I Shoulda Listened

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 I shoulda listened, cause 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 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 can't please everybody Right now I'm findin out I dont need everybody I shoulda listened, when you said dont brind dem niggas to ya house Cause when you ain't there theyll try to break in ya house I shoulda listened, when you told me you read what ya so So everybody I meet I can't treat'em like a ho I shoulda listened, when ya told me do somethin wit my time So I picked up the pen and paper and now I'm writtin 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
