Had to do something like this

I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened - when you said “ Boy go and 25664,-227)get a job

Cause if you don ' t 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 put money in my wallet

I shoulda listened - when you said “ Boy make good grades ”

But 37880,-83)instead I was worried about the new J's

I shoulda listened - when you said “ Boy don ' t get no tattoos ”

Now it ' s two years later and I got twenty-two

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 got a concert

I shoulda listened - when you said I need to watch my friends

Cause yesterday my partner got jacked for his Benz

I shoulda listened - when you said don ' t stand on the corner

Cause all black folks do is smoke Marijuana

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened - when you said "Quit standing on the block

Cause all that do is make it easy for the cops "

I shoulda listened - when you said "It don ' t matter what car you drive

Long as you pay your bills long as you survive "

I shoulda listened - when you said "Don ' t be hanging at the club

Cuz people get drunk and want to shoot the club up "

I shoulda listened - when you said "You can ' t please everybody"

Right now I ' m finding out I don ' t need everybody

I shoulda listened - when you said "Don ' t bring them niggas to your house

Cuz when you ain ' t there they ' ll try to break in your house "

I shoulda listened - when you told me you reap what you sow

So everybody I meet I can ' t treat ' em like a hoe

I shoulda listened - when you told me do something with my time

So I picked up the pen and paper and now I ' m writing rhymes

I shoulda listened - when you said "Forget the money put God first "

So that ' s the way I gotta end my verse

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t do that I did it anyway

I shoulda listened

When you told me don ' t hustle but I gotta get paid

I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened

I shoulda listened
