I Shoulda Listened Lyrics

    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

    [Chorus: repeat 2X]
    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

    [Lil' Flip - Verse 2]
    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 cant please everybody
    right now I'm findin out I dont need everybody
    I shoulda listened, when you said dont brind dem niggaz to ya house
    cause when you aint 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 cant treat'em like a hoe
    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]
