[Verse 1]

Listen, it's education, it's ministry spitting flames

I handle the Word on point like King James

Listen, it's intensity with the intent to punch dents into the status quo

Cause none of y'all got fatter flows

Listen, when God calls a man to stand for something

Becomes tired of fronting and bustin' just for the ohs

Listen, it's Tunnel Rats antagonists Footsoldiers

Live this resistance multiplying the gifts kid

There's no hope in the feeble attempts to roll with us

Leaving your members motionless, even listeners quoting us

Listen, reason and treason, right and wrong decisions

Better learn to count the cost of the mission

Listen, it's love laced with battle raps and punchlines

Hooks that make you look for deeper meaning in rhymes

Listen, determination when the conqueror sings

These are just a few of my favorite things


[Hook 1]

Man, I'm back, listen better heed to the call

Propaganda got a word for y'all

Little homie, I'm back

Listen to the roar of the crowd

People better scream out loud

California, I'm back

Y'all better learn to listen

Cause y'all don't even know what you're missing

Little homie, I'm back

Music industry ain't hopeless

May I present Listen Watch Focus


[Verse 2]

Watch me in the things that I write in songs

I thank God for the right to vote, I vote to right the wrongs

Watch me boy, I'm ambidextrous

[Write to left your right-dancing paint your danger??], boy I'm mean

Watch me, I'm the illustration, the animated imagination

Of a nation that forgot how to dream

Watch me, I'm the warning, the dawn of the last morning

That's coming soon, coming to consume buffoons

Watch me fool, I move fast, line upon line

Deep calls to the deep while y'all tryna shine

Watch me teach truth to even the hood gave up on

That's why they tell me "Prop, we need your songs"

"We gon' be here long, please don't leave us alone"

"When you speak, it reminds us there's a King on the throne"

So watch me esteem my brother higher than self

And watch God multiply that to true wealth


[Hook 2]

Man, I'm back, watch better heed to the call

Propaganda got a word for y'all

Little homie, I'm back

Watch for the sway of the crowd

People better scream out loud

California, I'm back

Y'all better learn to watch

Cause y'all don't even know what you got

Little homie, I'm back

Music industry ain't hopeless

May I present Listen Watch Focus


[Verse 3]

Focus [?] it ain't hopeless to break chains up

You can hang with the change up

Make sure your brain don't hang up

Focus, when God calls you out on your sin

That's an attempt to pull you in from exploding to oblivion

Focus, only things that point you above

Or it'll end your nirvana like Courtney Love

Focus on finish line, better endure

I [bet Christ or the heaven??] as His blood hit the floor

Heaven without His peoples was not what He wanted

So He stretched out His arms and quoted the book of Psalms

Focus, I love Norma Jean-type chords

And maybe one day bust on percussions of Brandon Boyd

Focus so Ozzfest features a rap group

And same kids head bang to Tunnel Rat loops

Focus, taking a pill straight to the hoop

[Rush out a mic diss??] tape your ankles up troops

Focus


[Hook 3]

Man, I'm back, focus on the sound of the call

Propaganda got a word for y'all

Little homie, I'm back

Focus on the move of the crowd

People better scream out loud

California, I'm back

Y'all better learn to focus

That's the real reason I wrote this

Little homie, I'm back

Music industry ain't hopeless

May I present Listen Watch Focus
