(Statik Selektah)
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening? (Are you—, are you—, are you—)
Yeah, me (Are you listening?)
We want people to listen
Can't lie to your inner self (Are you listening?)
Your inner self sometimes be your audience (Are you—, are you—)
Kick it off, Pos
Ayo
Bittersweet blessings, condolences and congrats
In the same sentence while my life learns the lesson
I cry quiet so the knot in my chest is hard to untie but thankfully the heart keeps pressin'
My brother left on his return ticket so the pieces of our heart
I guess so we're left to pick it
His round-trip journey returned him to the source
So most would think we been derailed off the course but
No matter how sad, the fire in our eyes can't be doused out
But tears thirty plus years will back us
Our souls a little tattered which means it's been tested
Yet not at all infested in them sins that attract us
My imperfect picture put the filter in its place
So I look the same on your phone and face to face
Remember the birthdate
'88 stepped between the scenes
Sorta like a hyphen to run off your hype men
We learn through the problems we sift
That you watch for those wearing problems wrapped as gifts
And the gift of life gives you a timeline
Like a tightrope, you gotta walk it as you find (The balance)
Who's more fit to survive the split of fame on his name
While heading back from whence he came from
Those you wronged on your way up
Will make sure you know on your way down we're words over the same drum
But still, that points out our dialect is different so we ain't of the same feel
And like an alcoholic trapped in sobriety I grab that self-help my self-conscious confides in me
And I'll never feel submerged in greed
If someone gives me my flowers
When I'd rather the seeds (Once again)
I'll never feel submerged in greed
If someone gives me flowers
When I'd rather the seeds
Let's play it for the round trip (The round trip)
We wanna sow it for the round trip (For the round trip)
Let's grow it on the round trip (For the round trip)
Learn to know it on the round trip (Round trip)
Round Trip (Round Trip)
Are you listening? (Are you listening?)
(Round Trip, Round Trip)
Round Trip
The lyrics ROUND TRIP (FOR DAVE) of STATIK SELEKTAH is also present in the album Round trip (2023)

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
