Don't listen to em

Intro (soft ad-libs)

Aye, ayy, yeah-yeah, don’t listen… nah

Chorus (melodic, repeatable)

Don’t listen to ’em, they ain’t feel what I felt,

Talkin’ ’bout my name while they sittin’ on they help,

Used to sleep on the floor, now my bed got belts,

Mama prayin’ nightly — gotta stack and protect.

Don’t listen to ’em, smoke clear but the view foggy,

Loyalty the currency, fake love costin’ me costly,

We came from the bottom, them days was rocky,

Don’t listen to ’em — keep my circle, keep it locked, G.

Verse 1 (gritty, reflective)

Seen ’em smile in my face, they whisper when I pass,

Counted all my losses, told me I would never last.

I had nights with no lights, only stars and a flask,

Promised to my day ones, we gon’ rise from the ash.

Ops post on the gram, they act like they runnin’ blocks,

But in the dark they fold, can’t pay for the cost.

I got scars from the winter, cold nights, heavy frost,

Still I wake up grindin’, can’t let the past be lost.

They judge when I slip, celebrate when I fall,

But the ones that was real — them the ones I call.

I move with the silence, let success be the voice,

If you ridin’ with me, then you ridin’ by choice.

Pre-Chorus (building)

They gon’ talk, let ’em talk — it don’t change my road,

Pray for the lost, cash for the growth, keep an open code.

Chorus (melodic)

Don’t listen to ’em, they ain’t feel what I felt,

Talkin’ ’bout my name while they sittin’ on they help,

Used to sleep on the floor, now my bed got belts,

Mama prayin’ nightly — gotta stack and protect.

Don’t listen to ’em, smoke clear but the view foggy,

Loyalty the currency, fake love costin’ me costly,

We came from the bottom, them days was rocky,

Don’t listen to ’em — keep my circle, keep it locked, G

Verse 2 (harder edge, street stories)

They wanna see me panic, wanna watch me fold,

Told ’em bout the nights I cried, but they only saw the gold.

Snakes in the cut, smiles cold like they sold,

Real ones in the whip, we ridin’ through the cold.

Baby need a new start, I put the city on my back,

No more cold dinners, no more last-minute snacks.

I rep where I from, every block got my name,

Ran with ghosts, ate pain, turned it into the flame.

If they speak on my kid, we settlin’ different ways,

Lessons taught in the streets but I pray for better days.

Flashin’ lights, fast life, but the truth never change,

Keep my soul for the fam, keep my mind on the aim.

Bridge (melodic, pleading)

I seen friends turn to strangers, smiles turn to cases,

I learned to trust few faces, keep God in my praises.

When the nights get lonely, I call on the past,

Remember who held me down when the world moved fast.

Chorus (melodic)

Don’t listen to ’em, they ain’t feel what I felt,

Porque music

See you when I see you
