Classified - Listen lyrics

Listen, Listen, Listen

Class

Ya, Ya, Yo

[Verse 1: Classified]

Now When I Speak Truth, I Get Labelled As A Asshole

Say What I See, Talk What Class Knows

Everybody Wanna Sit On The Plateau, They Never Grow Up

Stay Young, And Act Out

Never Back Out, Dont Make Assumptions

Tracks Hit And I Still Spit Substance

Yes Y'all, Straight Killin The Public

Over The Top With Next To No Budget

Kids' Tight, But Gotta Stay Focused

Rip Mics, Ripped Off By Promoters

Handle My Biz (Ok) Keep Hands Clean

I Roll Wit A Crew, But Im A One Man Team

And, Doesnt Matter If You Think Im Hot Or Not

Just Keep Talkin Bout Me At The Barber Shop

No Names Drop, That Can Give You Props

Dont Be Jealous, Some Day My Reign Will Stop

But Until Then Im Still Gunna Do This

Without Music, Im Basically Useless

Stand Here For Another 10 Years

Wit A Mic In My Hand And A Beat In My Ear

[Chorus:]

Now Let Me Make Myself Clear, Been Lonely Here For A Minute

Need To Get This Off Of My Mind, Just Let Me Handle My Business

Im Takin It One At A Time, Ive Just Begun So Man Listen

So Listen, So Listen, So Listen, Listen, Listen

[Verse 2: Classified]

Never Fall Off, Class Dont Spit It

Freestyle For Hours, [?]

Talk Trash, Kid I Aint Get It

Aint A Funny Guy, But I Leave You In Stiches

And Im'a Say It, Mcs Are Bitches

Always Complain Every Time We Spit Shit

Or Some Women, Guys Have Been Dissin

Damn, I Do It Too And Aint Afraid To Admit It

Feels Like The Whole World Just Flipped Around

I Know Kids Used To Hate, Now Give Me Pounce

Same Time I Know Kids Used To Love Me

Made Moves, Now They Cant Stop Actin Ugly

But That's Hiphop, Your Average Fan

Stay Underground, Be The Favorite Band

Guess It Feels Like They Found Somethin New

But When Other People Like It, They Start Hating You

And That's Hiphop, Embrace My Words

[X2:] Listen , Listen

And I Know What I've Done, Media Ignores Me

I've Done More Than The Artist In Your Story

Go Ahead, Don't Bother To Support Me

There's So Much Hate In My Own Territory

I'll Still Lay Tracks To Rest

Live, In Effect, Class In The Flesh, Man

I Should Teach Rappin Steps

Sell It To Whack Council, Paperback And Secs, Yes

I'll Do What I Need To Survive This

Aint Goin Back To The 9 To 5 Shifts

Smoke Too Much Weed, And Im Tryin To Be The Loudest

Tryin To Make Noise, But I Move In Silence

[Chorus X2]
