I been Listenin to records Ive collected Records Ive selected And inspected Dissected on examination tables Til my technique was perfected Records that have served and protected A confidence In my own perception of the world Once the wax is reflected I found myself connected To the music Like the lyrics were injected So now when times are hectic I close my eyes and listen To the words Like advice from somebody I respected When I was found dejected That saying about art and life Is really just the half When you recognize That music is math Like a true song Is really just a product On the answer sheet Lifes craft is a scrap When you show your work I would listen with a smirk From irony to Irief From Bob Marley smokin stones At the building refused My girl left me Roberta Flack said Never you mind Love may lose But at least you tried The wisdom hit me in the eyes And I almost cried Stevie Wonder saw my tears And put the joy inside Sade showed me a love That was stronger than pride Minnie Rippleton Invited me to come inside Marvin Gaye taught me Lessons of anger and time Thats just the tip of the ice berg Floatin in my mind Not to mention All the jazz and instrumentals Thats essential And the Hip-Hop elders That taught me to rhyme Thats why Im still listenin
