The Listening (倾听) - Little Brother[00:00:00]
Yo I bought a brand new album today[00:00:30]
Decide to take it home kick off my shoes relax and play[00:00:32]
And spin it for the whole joint 'cause I like to get the whole point[00:00:35]
Music is everything to me and I refuse to rock the piece[00:00:39]
'Cause you're my favorite emcee[00:00:42]
All I want is what you would ask of me hi kwelity[00:00:44]
And some Definition[00:00:47]
Wonder why we bootleg like it's prohibition[00:00:48]
It's difficult it's dismissing[00:00:51]
I got suspicions that your ears to the streets where we're whispering[00:00:53]
Are you listening [00:00:56]
I took your LP to DC where some youngins[00:00:57]
Gave me the LD on how it should be[00:01:00]
Make sure the beat knock till the trunk pop[00:01:03]
And everybody pause when you cruise down the block[00:01:06]
Roll down your window and they ask what you playin'[00:01:08]
But don't nobody care what you're sayin'[00:01:10]
That's what they told me y'all[00:01:12]
This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins[00:01:14]
With real rhymes and skills they believing in[00:01:17]
Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin[00:01:19]
It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:01:21]
They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands[00:01:24]
They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'[00:01:26]
We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland[00:01:29]
Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:01:32]
Music was my sanctuary so I take a long listen[00:01:45]
To hip hop living out my life in songs wishin'[00:01:48]
My parents I could get along with them[00:01:51]
So I would go inside my room and dig deep inside the strong rhythms[00:01:52]
Back when fresh was the word and raw was on prism[00:01:55]
Marley on the boards plus Kane was long livin'[00:01:58]
G rap and A spittin' murderous[00:02:01]
Bought long live the kane sat down and learned every word of it[00:02:03]
Sneakin' my walkman in the homeroom playin' it[00:02:06]
Listen for punchlines delivery and cadences[00:02:08]
But nowadays it's like niggaz wanna play with it[00:02:10]
They hear some good sh*t but don't stop to savor it[00:02:13]
Like one night we was out in my whip[00:02:17]
With some broads just chillin' playin' demos and sh*t[00:02:19]
Asked 'em how I sounded rockin' the mike[00:02:21]
One chick told me all she listened to was beats thank God for ninth[00:02:23]
Trying to get pressed on vinyl 'cause muh'f**kers buy your CD[00:02:26]
But turn around don't even know your song titles[00:02:30]
Like track 2 is hot and track 6 is long[00:02:32]
Ain't even listening I'm hoping I get through to y'all[00:02:35]
This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins[00:02:37]
With real rhymes and skills they believing in[00:02:39]
Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin[00:02:42]
It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:02:45]
They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands[00:02:48]
They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'[00:02:50]
We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland[00:02:53]
Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:02:55]
Fly Motorola diploma style for ice niggaz[00:02:58]
Asparagus rosemary chips for all my nice niggaz[00:03:00]
We roll through niggaz masked in vengeance[00:03:20]
U-Haul emcees chasing Brown Sugars[00:03:22]
And you thought that it would never happen[00:03:23]
Thought that it would never happen[00:03:26]
My clever rappin' keeps my celery growing[00:03:29]
Judy Jetson up in Elroy's thought he was home[00:03:32]
With the Gold Bond Armor-All fatigues on[00:03:34]
Rosey in the pantry with Velma and Shaggy getting they lean on[00:03:36]
He sweeter that a Whitney Hous' track hittin' them high notes[00:03:40]
And Alex Keaton always frontin' like he high post[00:03:42]
Screaming on Justine when he flippin' the script[00:03:45]
Tony Danza left a playa celibate[00:03:47]
Rippin' rhymes for the hell of it[00:03:49]
Check all these b**ches on my Soul Glow city[00:03:51]
Walkin' 'round with Madagascar titties[00:03:53]
Imported for my Cole Train leaves ya elephant niggaz[00:03:55]
Yo peace Jovan the sky be purple and orange[00:03:58]
This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins[00:04:01]
With real rhymes and skills they believing in[00:04:33]
Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin[00:04:34]
It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:04:36]
They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands[00:04:39]
They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'[00:04:44]
We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland[00:04:47]
Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening[00:04:50]
