L Jinny - Listen Up lyrics

[Verse 1: L Jinny] I don't need to prove myself, bunch of lousy critics I don't look to you for help, your luck is 'bout to finish Comin' from them estates where they love to doubt abilities And Casper left a kid dead, now he's on the lifers wing Like every time I take a step forward, I take two back And every time I make a real bro, they get caged or clapped And I ain't even tryin' to explain, I just speak on tracks, uh Light up that piff grade, put the beat on max and say Yeah, akhi, we calm, yeah, akhi, we calm Yeah, akhi, we calm, still we get grimy like the reaper Quiet when we speak up, quiet when we speak up Sick of dickheads in the scene actin' like they're G'd up I done seen grands from the bookies in the trap life Went back to the bookies, then they took it all back like f** it, back from the roads with a hoodie and a fat knife I rap guys, akhis know I'm certi, I don't rap lies [Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny] At times I wonder what the f** I'm really here for But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord [Verse 2: Tabanacle] Young and hungry, f**in' with that old rap My friends are back home buckin' with them cold [?] They just sniff a whole bag, [?] couldn't hold back And now they're stuck with this habit in their own track I seen a man smoke crack in a broke can Flyin' cause he's high always lyin' in his own crap Lyin' to his own fam, stealin' from his own nan Three months later, he was dyin' in his own flat I seen an old tramp drinkin' from an old can Thinkin' 'bout life and really wishin' he could go back It's so mad how we struggled when we don't have The same opportunity as others cause their dough's stacked And kids [?] that never seen their road man And sold grams to put money in their own hands They say we've no future but we don't plan Everyday chasin' this money, it ain't a joke, fam [Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny] At times I wonder what the f** I'm really here for But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord [Verse 3: Lev G] It's true, I used to wonder why I flow Why I read at night, and why I draw weed That might help me suppress my need to fight It's not right that I'm one of the only few to see the light So I'm sayin' please Allah, God forgive me for my sins Though I like to think there's only a few But I'll admit it that I'm gettin' to the end of my terror So I thought that I just better repent for the ones that are due Cause now I know the reason I'm here, I'm here to try and open eyes Knowin' exactly how it will appear with the fact that I'm exposin' lies Spit in the booth, hit 'em with proof, tell you, the scene are missin' the truth They are k**in' the youth by livin' a spoof and that's got me kissin' my tooth Stars bangin' but not self-indulgent I am Brad Mannin', I am Ed Snowden I am the one grabbin' onto somethin' that is potent I'm a genius that's rappin' lyrics someone's spoken [Bridge: Tabanacle & L Jinny] At times I wonder what the f** I'm really here for But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord At times I wonder what the f** I'm really here for But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord At times I wonder what the f** I'm really here for But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war Sinnin' but I'm askin' for forgiveness from my dear lord
