Not Listening

[Verse 1: J-Live] I was hearing this MC spitting this song Rapping his ass off like 20 bars long Voice was dope, the beat was mad strong Sample was chopped fresh but something was wrong It wasn't the flow, that shit was right on time He was all up in the pocket riding the bassline I was impressed by the words he chose to rhyme It was a divine design similar to mine Like man why I never thought to use that before this Really all in all his rap style was flawless But regardless for some strage reason I wasn't moved Or compelled to laud or applaud this Halfway through the song I'm already bored with And I hate to sound so matter of fact It was definitely dope, certainly not wack There was something it lacked Let me rewind the track Listen once, listen twice, listen three or four times To the point where I started to memorise the lines I finally realised yeah, homeboy could spit But it just didn't matter cause he wasn't saying shit [Hook] I mean if ya'll not saying shit I'm not listening Saying shit, listening Saying shit, listening Ya'll stop saying shit, I stop listening Saying shit, listening Saying shit, listening [Verse 2] Now it's 20-14 know what I mean I feel like I seen and done heard it all in this rap scene So you could say it's mean but see this look on my face If it was a meme it'd be somewhere in between that Condescending Wonka and the skeptical African Do you mean to tell me that we talking 'bout that again You on some next shit, really are you sure? Stop me if we ain't never heard this before Ok, you got on some jewelery, you push a nice ride You really like the color of the leather inside You grew up in the hood and you're surprised you survived You nice on the mic, top ten dead or alive You prefer pretty girls especially thick Coincidentally that's the type that's on your dick Your crazy misadventures are unique and bugged Like remember that time you shot guns and sold drugs Your next album's about to change the game The world's on notice to remember yo name You love where you live and that's where you get your style from How I just summed up your last three albums [Hook] [Verse 3] Saddest part about it is I almost didn't write this There's too many songs already just like this In the name of hip hop trying to represent Complaining about these rappers and they shallow content Like they Luke Skywalker and they taking down Vader Ironically the dark side is calling you a hater I won't even go so far as to say it's insignificant I can't even hate it, I'm simply indifferent All this bullshit is wearing down my endurance All that's left to do is ignore your ignorance You might be lying or it might be true But who cares if it sound like everybody else too And I'm not trying to tell you what to do Let's make that very clear It's your art and your career But that shit you kickin' I ain't tryin' to hear So keep it over there and I'll be over here Cause for real man [Hook]
