Tony Foster Jr. - You Don't Know How to Listen to Me Lyrics

You don’t know how to listen to me
It ain’t how I say it that you missin
You want me to say it different
But You don’t know how to listen to me
You gon get the message in a minute
If you’d ever let me finish
You don’t know how to listen to me
So busy tryna be right
So even in the meantime
Cuz you don’t really care about the mission
You just want somebody you can blame, then you flip it
You don't know how to listen to me
We been Raising fists up
Like you missed us
We been doin this for this long
Seeking justice, it’s been just us
I don’t even think you could even fathom
How it feels to process the way they be lookin at us
When they see us
Now it has a whole different meaning
When they need us
We’ll be on the field taking knees
We could bleed
In daylight with the live on
Streams boomin there’s blood in the gutter you ain’t notice
We been saying it for years
Enough grief to fill up an ocean with black tears
No fears
We could say it over and over
The fact is we need you to discover
You don’t know how to listen to me
It ain’t how I say it that you missin
You want me to say it different
But You don’t know how to listen to me
You gon get the message in a minute
If you’d ever let me finish
You don’t know how to listen to me
So busy tryna be right
So even in the meantime
Cuz you don’t really care about the mission
You just want somebody you can blame, then you flip it
You don't know how to listen to me
You don’t know how to listen to me
It ain’t how I say it that you missin
You want me to say it different
But You don’t know how to listen to me
You gon get the message in a minute
If you’d ever let me finish
You don’t know how to listen to me
So busy tryna be right
So even in the meantime
Cuz you don’t really care about the mission
You just want somebody you can blame, then you flip it
You don't know how to listen to me

You don’t know how to listen to me
It ain’t how I say it that you missin
You want me to say it different
But You don’t know how to listen to me
You gon get the message in a minute
If you’d ever let me finish
You don’t know how to listen to me
So busy tryna be right
So even in the meantime
Cuz you don’t really care about the mission
You just want somebody you can blame, then you flip it
You don't know how to listen to me
