You Betta Listen
by Remington Head

You betta listen
I'm only gone tell you one time
You betta listen
Listen up
Take heed of what I'm saying
You betta listen
So listen up
It only takes one time to not listen
Then Ya spine against the wall and the plot thickens
Ya script is cut
My mama painted when she was young
Even got pictures hung
So, when she seen me drawing
Then furthered along to poems
She understood where it came from but not the True Artist that was born
Way past an entertainer that perform in fact maybe Ron Artest
A true warrior that wants Peace for the whole world
How can you argue with that or want to harm
When I'm just trying to further the facts that I fell upon
Not having to become Fernando Vargas in the slums
Dodging every punch fighting for every crumb
In a war that’s still not won and hard to bargain with Ya tongue
Where Ya jargon is bothersome to more than some
So, keep the small talk and try to gather larger sums
Without the heavy load the small Bucs add up like Warrick Dunn
So shut the fuck up and go get Ya some
I'm only gone tell you one time
You betta listen
Listen up
Take heed of what I'm saying
You betta listen
So, listen up
It only takes one time to not listen
Then Ya spine against the wall and the plot thickens
Ya script is cut
Before there was PS2 there was Super
Mario defeating Koopa
The Age of VR Troopers
American Home Video Bloopers
COPS producing Super Troopers
Where Tots watching Shottas becoming future Shooters
With a different plot ensuing
With Glocks ready to do Ya
Using moves that they see people on TV doing
And if they let that shit start pooting
Look like a scene out of a movie
Groups of Youth shock and maneuvering away
From the scene of manure
I'm on a plot in the rural
Part of the city
Chilling with Ricky
Yes, my daddy
Trying to take in heed what he is saying
He thinks I'm playing
But I'm taking in the message
Scrape off the fat
And listening to what he would call Real Rap
I'm only gone tell you one time
You betta listen
Listen up
Take heed of what I'm saying
You betta listen
So listen up
It only takes one time to not listen
Then ya spine against the wall and the plot thickens
Ya script is cut
Before I could have even been considered a rookie
Told by onlookers
It's not how you pick your nose but where you put Ya boogers
Out on the front porch doing a few push ups
Not knowing anytime in the future,
Poo Putts will be trying to push up on Ya
And back door Ya over nookie
Where fighters become killas or useless statistics
Not too many Lycan the Vampire Life that you choose to live with
But can't be biting another life when it’s a perspective to every life of a Lucian
Part of the Underworld filled with Homeless Hungry children
Criminals on the Concrete, Street Generals, deep down in the dungeon dealing minerals
All while I sleep, creep, chilling waiting on a come up
All it takes is one bad choice, clumped up with some dumb luck
To plant a lifelong fuck up
So, I’m giving my ear out to listen up
To be at least 1- 0, one up
On bad lucks and dumb fucks
That think you aint out here listening
I'm only gone tell you one time
You betta listen
Listen up
Take heed of what I'm saying
You betta listen
So listen up
It only takes one time to not listen
Then Ya spine against the wall and the plot thickens
Ya script is cut
