i should listened

Lil Flip

Had to do something like this

I shoulda listened
I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened - when you said, ââ?¬Å?Boy go and get a job!
Cause if you donââ?¬â?¢t you gotta sell dope or rob.ââ?¬
I shoulda listened - when you told me I need to go to college
But right now Iââ?¬â?¢m tryin to put money in my wallet
I shoulda listened - when you said, ââ?¬Å?Boy make good grades.ââ?¬
But instead I was worried about the new Jades
I shoulda listened - when you said ââ?¬Å?Boy donââ?¬â?¢t get no tattoos.ââ?¬
Now itââ?¬â?¢s two years later and I got twenty-two
I shoulda listened - when you said ââ?¬Å?Keep playin basketball.ââ?¬
But I was makin moââ?¬â?¢ money standin in the hall
I shoulda listened - when you said I need to be in the church
But thatââ?¬â?¢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 donââ?¬â?¢t stand on the corner
Cause all black folks do is smoke Marijuana

Chorus:
I shoulda listened
When you told me donââ?¬â?¢t do that I did it anyway
I shoulda listened
When you told me donââ?¬â?¢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 donââ?¬â?¢t matter what car you drive,
Long as you pay your bills, long as you survive."
I shoulda listened - when you said "Donââ?¬â?¢t be hanging in the clubs,
Cuz people get drunk and want to shoot the club up."
I shoulda listened - when you said, "You canââ?¬â?¢t please everybody"
Right now Iââ?¬â?¢m finding out I donââ?¬â?¢t need everybody
I shoulda listened - when you said "Donââ?¬â?¢t bring them niggas to your house,
Cuz when you ainââ?¬â?¢t there theyââ?¬â?¢ll try to break in your house."
I shoulda listened - when you told me you reap what you sow
So everybody I meet I canââ?¬â?¢t treatââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢m writing rhymes
I shoulda listened - when you said "Forget the money put God first."
So thatââ?¬â?¢s the way I gotta end my verse

Chorus
