《Listening(feat. Kola Rock) (Explicit)》歌词

[00:05:07] Kola Rock:

[00:05:07] I'm listenin' to Loni Listen Smith

[00:05:07] Loni Listen

[00:05:07] Loni Smith and Loni Lin

[00:05:07] They sorta share a common sense

[00:05:07] And if you spend enough time

[00:05:07] Listenin' to me

[00:05:07] Then this is what you'll find

[00:05:07] Inside my mind's contents

[00:05:07] It reads like Chronicles 13

[00:05:07] The Constitution

[00:05:07] The Kama Sutra

[00:05:07] Morrison, La Ruda

[00:05:07] Buddha

[00:05:07] Mansa Musa

[00:05:07] Pharoah Monch & Pharoah Sanders

[00:05:07] It seems I got low tolerance

[00:05:07] And high standards

[00:05:07] Seems I got questions

[00:05:07] That defy answers

[00:05:07] If you were rich while I was starving

[00:05:07] Tell me

[00:05:07] How are we crew

[00:05:07] I'm feelin' like a throw-away-blue

[00:05:07] Like God's first draft of the sky

[00:05:07] Balls it up for something new

[00:05:07] And if you got somethin' better

[00:05:07] Than I'm listenin to you

[00:05:07] If you got somethin' better

[00:05:07] Than I'm listenin? to you

[00:05:07] I let the beat ride

[00:05:07] When I'm listenin? to you

[00:05:07] I'm through

[00:05:07] J-Live

[00:05:07] I been

[00:05:07] Listenin' to records I've collected

[00:05:07] Records I've selected

[00:05:07] And inspected

[00:05:07] Dissected on examination tables

[00:05:07] 'Til my technique was perfected

[00:05:07] Records that have served and protected

[00:05:07] A confidence

[00:05:07] In my own perception of the world

[00:05:07] Once the wax is reflected

[00:05:07] I found myself connected

[00:05:07] To the music

[00:05:07] Like the lyrics were injected

[00:05:07] So now when times are hectic

[00:05:07] I close my eyes and listen

[00:05:07] To the words

[00:05:07] Like advice from somebody

[00:05:07] I respected

[00:05:07] When I was found dejected

[00:05:07] That saying about art and life

[00:05:07] Is really just the half

[00:05:07] When you recognize

[00:05:07] That music is math

[00:05:07] Like a true song

[00:05:07] Is really just a product

[00:05:07] On the answer sheet

[00:05:07] Life's craft is a scrap

[00:05:07] When you show your work

[00:05:07] I would listen with a smirk

[00:05:07] From irony to Irief

[00:05:07] From Bob Marley smokin? stones

[00:05:07] At the building refused

[00:05:07] My girl left me

[00:05:07] Roberta Flack said

[00:05:07] Never you mind

[00:05:07] Love may lose

[00:05:07] But at least you tried

[00:05:07] The wisdom hit me in the eyes

[00:05:07] And I almost cried

[00:05:07] Stevie Wonder saw my tears

[00:05:07] And put the joy inside

[00:05:07] Sade showed me a love

[00:05:07] That was stronger than pride

[00:05:07] Minnie Rippleton

[00:05:07] Invited me to come inside

[00:05:07] Marvin Gaye taught me

[00:05:07] Lessons of anger and time

[00:05:07] That's just the tip of the ice berg

[00:05:07] Floatin' in my mind

[00:05:07] Not to mention

[00:05:07] All the jazz and instrumentals

[00:05:07] That's essential

[00:05:07] And the Hip-Hop elders

[00:05:07] That taught me to rhyme

[00:05:07] That's why I'm still listenin'

[00:05:07] Kola Rock:

[00:05:07] I'm competent with competitions

[00:05:07] I'm competitious

[00:05:07] I'm compliment my compositions

[00:05:07] With lots of pictures

[00:05:07] An album full of mental photographs

[00:05:07] And sorted similes

[00:05:07] Back between the documents

[00:05:07] Of dowries and pedigrees

[00:05:07] Hip-Hop is like my family

[00:05:07] On holidays we *****in? like

[00:05:07] Why you don't freestyle no more!?

[00:05:07] I'm better written

[00:05:07] I like to place my posture

[00:05:07] In a positive position

[00:05:07] I like to be the conduit

[00:05:07] Controlling my condition

[00:05:07] I'm sittin' on the back porch

[00:05:07] Thinkin' and I'm listenin'

[00:05:07] To the earth spinnin'

[00:05:07] To trees rustle

[00:05:07] Wind whistlin'

[00:05:07] To the grass being crushed

[00:05:07] By the feet of small children

[00:05:07] Generations of women

[00:05:07] Whose end was my beginning

[00:05:07] Settling

[00:05:07] The foundation of the building

[00:05:07] Settling

[00:05:07] Of the foundation of self

[00:05:07] Knowin' that my best work

[00:05:07] Has yet to be written

[00:05:07] I'll probably never press it up

[00:05:07] To put on the shelf

[00:05:07] But when times are rock hard

[00:05:07] And money is skin tight

[00:05:07] I'll write my love songs

[00:05:07] On the back of my battle rhymes

[00:05:07] The question wouldn't be

[00:05:07] If I sold my soul

[00:05:07] My soul's been sold

[00:05:07] The question is:

[00:05:07] Was it worth your dime

[00:05:07] Listenin'

[00:05:07] Listenin' to this

[00:05:07] Listenin'

[00:05:07] Listenin' to this
