Listen To Me Lyrics

[Intro: Avonlea Montague]
I'm going going gone...

[Verse 1: CASH L3WIS]
Today I'm feelin' alright, The last couple a years I haven't slept right
I'd lay & toss & turn until I felt the break of daylight
But last night I was finally able to sleep
Without the help of any type of sleeping pill I could eat
I guess depression had a tighter grip than I could believe
Like Take a seat L3WIS, I'm here to demolish all your dreams
As it seemed to drag me, more rapidly to my knees
I began to imagine I had the strength that I need
My insomnia disappeared in a full retreat
I saw the mic, picked it up and I began to speak
& now I'm addicted again and not restricted from winnin'
Might'a had a mishap or two in the begginin' but now I've risen
From the dead & I'm not gunna stop, full steam ahead
Even if I'm goin' seventy five & the light is red
I'm a get 'em, split 'em into pieces when I hit 'em
With every non-punchline rhyme that I have written

[Chorus: Avonlea Montague/CASH L3WIS]
I'm going going gone
Lost in a song
Nobody can hear me
It's been too long (You Better)
Listen to me! Can you hear me?
Listen to me! Is anybody there?
Listen to me! Can you hear me? (You better)
Listen to me! (X3)
[Verse 2: CASH L3WIS]
Nowadays ignorance among the young ones
Is ridiculously on the rise, so I - deliver lyrics remedial
Feeble little wannabe lyricists wishin' there written's
Were strong enough & conditioned for recognition
LISTEN! - fear not, for I'm the definition
Positioning my pen, perfect for demolition My acquisition of literacy alters my disposition
Causin' a sea of people to flee in disbelief
It's gotta be, flow under lock & key
NO-body, shy of God can write as hot as me
What I see is a talent deficiency among my peers
& you people feed into it like its all you dummies hear
It's all you dummies here, in the crowd as you cheer
For untalented groups, without a musical ear
I fear - the politics surrounding music now
Make it impossible to produce sound

[Chorus: Avonlea Montague/CASH L3WIS]
I'm going going gone
Lost in a song
Nobody can hear me
It's been too long (You Better)
Listen to me! Can you hear me?
Listen to me! Is anybody there?
Listen to me! Can you hear me? (You better)
Listen to me! (X3)
[Verse 3: CASH L3WIS]
When anybody has a talent, why does any and everybody
Upon the planet, take it all for granted?
Can't stand it! They fail to see the male in me
Like my balls defy gravity & retract inside of me
A lie would be born if I continued happily
Actin' as if I wasn't affected by tragedy & passively
Walked around in the basement writing on the walls
Stumbling by candle light & never saw the sun at all
Maybe then you wouldn't hear my mind echoing
Over these musical compositions we're calling instrumentals
Fundamental rap is what this pen'll write
With articulation intertwined deeply into what I recite
Day & night ya pencil in passages average
& fiery desire inside of you flames after this
I'm a "me is free to speak" activist
When I please & I practice what I preach, so follow me
