"...tale of what happens when you don't listen baby"

lyrics

LISTEN BABY

VERSE 1:
Mom says where’d you get that then lays down a slap/
Stole GI Joe of rack mom made me take it back/
What if I didn’t do that or ignored how she raised me/
Peep tale of what happens when you don’t listen baby-/

-steps into theft penny candies from the store/
Metamorphs into BNE picking locks on doors/
Of prison bars slide as I find myself inside/
Luckily the first time I was tried as a child/

You’d think that change my style but back doing it again/
Producing same trends with pen pal new friends/
Minimal regrets making criminal connects/
Not considering amends but who will be my victim next/

Time I’m caught I’m brought up as an adult/
I tried to blame the system but it’s truly my fault/
Double trouble served myself score of love/
For materialism just another brother stuck/

Judge don’t budge from decision with lifetime of conviction/
Latest statistic victim facing recidivism/
Because I didn’t listen I have to sit in prison/
Last place of human race if you hare but don’t listen-

CHORUS:
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen/
Last place of human race if you hare but don’t “listen baby”/
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen/
Last place of human race if you hare but don’t “listen baby”-

VERSE 2:
Now we all know sex is a natural thrill true/
But if not respected it can actually kill you/
Hear safe sex talk and then nod of course/
But soon explore for whores to discourse for intercourse/

A force in my torso pushes me forth/
To score on any court that’s open for sport/
Playing the field as I yield to my lust/
Heeded nuts muted gut saying keep shield up/

Soon I excrete pus got bumps and crotch sores/
Thankfully I’m cured by work of doctor/
Says seconds of pleasure aint worth life of pain/
Prescribes monogamy and wearing coat for the rain/

Still go with lower brain RAW murder like Kane/
Only learned my lesson after help from AIDS/
Life’s gone like orrhea came up short from jizzing/
Last place of human race if you hare but don’t listen/

CHORUS:

VERSE 3
You don’t hear must feel is the message of this tune/
We all make mistakes but it shouldn’t be on loop/
Remove repeat feature and learn from errors/
It’s a win when we listen to the wisdom of our elders/

They’ve been there done that plus love to divulge facts/
Do knowledge and I promise crack bondage of dunce cap/
Covers ears and eyes best take it from your head/
Want to sleep when they speak know we make our own bed/

True taking own steps is how we best learn/
But must you touch fire to confirm that it burns/
Heed words have faith in advice that’s given/
Last place of human race if you hare but don’t listen/

Science letters in listen rearrange to silent/
Can’t always be own pilot in need of wise guidance/
Try it open eyes and ears daily/
First place in human race when you listen baby-
