Don't Listen to the Beat
Here it come y'all, so brace yourself,
A lot of temptation, so get ready
The beat is dope, and dope is the beat, so uh...
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat...
Base kickin' out your speaker to your eardrum
The beat is kind of funky, so I know you wanna hear some
It's liver than Saturday Night, and jumpin' like a party
The beat is really beatin', 'cause it's kickin' like karate, huh!
I know you like it, I can tell, because you're grinnin'
Got men and women feelin' better than when they're sinnin'
Back and forth, you nod your head and snap your fingers
I like the 808, because it (boom!), and then it lingers
And then you got the (snare!), I know it'll make you move your fanny
I know the beat is rockin', don't mistake it for your granny
I knew when the producer made it, few would want to "Boo!"
For you, it's overdue to find out who I call my crew
I'm down with Curt and Waynebo and the Dunamis Youth
New and Mighty in Christ, and we're makin' no excuse
I know the beat is hot, and you will love it 'til death
But I'ma tell you why you should not, but I'ma catch my breath first...
The beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat...
Don't listen to the beat, because I say so
What if I told you if you listen to it, it is fatal
I'll tell you what would happen, you would say I should be quiet
'Cause you are hungry for the beat, and you don't wanna diet
You should really listen to the message I am tellin'
The beat is like the dope, also the dope is what you're sellin'
I know that this analogy will hit you like a hammer
The reason that you're slangin' is because of all the glamour
You grow up in the ghetto, livin' lower than a human
And then you hear that hustlin' will get your pockets boomin'
You do not need experience, or even education
And yet, you still make more money than any occupation
Of course you wanna do it, like a baby want a bottle
You're making so much money, they compare you to the Lotto
I'm tellin' you, don't do it, when I know what you'll be missin'
Just like I gave the phattest beat, and told you not to listen...
Make it hard!...
The beat is Dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat...
Don't listen to it...
Naw, uh... don't listen to it
Naw... don't listen to it
Uh... uh uh
I know it's hard, but don't listen to it...
Uh... don't listen to the beat!
Right now, I think I gotta tell you why you shouldn't hear it
'Cause if you listen to the beat, you'll never hear the lyric
The message is important, and that's why I gotta tell it
The beat is like the dope, and I don't think that you should sell it
Is that too much to ask? If it ain't, then I'm gone ask it
Why do it? When you know that it will put you in a casket?
Concentratin' on the beat that's comin' out your speakers
Will make you miss the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus
The beat is like the dope, because they're both designed to catch us
But don't get caught up, and die, or go to jail, or miss the message
I know it's difficult to sacrifice the life of money
But stop it, 'cause we're dyin' off like it ain't even funny
Ignore the beat, if that's the only thing that you remember
I know it's tight and it's hittin', and sweeter than November
But that's to prove a point to you, that you should not be missin'
And if you didn't miss it, then I guess you didn't listen...
To the beat...
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat...
Now you can listen to it
Let it ride, uh
Uh, come on, oh yeah, now you can listen to it
That's right... dance!... uh!
Waynebo!... Ha ha! Yeah!
Come on... Yeah, go 'head and listen to it
Ha ha! Go 'head and listen to it
A lot of temptation, so get ready
The beat is dope, and dope is the beat, so uh...
So don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
But don't listen to the beat
Is dope is the beat is dope is the beat is dope is the beat
So don't listen to the beat
