Lord, Listen lyrics

[Verse 1]

Life ain't nothing but a cat-mouse, nigga

Mice get trapped in the trap house, nigga

Lives get sacrificed in the streets

White lights when you blackout, nigga

For my niggas stick and move, better watch that back, fam

Around here you're just another black man

Niggas talk shit but I'm over their verbs like accents and apostrophes

No apologies. Quite advanced, maybe prodigy

Black rap mans dichotomy

Some like the folks and the moes

Niggas better duck when it's birds in the street

Cause you never too fly to get caught by the crows

Better call your god if you doubt my G

Better call Allah if you fuck with the pigs in the house, my G, OnGaud

[Hook]

Lord, Lord, Lord we never listen, do we?

Lord, Lord, Lord, we never

Lord-love to hear the lie. Hate to hear the truth

We love to hear the lies, we hate to hear the truths

Just ginger ale for your hoes, I don't want they souls

Just ginger ale for your hoes, I don't want they souls

[Verse 2]

Sip it like Champagne. Free be the campaign

Pinkies in the air for the swank

Peanut butter loafers, like fuck did you think?

Don't you see the pennies, I don't need your two cents

It ain't never really been about a dollar

Nice with the pen since

Poppin' my collar

Back when Slim was rolling impala. Running from the ops

Parked car cuffed on the curb for the cops

Swerve on the clock

Bet your nose calm fore you swerve on the block

Like, fuck them niggas they don't know our struggle

Like, fuck them niggas they don't know our struggle

Like, fuck them niggas, famo

[Hook]

Lord, Lord, Lord we never listen, do we?

Lord, Lord, Lord, we never

Lord-love to hear the lie. Hate to hear the truth

We love to hear the lies, hate to hear the truths

Just ginger ale for your hoes, I don't want they souls

Just ginger ale for your hoes, I don't want they souls

Thank God they prayed for a nigga

Thank God Rhonda prayed for a nigga

Lord, Lord, Lord, we never listen, do we?
