Listen Lyrics by VxK

The Open Book: A Paper Trail

2019

To the sound of City Streets, I say
To the sound of city streets, I say
To the sound of city streets, I say...

Listen

To the sound of city streets where sounds of city beings
And raging machines create echoes of a city heartbeat, I say...

Listen

To the voice of a man next to woman who mothered this revelation
Of internal outlooks which we use to speak, I say...

Listen

To the words of he who speaks for me at risk of being unheard
While heeding the right words in a verse 'cause he cares, I say...

Listen

To the silence she passes when glasses get spilt,
& trust is built on the lack of
Never wanting to back off of that which she loves, I say...

Listen

Some say it's skill which at will can drive you over the edge,
Maybe the road less travelled instead,
where you will baffle the evils instead
Of being a head in the midst of God body
With the artery of Poetry. Beat flowing through your heart,
Hardly writing like you used to...
Not that it's a new you, but it's you. Truthfully...
Speak through the silence when violence is imminent,
To have a stranger feeling they knew you,
For the who's who to whom this might just be new school. But, yo...

Listen

Like if my pen bleeds then I should sharpen up my tongue
And aim to Ink scars of many generations to come...
And lead the road if I am one, take the road if I am none...
Of the above like standing on my own two,
Doing this so you... Too...

Listen

When I speak what they, don't talk about
Put faith in those they choose to doubt
Given the option of change that I can pass to this stranger
On the corner of the street, that echoes through the madness
Like I was God; on his knees...
Indeed, I too...

Listen,
Listen,
Listen
