Il testo della I should listened

Lil' Flip

(lil' flip talking)
Had to do something like this
I shoulda listened
I shoulda listened

(lil' flip)
I shoulda listened - when you said, ?boy go and get a job!
Cause if you don?t 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 put money in my wallet
I shoulda listened - when you said, ?boy make good grades.?
But instead i was worried about the new j's
I shoulda listened - when you said ?boy don?t get no tattoos.?
Now it?s two years later and i got twenty-two
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 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 don?t stand on the corner
Cause all black folks do is smoke marijuana

(chorus repeat 2 times)
I shoulda listened

When you told me don?t do that i did it anyway
I shoulda listened
When you told me don?t hustle but i gotta get paid

(lil' flip)
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 don?t matter what car you drive,
Long as you pay your bills, long as you survive."
I shoulda listened - when you said "don?t be hanging at the club,
Cuz people get drunk and want to shoot the club up."
I shoulda listened - when you said, "you can?t please everybody"
Right now i?m finding out i don?t need everybody
I shoulda listened - when you said "don?t bring them niggas to your house,
Cuz when you ain?t there they?ll try to break in your house."
I shoulda listened - when you told me you reap what you sow
So everybody i meet i can?t treat?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 i?m writing rhymes
I shoulda listened - when you said "forget the money put god first."
So that?s the way i gotta end my verse
