Lyrics
We gotta listen up (yeah)
We gotta be ready for the call (MCskill ThaPreacha)
Everybody wants attention (a yo Justina, word up?)
We wanna be heard
No one wants to be left aside (it's what we talking about)
Every child has something special (It's Stormatique on the beat)
I knew a man, his name was Mr. William
He had two sons and a daughter and they were triplets
He really wanted his sons to be doctors
And the daughter, he wanted her to be a lawyer
Typical Nigerian man, he was a dreamer
Always thinking 'bout society first and how to please them
A selfish father, he never listened to the kids
Never thought about their dreams and what they could achieve
The first son, he had talent to be an actor
The second was a football player, he was a master
The daughter was a painter, she painted pictures with ease
She was way ahead of her time, she was the perfect thing, uh
Then came the time the ball player had opportunity to
Sign for a football club in Chicago and so
Mr. William never allowed that happen
He said his son had to be a doctor, that's final
He killed a dream, this is the part that I begin
To tell the parents, you! Always have a rethink
The kids are humans, gotta respect their feelings
Gotta be their angels right, not their demons
The next day, boy was found in his room
Lying helpless on the floor, overdosed on a drug
Mr. William lost a son, never forgave himself
Now he depressed, his whole life has never been the same
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause everybody wants attention
Wants to be heard, want to feel special
'Cause everybody needs attention
Wants to be heard, feel something special
So I say
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, uh, word
Mrs Anna was 32 and she was pretty cool
Everybody loved her attitude
She had a daughter named Jane, she was 11
Jane's daddy passed away when she was 7
She got married again by the time Jane was 9
Jane had a new daddy, everything was fine
Sad story, he was a pedophile
Started abusing Jane and threatened her not to tell her moms
But Jane couldn't keep that, she had to tell
Mrs Anna never believed her own daughter, what the hell?
Trust me, it's a true story
Be responsible, pay attention and listen up to your kids stories
They get bullied at school, they get raped
They got bruises and scars and took it as their fate
One day, Anna came back from work early
Met her hubby doing her daughter behind the tele'
She was screaming for help, struggling for her life
Anna couldn't move like corpse, she was all white
She grabbed the mug on the table and hit her hubby on the head
Just 20 seconds of bleeding, he was dead
Anna grabbed Jane, she wasn't breathing too well
She was tryna say something, but shortly, she was dead
Mrs Anna lost her daughter to her nonchalance
She had to take her own life just to strike a balance
Everybody needs attention, everybody needs attention
Everybody needs attention
Oh, you gotta listen to the kids, listen to the kids
Listen to the future
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause everybody wants attention
Wants to be heard, want to feel special
'Cause everybody needs attention
Wants to be heard, feel something special
So I say
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Listen up, listen up
Listen to the kids, listen to kids, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause we need a change, it's a beautiful future going on
So listen to the kids, listen to the kids
'Cause they are the future, they are the future
They got something special
