dtc - listen close lyrics

listen close
listen close n+gga

[verse 1]
yo
destruction make the most noise
creation is quite
maybe that’s why you hear my people when they riot
always falling on deaf ears, i’ve been reminded
y’all don’t want us to break bread nor break silence
now we stuck in the middle like malcolm i keep finding
the only way out of this hole is too keep climbing
people question how united states is so divided
simple math society acting like it’s science
the picture been painted, main problem it ain’t drying
like family tears shed from relatives that be dying
from gun violence, that’s everyday of the week
police spose to keep us safe but some don’t practice what they preach
i’m not tryin to reach and say all of em is bad
plus we got another enemy who don’t wear a badge
ourselves, we need to stop k!lling each other at last
or we see our children heading down the same d+mn path
d+mn , f+ck is you thinking, how was you raised
what is you drinking, kids is dying, mommas is crying, cannot erase this
sh+t is embedded
inside our minds forever is hatred
how can we change, forgive and forget
many will cave in, let’s take a turn, for better or worse
gotta be patient, one day at a time, leading the race
call that sh+t pacing, lately i find, myself in a place
where i feel caged in, open the locks, mental is key
now i’m escaping , man tell me how you relating
i’ll keep on gripping this mic for my kin
i’ve been the underdog ain’t had no hype in the end
i’ll take them chances cause i know one day imma win, word up, word up
[chorus]
and i’ve been in that shallow water
growing up without a father
don’t take it as a negative it only make you stronger
now that you older, you keep on getting smarter
got ya education but that b+tch isn’t from harvard
now go ahead n+gga show em how you bout to prosper
start putting that work in like you got a blue collar

[verse 2]
around the clock, never stop but know your ways
don’t get into a dangerous fast money phase
slanging dope, selling coke, it’s all the same
there ain’t a wallet that’s fat enough to help ease the pain
insane because i knew a n+gga way back
best friends growing up, in high school he ran track
but now he got a track record that would make you gasp
for some o2, we was close too but different paths
lead us to our fates i ain’t seen him till this day
if you happen to hear this one n+gga hope you okay
find your piece of mind, find your stride, and find faith
gotta stay strong and let the other sh+t fall in place
just goes to show this could be you in the game
don’t try to play because that sh+t will get you stuck in a maze but hey
tried to give them a heads up my n+gga
only time will tell if they will adjust my n+gga
only thing we can do is just trust my n+gga
don’t get my hopes up, seem they barely budged my n+gga
don’t judge me n+gga, or put nothing above me n+gga
listen close and hopefully that picture dry a lil quicker
