Listen Up Lyrics by Tabanacle & L Jinny

The Unknown

2013

[Verse 1: L Jinny]
I don't need to prove myself, bunch of lousy critics
I don't look to you for help, your luck is 'bout to finish
Comin' from them estates, where they love to doubt abilities
And Casper left a kid dead, now he's on the lifers wing
Like, every time I take a step forward, I take two back
And every time I make a real bro, they get caged or clapped
And I ain't even tryin' to explain, I just speak on tracks, uh
Light up that piff grade, put the beat on max and say
Yeah, akhi, we calm, yeah, akhi, we calm
Yeah, akhi, we calm, still we get grimy like the reaper
Quiet when we speak up, quiet when we speak up
Sick of dickheads in the scene actin' like they Gd up
I done seen grands from the bookies in the trap life
Went back to the bookies, then they took it all back, like
Fuck it, back from the roads with a hoodie and a fat knife
I rap, guys, akhis know I'm certi, I don't rap lies
[Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinnin', but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
[Verse 2: Tabanacle]
Young and hungry, fuckin' with that old rap
My friends are back home buckin' with them cold raps
They just sniff a whole bag, trapper couldn't hold back
And now they're stuck with this habit in their own track
I seen a man smoke crack in a broke can
Flyin' 'cause he's high, but he's lyin' in his own crap
Lyin' to his own fam, stealin' from his own nan
Three months later, he was dyin' in his own flat
I seen an old tramp drinkin' from an old can
Thinkin' 'bout life and really wishin' he could go back
It's all mad, how we struggle when we don't have
The same opportunity as others 'cause their dough's stacked
And kids with mothers that never seen their road man
And sold grams to put money in their own hands
They say we've no future, but we don't plan
Every day, chasin' this money, it ain't a joke, fam
[Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinnin', but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
[Verse 3: Lev G]
It's true, I used to wonder why I flow
Why I read at night, and why I draw weed
That might help me suppress my need to fight
It's not right that I'm one of the only few to see the light
So I'm sayin', please, Allah, God, forgive me for my sins
Though I like to think there's only a few
But I'll admit it that I'm gettin' to the end of my terror
So I thought that I just better repent for the ones that are due
'Cause now I know the reason I'm here, I'm here to try and open eyes
Knowin' exactly how it will appear with the fact that I'm exposin' lies
Spit in the booth, hit 'em with proof, tell you, the scene are missin' the truth
They are killin' the youth by livin' a spoof and that's got me kissin' my tooth
Stars bangin' but not self-indulgent
I am Brad Mannin', I am Ed Snowden
I am the one grabbin' onto somethin' that is potent
I'm a genius that's rappin' lyrics someone's spoken
[Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
