Derrik Ment@l - Take a Listen. Lyrics

Too many clones, hold microphones, in a zone
Wannabe drones, proud to share the same tone
They should leave it alone, if they can't be original
Keep it at home, if you want to go digital
It might be off the dome, but that don't mean that it is pivotal
F*ck whatever title you give yourself, because it is mythical
Y'all ain't even lyrical, with no vocabulary,
Miseducatin' the youth, you're my idiot adversary
You got no business with a mic, and no one needs to hear it
Tryin' to get facebook likes, when you've stolen all your lyrics
Whatever happened to old school, don't bite me with your protools
Back in the day it was genuine, and now they think it's so cool
To not have their own style, with a dumb f*ckin' smile
All their friends make cameos, in videos, and think it's wild
Never go the extra mile, because they're always in denial
Wastin' their time, and money, I think it's funny, all the while
How they don't even notice, take a listen
M-E-N-T-A-L, put my name up on the list
Spell it with an at, so you can know just where it is
I'm the one that has the temper, spittin' with a lisp
And I don't like to fight, but we can all be throwin' fists
So don't get pissed when I be on my own philosophy
You be on some robbery, tryin' to cop what I am offering
And that is bothering, I think your S has an apostrophe
Get your head up out your ass, and stop the colonoscopy
Wow, take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud
Take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud
Y'all got to get blunted, to get in the booth, and still not tell the truth
Why you trippin' on this man, when you always have an excuse?
I could care less about rank, or what you think is bank
How you gonna go, and hand out CDs, that are all blank?
Completely unprofessional, you'll never be put on a pedestal
Doin' business like that, your so-called career won't be plentiful
How can you not be sensible, just tryin' to be in the spotlight?
When your mind is closed, and locked tight
Your mouth is open, and not right
Your tracks are hot like frostbite, in the middle of a dead winter
You're about to be done like December, and no one'll even remember
Like that shit's really impressive, same words without a message
You keep tryin' to mimic a gimmick, but it ain't so cool to get arrested
Don't even get it twisted, I don't have to prove shit to a hypocrite
I don't need to go out of my way, to outsmart the idiots
These youngsters are confused, the mic has been misused
Y'all just want to win, but I'm sorry, you're just gonna lose
How long does it really take, before they realize what is fake?
I'm pretty sure, there's more where that came from, but give us a break
Not all of y'all are gangsters, not all of y'all sell dope
And it's not bein' a hater, if we can see right through the smoke
We ain't got to be from the same block, to make some kind of sense
And if you don't like to unify, then go build you a fence
Stay in your comfortable box, until you're lowered in your hole
And if you survive those hard knocks, it's 'cause you found some self control
Play that much needed roll, and provide us with some integrity
You should practice what you preach, don't just be a street celebrity
I got love for you, if you're honest, and a lot more, if you're modest
But start a war, with a carnivore, and they'll see you get demolished
Wow, take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud
Take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud
Take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud
Take a listen, do you hear the sound?
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout?
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be
