Lyrics

[Operator:] This is the MCI operator I have a collect call from..DREAMER Who is an inmate in a California State prison To accept charges press *5 now {beep} Your call is being connected Thank you for using MCI [Lil' Rob:] 'Sup ese What's up ese... What you know me, man? Simon, I'm your best homey And you don't even know me (Lil Rob - Verse 1:) This vato came up and said "Ey, what's up homes" I said "You know me?" He said "Simon, I'm your best homie You were born in September of 1975 You're already 20 I'm the reason why you're still alive I watched everything you do I've seen everything you've done I kept you out of jail because I told you when to run You packed a gun at the age of 13" This vato knows everything about me but this guy I've never seen So I said "What you need?" And he said "Follow me" I'm going crazy that's exactly what it's gotta be He said "Let's fly", so we took to the sky He said "Stop, look and listen, pay attention Now if you have a question then ask" Oh, by the way where you takin me? He said "Stop, look and listen and you will see" (Chorus:) Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen....(la la la la listen to me) (Lil Rob - Verse 2:) Do you remember this night? Oh, yeah homie quite clear 02-27-94 was the year, gunshots is all I hear As we hit up the place We gave those vatos a taste Show 'em not to fuck around But I got shot in the face And it was like, damn What am I supposed to do Now I can't die 'Cause that means they got the best of me, fool He said "Now anyone else would've shook Come with me let's take a closer look" He took me down to the carrucha I was riding in Who would've thought that a bullet, I'd be biting it You shoulda heard all the shit that I was sayin' I wasn't playing as we were spraying I wanted to see some levas laying Dead in streets of my varrio They wanted to take my life and that ain't right So we had a gunfight Huero and Dreamer backing me up And we had the 12-Gauge Mausberg shells stacking them up And it was like, crazy Shoulda been a western flick You got two kinds of vatos who don't give a shit They came to my neighborhood and got what they got In other words I'm not the only one who got shot, leva (Fuckin leva...) (Chorus:) Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen, hear what I'm saying Listen....(la la la la listen to me) (Lil Rob - Verse 3:) I can't believe that this is happening to me God, do you want my life? Well then take me But if not I need some oxygen They threw me on a fuckin bed and now I'm off again In the life flight helicopter soaring through the sky Knowing I could die but still I won't cry 'Cause it's like why shed a tear, man? When everyday I'm wishing that I wasn't here, man You catch my drift? All you vatos need to take note I got a bullet in my throat and I'm trying not to choke 'Cause if I do I just might go into a panic And then it just might be the end Not for this Hispanic Fuck no, I can't let 'em get the best of me 'Cause if I die there ain't no way I'm gonna Rest in Peace Knowing that those vatos are standing tall Laughing as the Lil' Rob, having to take a little fall But I ain't one to go out like a bitch And I ain't that little vato, that vato to go snitch It's the varrio law, one I won't break So stop, look and listen and you'll find I ain't no fake (Chorus:) Listen hear what I'm saying Listen hear what I'm saying Listen hear what I'm saying Listen....(la la la la listen to me) {Oldie} The things I am saying are true (The truth) The things I am saying are true (I said it true man) The things I am saying are true (La verdad) The things I am saying are true (Simón)
