Listen Pay Attention - Lil B

Yo, how we gonna come up today?

How am I goin' to eat tonight?

This world is a beautiful struggle

Just tryin' to find a plan to come up, you know what I’m sayin'?

Do my thing like Del the Funky Homosapien, spread this love with it

Thundercat wassup?

How we rockin'?

Compared to my old self, yeah I’m winnin'

Got up to fall down, I miss Thanksgivin'

Can’t take no trips, I’m stuck in the Bay

Layin' on my back, thinkin' about the next day

I want Lucky Charms, that little green elf

Tryin' hit the lotto, that’ll make me smile

Give all my loved ones a money pile

Life’s so good when it’s upside down

Cause when it’s regular, nobody around

Can’t predict when ya come up, you just run up

Hard times come faster than a bitch that nut

When I smile I do that for myself and you

They can take my clothes, but not my spirit

On life’s road, with these pavement lyrics

I’m still in the mix, 2015

Seen the ghetto, and I’ve seen some bad things

So much pain you would think it’s a black dream

A long time ago came from black kings and queens

We mixed together, I’m not no slave but we lost the war

We can’t give up we use swords to guns

Man up, bitches one on one

Got the walk of life, the shame is gettin' better

Seen the struggle, it is my brother

Doubt is my sister, gotta learn to love each other

Cause most times, we fightin' one another

Came up short, but my legs got taller

Failed a couple times, now my ego’s smaller

Red Flame comin' the last chapter, I’m still alive, through the natural

disasters

It’s Lil B

Yo yo yo yo, one, two

I do this for you, I’m like one, two

Yo yo yo, I’m like one, two

I do this for you, I’m like one, two

Yo yo yo yo, one, two, I said it’s like one, two

Yo yo yo yo it’s like one, two

Yo yo, I do this for you

Lil B

If I see it, I know that my dreams is real

If I can’t see it, bet I can hear the deal

Stuck between the wrong and the right

Lost myself, between the idea

Talkin' to myself, I see but not care

Askin' for help, I see it but it’s not there

Devoted my time to the shit that’s not real

Ideas are the things you caught me with

Wanna buy a car but it only switch gears

Material things, it got a nice glare

Fashion, you know i’m fashion

I get so many trends, I set back rappers

I’m tryin' to set up, I’ve been set up

This real hip-hop, I’m a backpack rapper

People talk shit, but not those actions

Can’t fall off, you can’t see me backin'

Had to talk to myself, a homeless rapper

Feel like I’m givin' up my body, tired

Too much, man pass me the lighter

Breeze is soft, walkin' too proud

You’re outside, you’re not inside, you fowl

Don’t judge, from the others outside

Pain on my back, just the world’s outcry

Twelves in my life, for this

So much respect, you feel me?

This is Even Stevens

In my body, am I even breathing?

Young G-Eazy, I want a hook and a key

Knowledge of self, shit is greater than me

G-Eazy showed me he pushed keys to the White House

Black man in the White House, that’s what I’m about

Forgot that, I miss the hood

Real hip-hop, just look

I don’t wan’t no chorus no more, fuck the chorus

Got too much to say this is all important

Swimming in the water, just trying

Stones on my back help me believe

Today becomes yesterday I wanna be alive

We all got the time, we all got the time

It’s timed slavery, just tryin' to confine

Everything’s special, even in my rhymes

Feedin' your soul, every single time

Heartfelt rap, I lead the blind

So many goals just from not doing it

Try everything, don’t be stupid

We all got limits, even no limit

Gotta aim for the stars, move past these gimmicks

Watch how you feel, see your pain

Tryin' to walk in the rain without gettin' wet

My Gucci raincoat knocks off the rain

But when I take it off, it’s all the same

Pay 600 dollars for a tag and a name

What I really want, is to rap with the fame

Should I hate the player, or hate the game?

I hate both, I got options mane

People wanna come around when they sick

If you not sick, they just get so pissed

Keep your circles small, do I even exist?

I woman’s soul deeper than an ass and some tits

People robots, you gotta flip the switch

And ask yourself, «Do I exist?»

It’s Lil B
