I Shoulda Listened - Intellectual

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

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

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
