Forgot How To Listen Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Hop in your whip whether it’s Pontiac, Infiniti, Ford
Pop in a tape, disc, cassette, or an auxiliary cord
Grad a dutch and take an L ride with your homies and chill
Recline your seat till you can barely see over the wheel
Slam your foot flat on the gas and start traveling fast
Turn up the volume, blast it on max till it rattles the glass
Get absorbed in some classical records and old songs
Till you’re so lost you can’t concentrate on your own thoughts
Because a real MC attacks a song like a poet
So feel free to spit the verse and rap along if you know it
Cause I’ve never been disturbed when I listen to verse ever
I even turn the base down so I can hear the words better
Cause there’s nothing worse than missing shit when it’s spit
Like when you hit a pothole, the disc skips, and you pissed
And if you’re riding with a chick who doesn’t listen to words
And skips through the verse, than kick that stupid bitch to the curb

(Chorus)
Cause I’m a true MC and a Hip Hop head
So I refuse to believe that this Hip Hop’s dead
But it seems like nowadays that no one’s properly spittin’
And the only explanation’s they Forgot How To Listen
So forget about the swagger and the diamonds that glisten
Get some Big Pun, Gang Starr, and Nas in your system
Find the tempo of the song and then just nod to the rhythm
And Imma open up your ears since you Forgot How To Listen

(Verse 2)
Now before you make a choice and determine selections
Know that everyone’s different and has a personal preference
So don’t only search for what you’re expected and you’re supposed to Google
Make your own decisions instead of just what’s promoted to you
Experiment with lyrics, rhymes, and the pace
And overtime you will develop and acquire a taste
Don’t be blinded by blatant garbage who lie and say they’re the hardest
Just find who you can relate to and follow your favorite artists
And when an album dropped I would be anxious for weeks
And when the singles were released, I wouldn’t listen to leaks
Cause it would spoil the experience with words I knew
So I could listen to it entirely the first time through
And you should show appreciation and support to the posse
Whether you cop it in the store or go preorder a copy
Then grab your stashes with some matches and a blunt that’s lit
Rip the plastic off the package then bump that shit

(Chorus)
Cause I’m a true MC and a Hip Hop head
So I refuse to believe that this Hip Hop’s dead
But it seems like nowadays that no one’s properly spittin’
And the only explanation’s they Forgot How To Listen
So forget about the swagger and the diamonds that glisten
Get some Big Pun, Gang Starr, and Nas in your system
Find the tempo of the song and then just nod to the rhythm
And Imma open up your ears since you Forgot How To Listen

(Verse 3)
You should seek those original, sublime, and unique
And find whose rhymin’ schemes are properly combined with beat
Refrain from using any speak because silence is key
And just sit reclined in your seat until the rhyme is complete
Because fans nowadays have fallen victim to the fake
As a slave of Lil Wayne and prisoner of Drake
So nod to the tempo and the rhythm of the base
And my lyrical display’ll let you listeners’ escape
And homage should be paid to the lanes that the legends paved
There’s alotta knowledge you can gain from the heavy weights
So don’t be distracted by the base when the record plays
Let the lyrics soak into brain till it resonates
Then you could understand the logic and intentions
If you process every sentence and then comprehend the message
Then you could decipher between the real and the whack
And that’s how the fuck you’re really supposed to listen to rap

(Chorus)
Cause I’m a true MC and a Hip Hop head
So I refuse to believe that this Hip Hop’s dead
But it seems like nowadays that no one’s properly spittin’
And the only explanation’s they Forgot How To Listen
So forget about the swagger and the diamonds that glisten
Get some Big Pun, Gang Starr, and Nas in your system
Find the tempo of the song and then just nod to the rhythm
And Imma open up your ears since you Forgot How To Listen
