(Lil' Flip Talking)
Had to do something like this
I shoulda listened
I shoulda listened
(Lil' Flip)
I shoulda listened - when you said, ?Boy go and get a job!
Cause if you don?t you gotta sell dope or rob.?
I shoulda listened - when you told me I need to go to college
But right now I?m tryin to put money in my wallet
I shoulda listened - when you said, ?Boy make good grades.?
But instead I was worried about the new J's
I shoulda listened - when you said ?Boy don?t get no tattoos.?
Now it?s two years later and I got twenty-two
I shoulda listened - when you said ?Keep playin basketball.?
But I was makin mo? money standin in the hall
I shoulda listened - when you said I need to be in the church
But that?s hard (why?) cause everyday I got a concert
I shoulda listened - when you said I need to watch my friends
Cause yesterday my partner got jacked for his Benz
I shoulda listened - when you said don?t stand on the corner
Cause all black folks do is smoke Marijuana
(Chorus repeat 2 times)
I shoulda listened
When you told me don?t do that I did it anyway
I shoulda listened
When you told me don?t hustle but I gotta get paid
(Lil' Flip)
I shoulda listened - when you said "Quit standing on the block,
Cause all that do is make it easy for the cops."
I shoulda listened - when you said "It don?t matter what car you drive,
Long as you pay your bills, long as you survive."
I shoulda listened - when you said "Don?t be hanging at the club,
Cuz people get drunk and want to shoot the club up."
I shoulda listened - when you said, "You can?t please everybody"
Right now I?m finding out I don?t need everybody
I shoulda listened - when you said "Don?t bring them niggas to your house,
Cuz when you ain?t there they?ll try to break in your house."
I shoulda listened - when you told me you reap what you sow
So everybody I meet I can?t treat?em like a hoe
I shoulda listened - when you told me do something with my time
So I picked up the pen and paper and now I?m writing rhymes
I shoulda listened - when you said "Forget the money put God first."
So that?s the way I gotta end my verse
(Chorus repeat 4 times)
