It's funny how we listen.
I've always been one 2 give it undivided attention but
I know some who only view that time as intermissions
or background noise between the lives that they've been living.
My favorite thing 2 ask is "who u listen 2?"
& 4 the most part,
it tends 2 serve as a glance at what music is 2 u.
Something 2 throw on 2 do the dishes 2,
study 2 or maybe just a vibe 4 u 2 drive or get driven 2?
I've been driven 2 extremes by it.
Tryna make it my life so I would say my connection is spiritual.
However, I can't expect the same if it's some thinks it's lame
2 see a song as anything other than just 2 entertain.
U probably ran into the saying.
"If I want religion I'll go 2 church. I don't go 2 artists 2 get me saved."
I remember when that kid Lonzo Ball
made his comments about Nas
& had the world tryna slay him.
Well, maybe that's an understatement but
I was definitely one 2 shrug & say how much can u blame him?
What's going on in that kid's brain
just aint comparable 2 ur typical purist when they hear Memory Lane.
See, Migos & Future may be the exact thing
that he needs 2 turn up b4 & after a game
& I can see how Undying Love just might not get it done.
It's simple, every listener is a different 1.
I guess we can't all be Lebron in our story son.
Half athlete, half Hip Hop historian.
Still I see cats stuck in DeLoreans
refusing 2 let the doors up 2 see what the future has in store 4 us
& the same with new school coupe drop riders
who only concerned with being the new top shottas
with no 1 else in their view.
Rear, or otherwise.
Clearing a divide where each peers from the other side.
It's funny how we listen.
I've always been one 2 give it undivided attention
but I learned a long time ago 2 honor 1's opinion.
Even when they're dead ass wrong...
