Lyrics
Listen UpL
Lookin' back on when I was Nine -
I never got that new bike. I started to whine.
Mama said, "Sit down, boy! You got a few to
things to learn.
You need to be a little less furious, show a
little more understandin'
Let me take you back, I'll show you what it's
like to be poor."
Lookin' back on when I was Fourteen -
I saw a man on a sidewalk it didn't mean
anything
Mama said, "What's wrong, boy?! You don't
seem to care.
You need to be a little more curious, show
little more compassion
And I know what I speak, I've been there
before."
Chorus
She said, "Listen up, little boy, listen up.
Oh, little boy listen up.
You're a little bit older know, and I think it's
time that you grew up.
I'm gonna show you how. Gonna show you
why.
Gonna tell you everything about you and I.
It's time you learned about life, so listen up,
little boy listen up."
Lookin' back on when I was Eighteen -
Got a little bit homesick, and my wallet was
lean.
Mama said, "That's life, boy, when you're out
on you're own.
You need to be a little more serious. Be a
little more independant.
And I know what I speak, I've been there
before."
(Chorus)
Lookin' down on my little nephew -
Lyin' there so peaceful, everything so new.
I said, "Mama leave us. I got a few things to
share.
I've grown a little bit more generous, got little
bit more wisdom,
and I want you to know, all I've learned so
far...
And I said, "Listen up, little boy, listen up.
Oh, little boy listen up.
You're a little bit older know, and I think it's
time I bring you up.
I'm gonna show you how. Gonna show you
why.
Gonna tell you everything about you and I.
There's a lot to learn about life, so listen up,
little boy listen up."
