lirik lagu jason cole – listen
[intro]
“he’ll absorb your minds, your memories…”
[verse: jason cole]
listen! i got a bone to pick with rap
it isn’t what it used to be but we can take it back
you want a record deal? you only gotta scream and mumble
i don’t think i’d mind so much if they could keep it humble
coming from a time when hip~hop used to be brain food
nowadays a rapper’s like, “how much can i pay you
for a million youtube hits to get these stupid kids
to believe i’m the hardest artist with the truest sh~t?”
listen! but they’re not even fluent
they don’t even rhyme. they’re a parasitic nuisance
leeching off a younger generation full of puppets
make them do the song and dance and leave them all corrupted
they don’t listen to the verses but they’re jerkin’ and twerkin’
never even heard a word of it but certain it’s perfect
miss the days when passion used to burn like a furnace
we went from license to ill, to only hurt with a permit
listen!
[interlude]
“listen to me! please listen!
you have no choice. please! you have no choice
he’ll absorb your minds
your m~~, your m~~, y~your memories
listen to me! please listen!”
[verse: caribou]
and we here! don’t act like y’all ain’t heard the crew
motherf~ckers out there changing faces more than kirby do
that caribou don’t spit street but i got the curb enthused
because i got the courage to just blurt the truth
wine sipping, mind spinning, as i observe the youth
a new and improved version of an ancient loop
inspiration chasing, breaking out the cage of frustrations
the abrasions i’ve sustained with my escape
are mere reminders that things remain the same unless we change them
acid rain upon my thought train done stained my brain~stem
a bl~~dy red and rusty. fed up, bunch of “just forget it”
things that bother me about my past i’m not going to let it
i just want to be a part something somebody might want to mention
as a part of their method of success, then
i’ll know a motherf~cker passed the test
and made the planet a better place before he left it
[interlude]
“listen to me! please listen!
you have no choice. please! you have no choice
he’ll absorb your minds
your m~~, your m~~, y~your memories
listen to me! please listen!”
[verse: jason cole]
wait a minute. take it back. bait the fishes faking raps
catch ’em, fry ’em up with ketchup, then i’ll take a nap
they’re just looking for a chain to steal and steady tryna make a mil
begging for a label deal but they’re still using training wheels
i guess sometimes you gotta run before you walk though
running off at the mouth doesn’t count. it’s not a talk show
evacuate the building because we’re always spitting hot flows
how the h~ll did you get in from the get~go? you’re not dope
all these rappers focused on materialism
what’s the point in having money if you’re giving up living?
should be getting uplifted, instead you’re hitting on women
everybody needs affection but some get it with rhythm
you can fake it ’til you make it but passion has no replacement
live to work to live to work to live to make a statement
every week i break the bank. i need a better payment
no more playing a game with fate. it’s time for realization
[interlude]
“listen to me! please listen!
you have no choice. please! you have no choice
he’ll absorb your minds
your m~~, your m~~, y~your memories
listen to me! please listen!”
[verse: caribou]
and we some enigmatic b~st~rds casting incantations
not your average modern day savages lacking patience
straining the thing that i masticate with
for the sake of spreading imagination
and my fascination with nature’s changing faces
plus the fate of h0m~ sapiens
just take a look at the state we’re in
all crazed and lazy ever fading away
in the land of the free, daily lies are exchanged
all the while the silence is loud, straight refusing to break
such a shame. what a waste, just a drain on the human race
it’s how we’ve been trained
living under the thumb of a disgraceful wave
they’d rather see us enslaved than see what we can create
it’s insane, so to me the decision is plain
you’re either fighting for you’re freedom or letting your brain dissipate
listen up!
[outro]
“listen to me! please listen!
you have no choice. please! you have no choice
he’ll absorb your minds
your m~~, your m~~, y~your memories
listen to me! please listen!”
