I won’t buy the cow and
I won’t tie the knot
I don't wanna beef
So I go vegetarian
Don’t take a thief
To be a barbarian
Won’t never be ready
To be a pair again
This will not-ever end
With us marryin’
Quit checkin’ out cuz
This ain't a Library
The only “marryin’” (Merriam)
For me is the-Dictionary!
There you go daring
Me to abuse you
I call a truce
And you say
“Screw you!”
Fine! Move your caboose
I gotta get past you
Before my bad-side gets loose

HOOK

So I was speaking, all freaking evening
You didn’t hear a damn thing today
You were daydreaming
And missed the meaning
You don’t hear a damn thing I say
You stare unblinking
What if I’m screaming?
You’re not listening anyway

VERSE 2

You don’t wanna hear
What I wanna say
That is a game
That two can play
Call me a crook
You’re such a cliché
You left me shook
Like poppin’ Champaign
I don’t wanna listen
Whatever you say
The butt of it all
Cuz I’m an ash-tray
You had my attention
What a damn shame
Lovin’ the tension
Go smear a campaign
My feelings for you
Have been overridden
You put me on mute
It can’t be forgiven
And you want a ribbon
For all of your fiction
Make me the villain
You be the victim
Well what a new and
Novel depiction
Hang on the cross
Your own crucifiction
I’m gonna walk
Like an Egyptian
Turn a new leaf
Then the ignition
Man I’m goin’ bananas
I’m reeling
I’m bout to split
You’re not that appealing
I’m switching up the
Story an’ feeling
Been moving up
My floor is your ceiling
You’ve got to be kiddin’
These sides you keep flippin’
You draw the lines, I get to trippin’
Important to listen
But your track is skippin’
You are not Jordan
And I am nobody’s Pippen

HOOK

So I was speaking, all freaking evening
You didn’t hear a damn thing today
You were daydreaming
And missed the meaning
You don’t hear a damn thing I say
You stare unblinking
What if I’m screaming?
You’re not listening anyway
