Listen what they say (listen what they say) I wouldn't do that (ooh, ooh) 54-46 was my number, was my number, man Can you hear me say, yeah? (yeah yeah) Right now, someone else has that number Stick it up, mister Can you hear what I'm saying now, yeah

In a permanent state When I was a young boy I tried to listen All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted Maybe you'll know when you see it

(We are not listening, we are on the streets) And in the half light They only echo You told us that We were too young Now that night's closing in Lock us up safe And hide the key

And all these things Now that I got your love girl I'll never ever give it up Ah wan' yuh listen up Because ah love it so much girl I'll always need your kiss and your touch De way you watch

And maybe you should learn to love her like, like the way And remember the time When we were in school, listening to grown ups Didn't learn a thing, but then again you know what You know how to sing But you don't know anything other than that So maybe

It never ends This kills me to know We cannot learn The game isn't done I feel the crawling and haunting upon us until you listen Enough is enough Taking your essence and use it to strengthen their own flesh and blood Time watching as the sand flows

Hear me, I'm cryin' out, I'm ready now Turn my world upside down, find me I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud I need you to see, I'm screaming for you to please Can you hear me? Are you listening? Hear me, hear me, hear me

I know I know what them girls They wanna talk to ya, so shut up and listen! Cause a ride or die man for his ride or die chick, Gets that ride or die pudding for that ride or die shit!

Since I lose my man When I say my prayers My man's gone now Ain't no use a listenin' For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs Old man sorrow's Come to keep me company Whisperin' beside me

Ooh, now I'll never get over you until I find something new Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up Hear my heart go ba-dum, boo'd up That get me high like you do, yeah yeah That get me high like you do Listen my to heart go ba-dum, boo'd up Biddy-da-dum it just won't
