Brother Ali - Listen Up Lyrics

One for treble
Two for bass
Shock the party and do it right

Ha! Would you look at him?
Yeah, f*ck him!
He walk like he just did something great
And can't hold his leg muscles straight
I puts a little something in my step
So these Listen up, get loud and clear
Gon' shock and amaze with the sound you hear
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right
Listen up, get loud and clear
Got to wiggle your ass, get wild in here
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right

Here's a tip-toe around me on eggshells
Then got a few props and your head swell and then well...
You swear to God you wouldn't boogalu
Now look at you when we cry to throw the book at you
I soak into my blood on Ant beat
Your blood on your sneak from a pulp to the beat, right
Should be preserving your breath
Bring murder and death when I swerve in your set
Ain't heard of us yet but we bang bang boogie
Steer clear and let us do our damn thing lookie
Hear I wanna thank y'all for rookie of the year
But I ain't finished f*ckin' with your ear
God damn it now!

Listen up, get loud and clear
Gon' shock and amaze with the sound you hear
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right
Listen up, get loud and clear
Got to wiggle your ass, get wild in here
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right

Somebody come on!
Anybody come on!
Everybody scream!
Somebody say, oh yeah!
That's right, y'all!

Hol' up
I don't f*ck with no one unless I love 'em
Ant, Slug's a deacon, BK our brothers
And I ain't got nothing if I ain't got pride
Either love me or don't waste my time
I'll break my spine
Y'all buy tickets and raise my guarantee
And that's another hungry mouth I can feed
Believe you me, sequel to the Shadows and the Champ EP
These muh'f*ckers all leanin' tryna see through me
Watch out, tell me what the f*ck are you really seeing
You ain't shit, you get your jewelry taken
Right along with your shoes and your laces
That beautiful bracelet
'Cause your company control the way you viewin' the matrix
See I came in the game without a name
Just some displaced anguish and a gift for the language
I give a rat's ass what category I'm placed in
At the end of the day, we all piss in the same wind
Same play pen, just a little different arrangement
And I ain't been artistically caged in
I bring to the table gifted innovation
Plus some morbid more than their imagination
I never know when to say when I'm hated
I debate with a stranger 'til I blatantly break them
I give 'em a facelift with the blade of the bass kick
It's a ways to the payment now barely don't say shit

Listen up, get loud and clear
Gon' shock and amaze with the sound you hear
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right
Listen up, get loud and clear
Got to wiggle your ass, get wild in here
I said listen up, and get right tonight
We gonna shock the party and do it right

Listen up, listen up
Listen up, listen up
(Shock the party and) somebody come on!
(Shock the party and) anybody come on!
(Shock the party and do it right)
It's going on downtown
Let's stop!
