Just Listen (feat. KJ-52, Kelly & the Manifolds)

I am not wise I just listen, pay attention
Open your eyes you'd be surprised where it gets you
It won't get you famous if that's what the aim is
Wisdom is infamous for nobody listening
If all you care about is popularity turn around cause
All you care about is selfish gain
The world will never revolve around your space
You're not the sun
You don't walk around and bring light to everyone
You steal it.
Manipulator
Quit talking, quiet the activity slow down
You're lying to yourself it's tiring you wore out
You're bringing down the people around you whoa now
Setting fire to bridges relationship burned down

Slow down
And listen
Wisdom speaks low, love
Let it in

Before your mouth runs out
Before you open up and prove to everyone how
You don't think before you jump
You don't prepare before you run
You think it's funny and fun
That hot takes run the game
But small sparks set off flames
And if you burn it all down and it lands on you
What did you gain?

See, I am not wise I just listen, pay attention
Wisdom cries out in the streets
Common sense will help you sleep
Until you open your eyes and see that it's so rare and unbelievably scarce
Everybody just hates and looks out for their own take
Nobody wants to dialogue and shake hands so hands make fists
Punch people and keyboards late night warriors
Go ahead verbally murdering
Anybody anyone who doesn't agree
We got that blood on our hands
Don't waste your time or your life
just trying to prove that you're right
Pride kills wisdom ...
Slow down and just listen

Slow down
And listen
Wisdom speaks low, love
Let it in
Let it in
Let it in

Yo, ah,
So won't you listen to what the Spirit say
Cause you can hold for a clearer day
Plus I know He'll just clear away
This ain't here to stay
Wipe every tear away
And you can drive all the fear away
Why? He's mighty to save
And He cleared the grave
And I know He's right here today
No matter what you face He's here
Right here to say
Slow down, it's moving fast
I know you deal with things from your past
I know this thing ain't here to last
He's right here, right there when you go to crash
What you have is all that you need
He promised now to never leave
And even if that's kinda hard to see take time to breathe right there you can hear Him speak

Slow down
And listen
Wisdom speaks low, love
Let it in

Let it in, let it in, let it in
