i should listened
Had to do something like thisI shoulda listened
I shoulda listened
I shoulda listened - when you said, â??Boy go and get a job!
Cause if you donâ??t you gotta sell dope or rob.â?
I shoulda listened - when you told me I need to go to college
But right now Iâ??m tryin to put money in my wallet
I shoulda listened - when you said, â??Boy make good grades.â?
But instead I was worried about the new Jades
I shoulda listened - when you said â??Boy donâ??t get no tattoos.â?
Now itâ??s two years later and I got twenty-two
I shoulda listened - when you said â??Keep playin basketball.â?
But I was makin moâ?? money standin in the hall
I shoulda listened - when you said I need to be in the church
But thatâ??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 donâ??t stand on the corner
Cause all black folks do is smoke Marijuana
Chorus:
I shoulda listened
When you told me donâ??t do that I did it anyway
I shoulda listened
When you told me donâ??t hustle but I gotta get paid
2X
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 donâ??t matter what car you drive,
Long as you pay your bills, long as you survive."
I shoulda listened - when you said "Donâ??t be hanging in the clubs,
Cuz people get drunk and want to shoot the club up."
I shoulda listened - when you said, "You canâ??t please everybody"
Right now Iâ??m finding out I donâ??t need everybody
I shoulda listened - when you said "Donâ??t bring them niggas to your house,
Cuz when you ainâ??t there theyâ??ll try to break in your house."
I shoulda listened - when you told me you reap what you sow
So everybody I meet I canâ??t treatâ??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 Iâ??m writing rhymes
I shoulda listened - when you said "Forget the money put God first."
So thatâ??s the way I gotta end my verse
Chorus
