LISTEN Lyrics by Mr. SOS

Cassette Verité

0

[Produced by Ricky Raw]

[Intro]
This is a track.. that only works.. if you "LISTEN"
..closely to the words..
See you may wanna dance and that's cool but just make sure you
LISTEN to what I'm saying, you know what I'm saying?
You ready? Let's go!

You need to listen
You need to listen
Someone tell them to listen!
You need to listen
(Here we go)

[Verse 1]
This is a track for all the kids in the back
Who say they do but they don't listen to rap
You need to LISTEN
Close to the words cause something dope could occur
And if you miss it folks will know you're a herb
So try to LISTEN to what I'm talkin
Cause even though the rhythm makes you wanna dance
What I'm sayin's important
You need to listen & learn
And this may concern you if you get burned each turn after turn
This is the word
Hip hop deserves to be rich but they use it
To stupefy the movement
For example, let's look at MC Randal
Randal has no other handle so his fans don't LISTEN
To a thing he has to say
They just like him cause he got beats from Jazzy Phay
And when they LISTEN
All they hear is murder & guns
But, whatever, cause he never even been in a punch
Fake talk, fake really all that you see
Fake ID & fake gold in his teeth
Fake flow on the beat
Each line is a punch
This motherfucker couldn't freestyle to save his nuts which got
Not kicked but dropkicked
Daamn, kid
Say goodbye to your grandkids who never would have LISTENED anyways to ya
Cause you're the Milli Vanilli of hip hop music
And if you would have LISTENED to what I'm doing
Then maybe you would know that I was leaving you ruined

You really oughtta listen
You need to listen
Someone tell them to listen!
You need to listen

[Verse 2]
This is a song for people
Who just wanna get along with people
Who are not decietful while they LISTEN
Close to the disc the DJ throws in the mix
Cause that's how you know when to spit while people LISTEN
To the unique
The versatile flow to the beat
And the way it hits your soul when it peaks
Iron lungs with a fire tounge like Friar Tuck
Lighting up getting high as fuck inside the club
Hyped up when the fire comes
Stomping like the drums
Feelin all wired up like Mcgyver's son
So you go for your shot
Try to grab the microphone but security says no & they block
You need to LISTEN close to your heart
Be cool if the dude's bigger than you, you should try to be smart
Tell him to LISTEN, you're on the list
If you're really ill you probably are
Just show him your wrist
But if you're not then get dissed
Get rocked with a fist that feels like a rock or a brick
Just for starting some shit
Never try to be hip when you're really a bitch
Cause when push comes to shove you'll be pushing a stick
All blind saying you was a rapper
Til you lost your way now you're a disaster
You really should have LISTENED instead of playing an actor
You might have been happy ever after
They might have even LISTENED to the words you handed your ass for
And now you gotta start a new chapter

You really oughtta listen
You need to listen
Someone tell them to listen!
You need to listen
