"and I'm sorry I had a fucking mental breakdown, how many times did you...could you be normal if someone disrespected your dead father every chance they got?"
All This (all this)...
I cant remeber your face
All this...
No one can take your place
All this (all this)...
I cant remeber your face
All this pain and animosity
It's not everyday I get to sit around and chat, Sit down and think maybe even talk about, that shit just drives me crazy, Fuckin' me up. I'm outta luck like a slut with nobody to fuck, Somebody talk to me, hear me out, lend me an ear, Before I lose it on society and do it so Violently Fearer of fear, hands sweaty, losin' my breath, I'm sittin' with death, somebody sittin' on my chest, Best remedy's revenge on people who wouldn't listen, Cheeks glisten cuz I'm cryin', my vision is so violent, Didn't worry cuz I'm losin' it. Abusin' anybody that's confusin this with lyin or me tryin to get attention, Sention on my mind, all I think about is dyin, In spite of me livin' in Hell, breakin' me down, Outta touch with reality, fuck it I'm out, Everybody in this motha fuckas hearin me now,
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?
I'm so lost without my loved ones can't seen to let go. Why do I keep breathin? Does God want me to die slow? On the edge I stand lookin at the past on wondering how long I'm aloud to carry on so many left that was just to close. At times I feel all alone and I just cant cope. Why did they have to go? Why did they have to leave? If its not family then its the homies from the streets. My minds set not to take that shit, but I gotta stay strong for the sake of my kids. (Hi daddy) How close does the soul gotta get to make you want to slit your wrist after they heart quits? Its so hard to you lose in life but even harder to recover, specially when memories start to smother, you cant run so just take that pain, cause I'ma always gonna hold on to your name rememberin....
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave, Where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?
It's everyday that the anger seem's to be killing me off, It's kinda nice to have a chance to talk,Or rather have you, listen to me, You always listen to me no matter what state of mind my apitimy visited, you were there for me Even when i said i was outta my mind, You were the one that said give it some time, And i would find i could put the peices back together again, you were the one that trusted me til the end, I cant pretend that i never had faith in you, I was only afraid, I knew what was going on, but didnt know what to say I was so young, feeling like my soul was torn,coming to grips with the fact you ain't comin home no more, All this madness, and all this pain, Made something break inside brain, and all this hate, and all this time, Made me reline my mind and I find that...
I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity? I don't wanna lose you, but I lost you! I Cant Remeber your face Never gonna let go, never gonna back down No One Can take your place Why did you leave? where did you go? I dont know, why did you just go away And Leave me here with All this pain and animosity?

Listen, to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroad
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dream will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or burned

Listen brothers, this has got a lot to do with you.
And my sisters, it also does concern you too.

Not knowing, all the time.
Ther laughing at you like a clown.
Laughing at you like a clown.
Can you see now, that time is right now, right now.
No time to waste, my friend,

Come around one day you'll see,
people will treat it as their destiny.
Its nothing so strange my friend,

Ooo listen brothers, and my sisters.
Listen brothers, eaw yea, and my sisters.

You must make a stand one day,
for its time you stop but think in flight,

Listen,
Listen,
I'm listening carefully,
To where exactly you might be,
Cause i've had enough waiting.
I've had enough waiting for you.
I'm thinking,
I'm thinking,
Of growing old with someone
As beautiful as you
Just ask me to,
Just ask me to.
I'm recalling,
Recalling,
Putting on jackets way too thin,
To fight against cold way too thick.
And it coming down sideways,
And you clearing my eyes.
I've had a little too much to think.
I've had a little too much to think.
And empty rooms tend to make,
Me believe in you.
Surrounded by everything I own,
Boxed and labeled, ready to go.
Not before time, not before time.
I'm listening, I'm listening.
Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within

You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago
Ohh I'm free now and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...

Well I wonder do we learn
Seems we're making the same wrong turn
Call you sacred call you obscene
Call you faithless call you anything
Call and you listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
So I'm a liar so it seems
My desire could justify anything
So is there nothing that lies in between
This cold silence and a scream
Scream listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
Caught in headlines
We are frozen
Cannot hide
There's no break
No time
If you can
I might
Listen
Call and you listen

It’s deep deep, deep in my heart
In the sanctuary where nothing echoed
heat heat, it caught on fire, so I can’t return
It’s shock shock, a shock that I send you
Saying, “Hey, let’s go everywhere together”
rock rock, the storm and tsunami of sound lure each other
A dropped pick, a broken stick
Aren’t problems at all
We’re within the same sound, and that’s actually a miracle
We’ll sing, we’ll sing as long as we feel like it
No matter how small it is, it’s our single song in the world
I want to live with all my might
So much that I won’t regret it even if I die today
Release, passionate
This is a PRECIOUS Heart Beat of ours
We’ll sing
Non sweet, sweet, your true nature is more comfortable
Than sweet words, right? Touch of mind, yeah
wit wit, it’d be fun to tell me, always and forever
Non stop stop, because my newborn feelings
Are hurrying faster than light
rock rock, I’ve got to catch them with sound and tell them to you
A running rhythm, a crazed tuning
Are all within my assumption
I’m choosing the same dream, and that’s the power for tomorrow
We’ll shout, we’ll shout even if we’re on an away stage
Because no matter how scared we are, we’re not alone
Even if it’s unfinished, I don’t mind
I really want to play it
Reach, truthfulness
We were finally able to meet, this is our TREASURE Heart Beat
We want to know…to live…to love
The countless prayers-
Make them heard, make them into wings, Can Fly High
We’ll sing, we’ll sing as long as we feel like it
No matter how small it is, it’s our single song in the world
I want to live with all my might
So much that I won’t regret it even if I die today
Release, passionate
This is a PRECIOUS Heart Beat of ours
We’ll sing, TREASURE Heart Beat

Why are you so green
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
And I try
But I never try too long
When you're gone
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Why don't you listen / hear what you're missin'

by 3 Doors down

Voices are everywhere, and they’re screaming at us: use me, buy me, believe me. We’ve got voices all over our culture: chat rooms, commercials, billboards, and bumper stickers, and they all want our immediate attention.
And then there is that voice from the past or that voice in your head that says you messed up too many times. You can’t do it. You can’t do it on your own. You’re not smart enough. You’re not strong enough. You’re not stable enough. You’re not thin enough. And then there’s the enemy. The father of lies that likes to get in there and say no way you’ll ever make anything of yourself.
I had this amazing conversation with my dad not too long ago. He’s a great man. I love him so much. And he told me about the first time that his father said something encouraging to him. My dad had just put a room onto his house. And my grandfather was a master carpenter and he was inspecting my dad’s work. And he got done and went to my dad, and said, “That’s a good job Harry.” And that was the first time my grandfather said something encouraging to my dad, and he was 38 years old.
Man, and without hearing that voice. Without hearing that, whether it’s the actually the physical audible voice of your father or mother, or the voice from God, you don’t have any identity. You have no way to function. I think Jesus knew that. I think that’s why, when He went through His ministry, touching people and healing people, and speaking to people. He never asked them to be anything that they weren’t. He tried to get them to understand who they were. That’s why he said, “You’re my daughter, you’re my son, you’re my brother, you’re my sheep.” He wanted us to identify with Him and understand that we’re His creation; that we're worth something.
Yeah, and that’s something amazing about Jesus. He could look down into somebody’s spirit and draw out who they really were. I mean, he looked at Simon and said, “You know what? You’re not Simon, You’re Peter. You’re a Rock.”
And how ‘bout that woman that came up to Him when He was going through that crowd, and she touched His garment, and he turned around and he said, “Daughter.” His first word: Daughter.
You know, Jesus got that honestly from His father. Three times when Jesus was under immense pressure in his ministry, God the father actually spoke. I mean, spoke audibly, It wasn’t inward. Jesus heard it, and the people around Jesus heard it. Like at His baptism, God the father said, “you are my son, I love you and I’m pleased with you.” And then at the transfiguration, the father spoke again and the disciples heard it. The father said, “You are my son. I have chosen you, and God just established Christ’s purpose on that mountain.” And then, before Christ died at Gethsemane in John 12, Jesus prayed: should I pray to be delivered from this hour? No. This is why I’ve come. Glorify your name father. And the father spoke and said, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” And I think that promise just drove Christ to the cross.
I think it did too. You may have never heard that voice. That voice that says you’re worth it. You’re smart enough. I believe in you. I love you. There may be a gaping hole in your spirit where that voice was supposed to speak into, and it’s just a vacuum. Listen, Jesus doesn’t require anything of you. You can’t work to get His approval. Remember, when he was affirmed by His father, when God looked down and said, “This is my son who I love.” Jesus hadn’t done a single miracle. All he asks of you is that you listen.

Now let me get up in it.
(Wake up! Wake up! Wake up a minute!)
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
(Wake up a minute!) 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
Ladies and gentleman, get ready here it come.
Talib Kweli and I’m bangin’ on your eardrum
(I wanna know!)

Get it now, get it fast, get it right
Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight
(I wanna know!) 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
Ladies and gentleman, get ready here it come.
Talib Kweli and I’m bangin’ on your eardrum

Now let me get up in it.
(Wake up! Wake up! Wake up a minute!)
You love the sounds coming out your speaker
I spit rounds like a nine millimeter
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
(Listen) 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
Ladies and gentleman, get ready here it come.
Talib Kweli and I’m bangin’ on your eardrum

And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
You should have listened
there is someone here inside
someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or burned
Into your own all cause you won't listen
(Chorus)
Listen I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, If you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own

by Lady GaGa

When things blink just right
Like they're blinking here tonight
From the corner of my eye
They came, to be
Tell your trouble to
Someone stuck here just like you
Sucking in the smoke
Like it's going out of style
And i'll listen,
To what you have to say
You said it any way to me
And you'll listen
Something special is at work
It's really not a chore to me
So put me in a bag
Or bury me in rags
The lady upstairs,
She made, me strong
Can't make it to the bar
Can't make it to the bath
Caught and confused
You give it up for this
Cause, i'll listen
To what you have to say
You said it anyway, though you're not, too sure
I'll listen
Because it means that much to you
You're everything i do, or see
They may not work it out

Listen!!!

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
This the year of the Blacksmith
Talib Kweli (Kweli!) K-1 (K-1!)
Let's go! {Listen!}
Yeah, yeah niggaz don't {Listen!}
Back in the days we all used to {Listen!}
Now shit is so wack, nobody {Listen!}
To that real hip-hop, yo {Listen!}
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {Listen!}
Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum
{Somethin I wanna tell you} Now let me get up in it
Wait, wait, wait, wait {Wait just a minute}...
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Start repentin cause the endin is near
But don't, panic you can't function if you livin in fear
Pay attention you gotta listen to hear {Wait just a minute}
Who the fuck you think you talkin to?
Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through
Kweli, the flow captain to fast or slow rappin
I'm soul crackin, you ain't heard your shit appear like closed captions
King of the bars and I'm goin hardcores
All my confidence comes from knowin God's laws
Bangin on the system, fightin my kind of war
Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar.
[Chorus: Talib Kweli]
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {Listen!}
Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum
{Somethin I wanna tell you} Now let me get up in it
It's for your spirits so, but y'all don't hear me though {Listen!}
Get up, get into it and get involved {Listen!}
There's a little somethin that I wanna spit for y'all
{Somethin I wanna tell you} Now let me get up in it
Wait, wait, wait, wait {Wait just a minute}
Get it now, get it fast, get it right
Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight
{Somethin I wanna tell you} But you don't really hear me though
I, spit it clearly so it's live at your stereo
To your heart while it's beatin in your chest
I'm speakin to execs in the seat behind the desk
To your spirit nuttin weaker than the flesh
So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin deeper in the depth
Real hip-hop is missin from the shelf
Yep, it's what you felt when you listen to yourself
Only a few is makin cuts that finish
So before you spend your hard-earned spinach {Wait just a minute}.
[Chorus]
Yeah, you love the sounds comin out your speaker
I spit rounds like a 9-millimeter
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 nigga? Wait right there
I got reservoir dogs, you be missin a right ear'
{Listen!} Get it clear, figure is 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.
[Chorus]
[Outro: Talib Kweli]
Yo, don't it sound so good to ya?
Uhh, it's the return of the greatest y'all
Talib Kweli, BKMC, Blacksmith is the movement
Blacksmith is the music, what you ridin for?
What you livin for, what you dyin for?
{Somethin I wanna tell you} Bangin on your eardrum, yeah
{Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute}
{Listen!}
{Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute}.

by Men at Work

Listen,
If you think that we're here for the money
You couldn't be right, you know-owowow
But the bread is not too good here
It could be so natural
I said all you got to do is listen
Listen,
If you don't hear what you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us all
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen
Listen,
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
I said all you got to do is listen

Listen

by Chris Isaak

Hey you're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
The bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed
Hey why can't you listen
Hey why can't you hear
Hey why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
Hey you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
Your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
You're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired
You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all your words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open up
And listen

by GREENDAY

Why are you so green
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
And I try
But I never try too long
When you're gone
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Why don't you listen / hear what you're missin'

Stayed sharper than a motherfucker
That nigga stayed on the corner
Stacy Adams never scuffed up (listen)
So that explains bout my daddy and me

Thinking why can't we live up in Beverly Hills (listen)
Wondered why all my homies in my hood were killed
Thinking why I got a 9 in my pocket for real? (listen)

Sneak and attack this dog eat dog shit here
A whole lot of folks got to eat here
Grandmamma had 24 kids and that's real (listen)
Cause I plan to build a boys club or something
Where fathers can take their sons on weekends
Cause that's what they need
I don't wanna see them in these streets
These sharks out here and they eating (listen)

Just to put the West Coast back on track

What the fuck do they know? [x8]
I know it's like this but that Don't it has to be
You think I'll sit and take this verbal blasfeme?
Well my friend you've pegged me dead wrong
Hide your face in print but I can't bite my tongue
You'd like to think you got me all figured out
Think you know me beyond the shadow of a doubt
Call me out though I said I'm not your enemy
I'll tell you again you haven't heard the last of me
You hear the word but you miss where I'm coming from
Whats said is said and we all know whats done is done
Sit back and judge what I feel, think, do and say
Thats quite a trick when you don't even know me
You don't know me so don't judge me
I never asked you for your opinion
Still you question my incentive
I've got the balls to say I've got nothing to say
Why don't you shut up and listen [x4]
Bastard
Shut the fuck up and listen to this
And say this one more time and when I'm done
You can qoute this fucking line "I don't give a fuck
About you or what you have to say" and thats truth
But I know when it's over you'll be sittin' satisfied
I got pissed so you got your fucking rise
We're getting close to your 14:59 how's it feel?
Don't explain you're out of time
I'm sure you'll get a shot to sound off, make all the
Noise you want it's just talk It doesn't matter now
Hell I forgot your name you'll come and go and
Come and went so whats to say
You don't know me so don't judge me
I never asked you for your opinion
Still you question my incentive
I've got the balls to say I've got nothing to say
Why don't you shut up and listen [x4]
Bastard
Well now it's sad it had to come to this
Just who the hell do you think you are,
Defacing me to make a name for you
Had better watch your fucking back my friend
I have heard enough from fools like you
With your bitter take on the world I would
Say it's you who has nothing worth a shit to say
Just set the record strait

Listen, to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroad
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dream will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or burned
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroad
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen, to the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But I will complete
Oohh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
My own
