You Aren’t Listening

You Aren't Listening lyrics

(Verse 1)
Listen
Listen
Nigga you ain't listening
You looking at me like I lost some marbles
Shit is sickening
I'm saying something that's really serious
You be giggling
I talk about my struggles
But you find my life uninteresting
What the fuck is going on
You only hear yourself
It's someone else
The static's on
That’s really fucking rude
But you can’t hear me cause you got your headphones on
Drowning out the sounds of everybody else
Can’t hear somebody next to you that’s screaming out for help
Can’t hear the gunshots
Sirens
Funeral bells
You aren’t listening
But I guess you couldn’t hear me yell
What can you hear then
Your own thoughts
Guess so
Cause I'm pretty sure your ears are fucking rot
Looking at me like I’m an alien
You an astronaut
You don’t understand my fucking language
Oh my fucking god
You don’t understand
Nah
You just don’t wanna listen
I’ve been talking for a minute
But everybody is hidden
Guess no one wants to hear a black man speak his visions
All they hear is blah blah watermelon fried chicken
Nigga if you listened
There’d be more to who I am
But I guess you’re only focused on a bitch with only fans
Never listened to your teachers
Now you failing your exams
Never listened in the start then you won’t listen in the end

(Chorus)
You aren’t listening
I’m talking to a brick wall
But that sounds more interesting
I try to get you to hear me but it be difficult
Like I’m the teacher from Charlie Brown
Looking puzzled bro
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Not really
You can only hear yourself
What a pity
Since you’re never gonna listen then I’m quitting

(Verse 2)
When's the last time you really had a conversation
Actually talked to somebody and when they talked you listened
Must've been a while
Cause you not big on cooperation
It's only you and yourself
No need for complications
No need for anybody else in your life
It's only you, your headphones and your thoughts at night
Somebody tries to bend your ear
You lock them shits up tight
Block em out of your existence
Now you feeling alright
What the fuck bro
Why you gotta be like that
Never listen to a nigga tryna hit you with facts
Help you learn from your mistakes
Get you on a good path
But your ears glued shut as you just walk pass
That's a bitch move
Why you never listen my nigga
Yeah this might be who you are
But you still need a snickers
Open up your fucking ears
And don't just fucking hear
Actually listen to the world
Might just change you nigga
So for once
Listen to the world that you live in
The sounds of words on paper that is slowly being written
The laughter and innocence of bright eyed children
The gentle wind enters your ear
And it's whistling
How about a nice little melody
Really captivates your ears
Truly sounding heavenly
Voice of an angel
Wings and a halo
Takes your breath away but your ears saying hello
Tell me can you hear it now
Are you finally listening to the different sounds
Are you finally listening to the world around
Planes in the sky to the cars that are on the ground
So tell me can you hear it now
Tell me that you hear it now
Are you listening now
Can you hear the sounds

(Bridge)
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Guess not

(Chorus)
You aren’t listening
I’m talking to a brick wall
But that sounds more interesting
I try to get you to hear me but it be difficult
Like I’m the teacher from Charlie Brown
Looking puzzled bro
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Not really
You can only hear yourself
What a pity
Since you’re never gonna listen then I’m quitting

(Outro)
You aren't listening
You aren't listening
You aren't listening
Guess you'll never listen then
