Huh huh
I had to do somethin like dis
Ya know
Huh i shoulda listened
I shoulda listened
[lil' flip - verse 1]
I shoulda listened, when ya said boy go and get a job
Cuz if you dont 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 worryin about dem new j's
I shoulda listened, when you said boy dont get no tattoos
Now it's 2 years later and now i got 22
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 gotta concert
I shoulda listened, when you said i need to watch my friends
Cause yesterday my partner got jacked fo' his benz
I shoulda listened, when you said dont stand on the corner
Cause all black folks do is smoke marijuana
[chorus: repeat 2x]
I shoulda listened, when yo told me dont do that i did it any way
I shoulda listened, when yo told me dont hustle but i gotta get paid
[lil' flip - verse 2]
I shoulda listened, when you said quit standin on the block
Cause all that do is make it easy fo the cops
I shoulda listened, when you said it dont matta what car you drive
Long as you pay yo bills long as you survive
I shoulda listened, when you said dont be hangin at the club
Cause people get drunk and wanna shoot the club up
I shoulda listened, when you said you cant please everybody
Right now i'm findin out i dont need everybody
I shoulda listened, when you said dont brind dem niggaz to ya house
Cause when you aint there theyll try to break in ya house
I shoulda listened, when you told me you reap what ya so
So everybody i meet i cant treat'em like a hoe
I shoulda listened, when ya told me do somethin wit my time
So i picked up the pen and paper and now i write ryhmes
I shoulda listened, when you said forget the money put god first
So that's the way i gotta end my verse
[chorus] - repeat to fade
