I'm too caught up in the past
Or what the future will be
With me wantin the last laugh
Or crackin cuz I'm still me
Kill me, I say they're out to
But my family says they're not
So I suppose that now's the time
To strap me down and take your shot, AHH
Sit down
Shut up and listen
You'd think after all we've been through
I'd finally have your attention
If you'd seen me these past years
If your ignorance wasn't a given
You'd be so damn proud
If you took a second and listened
I'm human
I understand a pre-disposition
But your position's based off
Of a misunderstood mission
I'm trying so hard
To make things more clear
But there's clarity I can't hear
With this yelling in my ears
Here's a message for everyone
You don't know me
And neither do I
But I'm hoping these songs'll show me
Why won't you listen
What are you pimpin
What are you missin
Why won't you listen, yeah
Why won't you listen
What are you pimpin
What are you missin
Why won't you listen
Don't fear a man, you can kill him if you need to
But know your hands, know your eyes so you don't see you
Compromise and let them blindly lead you
And congrats on that, you lived your life to never be you
I don't just say things to go in one ear and out the other
I will not lie to you and tell you I don't need the numbers
Understand this means a lot to me
So understand nobody's stoppin me
Now I'm in the present, it would appear the future killed me
So I reversed it back and now I'm here to be who I will be
But still I'm not so certain if a curse can be reversed
And if a curse can be reversed then can the curse still kill a person
Yeah, I'm so twisted cuz I'm lifted with the curtain
And I'm young and motivated, and I'm gifted with a purpose
But God gave me some more, yeah, I also got some curses
Still, looking at me now, tell me, do you feel nervous
Why won't you listen
What are you pimpin
What are you missin
Why won't you listen, yeah
Why won't you listen
What are you pimpin
What are you missin
Why won't you listen
Just listen to me for once in your life
Understand it's not madness from me all the time
I try and I try and I try and I try
To make you believe and to make you realize
You should listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
To me
To me
