《The Listening》歌词

[00:00:00] The Listening (倾听) - Little Brother

[00:00:30] Yo I bought a brand new album today

[00:00:32] Decide to take it home kick off my shoes relax and play

[00:00:35] And spin it for the whole joint 'cause I like to get the whole point

[00:00:39] Music is everything to me and I refuse to rock the piece

[00:00:42] 'Cause you're my favorite emcee

[00:00:44] All I want is what you would ask of me hi kwelity

[00:00:47] And some Definition

[00:00:48] Wonder why we bootleg like it's prohibition

[00:00:51] It's difficult it's dismissing

[00:00:53] I got suspicions that your ears to the streets where we're whispering

[00:00:56] Are you listening

[00:00:57] I took your LP to DC where some youngins

[00:01:00] Gave me the LD on how it should be

[00:01:03] Make sure the beat knock till the trunk pop

[00:01:06] And everybody pause when you cruise down the block

[00:01:08] Roll down your window and they ask what you playin'

[00:01:10] But don't nobody care what you're sayin'

[00:01:12] That's what they told me y'all

[00:01:14] This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins

[00:01:17] With real rhymes and skills they believing in

[00:01:19] Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin

[00:01:21] It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening

[00:01:24] They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands

[00:01:26] They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'

[00:01:29] We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland

[00:01:32] Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening

[00:01:45] Music was my sanctuary so I take a long listen

[00:01:48] To hip hop living out my life in songs wishin'

[00:01:51] My parents I could get along with them

[00:01:52] So I would go inside my room and dig deep inside the strong rhythms

[00:01:55] Back when fresh was the word and raw was on prism

[00:01:58] Marley on the boards plus Kane was long livin'

[00:02:01] G rap and A spittin' murderous

[00:02:03] Bought long live the kane sat down and learned every word of it

[00:02:06] Sneakin' my walkman in the homeroom playin' it

[00:02:08] Listen for punchlines delivery and cadences

[00:02:10] But nowadays it's like niggaz wanna play with it

[00:02:13] They hear some good sh*t but don't stop to savor it

[00:02:17] Like one night we was out in my whip

[00:02:19] With some broads just chillin' playin' demos and sh*t

[00:02:21] Asked 'em how I sounded rockin' the mike

[00:02:23] One chick told me all she listened to was beats thank God for ninth

[00:02:26] Trying to get pressed on vinyl 'cause muh'f**kers buy your CD

[00:02:30] But turn around don't even know your song titles

[00:02:32] Like track 2 is hot and track 6 is long

[00:02:35] Ain't even listening I'm hoping I get through to y'all

[00:02:37] This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins

[00:02:39] With real rhymes and skills they believing in

[00:02:42] Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin

[00:02:45] It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening

[00:02:48] They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands

[00:02:50] They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'

[00:02:53] We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland

[00:02:55] Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening

[00:02:58] Fly Motorola diploma style for ice niggaz

[00:03:00] Asparagus rosemary chips for all my nice niggaz

[00:03:20] We roll through niggaz masked in vengeance

[00:03:22] U-Haul emcees chasing Brown Sugars

[00:03:23] And you thought that it would never happen

[00:03:26] Thought that it would never happen

[00:03:29] My clever rappin' keeps my celery growing

[00:03:32] Judy Jetson up in Elroy's thought he was home

[00:03:34] With the Gold Bond Armor-All fatigues on

[00:03:36] Rosey in the pantry with Velma and Shaggy getting they lean on

[00:03:40] He sweeter that a Whitney Hous' track hittin' them high notes

[00:03:42] And Alex Keaton always frontin' like he high post

[00:03:45] Screaming on Justine when he flippin' the script

[00:03:47] Tony Danza left a playa celibate

[00:03:49] Rippin' rhymes for the hell of it

[00:03:51] Check all these b**ches on my Soul Glow city

[00:03:53] Walkin' 'round with Madagascar titties

[00:03:55] Imported for my Cole Train leaves ya elephant niggaz

[00:03:58] Yo peace Jovan the sky be purple and orange

[00:04:01] This is a message for our people chasing Benjamins

[00:04:33] With real rhymes and skills they believing in

[00:04:34] Keeping them bad tapes rolling like Michelin

[00:04:36] It don't matter 'cause niggaz ain't listening

[00:04:39] They ain't listening they thinkin' 'bout they Timbalands

[00:04:44] They say the sh*t we talk about ain't interestin'

[00:04:47] We got a better chance of blowing up in Switzerland

[00:04:50] Holla if you hear it 'cause niggaz ain't listening
