Artist/Band: Freedom Writers Soundtrack
Lyrics for Song: Listen!!! [Talib Kweli]
Lyrics for Album: Freedom Writers [soundtrack] [2007]



Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your ear

Start repenting 'cause the ending is near

But don't panic, you can't function if you living in fear

Pay attention, you gotta listen to hear

Who the fuck you think you talkin' to?

Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through

Kweli, the flow captain of fast and slow rappin'

I'm so crackin', you ain't heard, your shit appear like closed captions

King of the bars and I'm goin' hard, pause

All my confidence comes from knowin' God's laws

Bangin' on the system, fightin' my kinda war

Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar



Get it now, get it fast, get it right

Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight

But you don't really hear me though

I spit it clearly so it's live out ya stereo

(Listen) to you heart while it's beatin' in your chest

Speakin' to execs and then see behind the desk

(Listen) to your spirit, nothin' weaker than the flesh



So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin' deeper into debt

Real hip hop is missing from the shelf

Yea, that's what you felt when you listen to yourself

Only a few is makings cuts that vintage

So before you spend your heard earned spinach



You love the sounds coming out your speaker

I spit rounds like a nine milimeter

The youth today, they frown at the teachers

They ain't down with no leaders

They don't wanna wait just a (minute) they like what, wait right there

I got reservoir dogs, you'll be missing a right ear

Get it clear, I figure it's my year

I'm everywhere, makin' appearances in niggaz nightmares

Hear the word, peep the flow, check the cadence

What you heard is a pro, I'm so amazin'

Don't front girl you know it's your favorite

New Kweli, yo they runnin' out of patience
