Listen Lyrics

Lend me your ear (listen)

Won't you listen?

Granddaddy was a hustla

On the dirt road

Him and his brother

Stayed sharper than a motherfucker

That nigga stayed on the corner

Stacy Adams never scuffed up (listen)

So that explains bout my daddy and me

I mean the apple don't fall too far from the tree

I was thirteen, mad as hell

Thinking why can't we live up in Beverly Hills (listen)

Wondered why all my homies in my hood were killed

Thinking why I got a 9 in my pocket for real? (listen)

It's gotta be a better life than this

I mean kids shouldn't have to go through this shit

I mean this is California, Land of the Free

But every city in America it's plain to see (listen)

Dawg, my people ain't getting they due

That's the reason why we do what we gotta do



Listen

This is for the homies in my hood

All the single mamas it's all good (listen)

All y'all soldiers on the front line

Doing what you got to do to get by (listen)

This is for the struggle it don't stop

This one's for Malcolm, Martin and Tupac (listen)

No matter how hard they try can't stop us

We still gon get by mother fucker

Listen



I ain't in love with the situation

But I'ma get by and I'ma get mine

And my mamas and my daddies and my whole line

Until ShaunShaun sitting on a gold mine (listen)

I'ma play my position get up in the middle

Sneak and attack this dog eat dog shit here

A whole lot of folks got to eat here

Grandmamma had 24 kids and that's real (listen)

Cause I plan to build a boys club or something

Where fathers can take their sons on weekends

Cause that's what they need

I don't wanna see them in these streets

These sharks out here and they eating (listen)

I know I been gone for a minute but I'm back

Just to put the West Coast back on track

I gangsta represent it till the day that I die

And I didn't tell a lie

Still gon get by



Listen

This is for the homies in my hood

All the single mamas it's all good (listen)

All y'all soldiers on the front line

Doing what you got to do to get by (listen)

This is for the struggle it don't stop

This one's for Malcolm, Martin and Tupac (listen)

No matter how hard they try can't stop us

We still gon get by mother fucker

Listen



Baby girl I know you trying to do it by yourself

And ain't nobody there to help you

Seem like nobody cares

For beautiful you (listen)

For beautiful you

Baby boy trying to get up out the game now (so much pressure)

But damn it's so much pressure (so much pressure)

It ain't a penthouse in the sky

It's keeping on the lights

We just trying to get by



Listen

This is for the homies in my hood

All the single mamas it's all good (listen)

All y'all soldiers on the front line

Doing what you got to do to get by (listen)

This is for the struggle it don't stop

This one's for Malcolm, Martin and Tupac (listen)

No matter how hard they try can't stop us

We still gon get by mother fucker
