I Should Listened Lyrics

Artist: Lil' Flip
Album: Undaground Legend

(Lil' Flip Talking)
Had to do something like this
I shoulda listened
I shoulda listened

(Lil' Flip)
I shoulda listened - when you said, "Boy go and 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 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

(Chorus repeat 2 times)
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

(Lil' Flip)
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

(Chorus repeat 4 times)
