You’re Life is really nice
Considered a success
You rollin' in that paper
So you thinkin' that you blessed
Ya Gotta a nice crib
Your ride is really hot
You in love with ya girl
Can't believe all thatcha got
The epitome or picture
Of tha Dream Americana
Got tha time and money
To do anything ya wanna
Was told you needed somethin'
Just to make it all completed,
“Add Jesus to ya resume
So you don't end up heated”
Got up in that church
Heard a prayer that you repeated
Waswas like "I got it locked"
Thought cha got jus whatcha needed
But you didn't really mean it
There's something thatcha missin
If ya still cherish sin
There's no need for Him to listen
He ain't some little trinket
He ain't some nice award
He ain't listenin to those
Who refuse to make Him Lord
If you love anything
More than you love the Son
Jesus ain't cha Lord
You broke commandment one!
(hook)
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't listen when ya cry
Why not? Cuz you still
Love that sin up in ya life!
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't hear ya when ya call Him
Why not? Cuz you clingin
To that nature that is fallin!
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
Does he listen? He ain’t gonna listen
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
If you cherish sin there’s no need for Him to listen.
(end hook)
Please don't get it twisted
He hearin' every word
He know every thought
And every action on tha earth
But he ain't fooled by lettas
All constructed in a sentence
He lookin atcha heart
& he ain't yet to see repentance
Ya holdin on to sin
Cuz you thinkin you control it
But when this life is over
Gonna wonder who jus stole it
Ya listened to a preacher
that said it's about YOU
But if you read tha Bible, man
You'd know that that ain't true
But you gotcha pride
And You say it's hard to swallow
Ya betta chunk it down
If it's Him you wanna follow
Tha road ain't always easy
Like some of them would say it
And if it really is
Then show me where tha Bible say it
He said that He'd be with us
We'd neva be forsaken
But cha can't serve 2 masters
Cuz one you will be hatin'
Tha other you'll be lovin'
But how is that determined
If ya don't let go of sin
That's tha master that you servin'!
(hook)
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't listen when ya cry
Why not? Cuz you still
Love that sin up in ya life!
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't hear ya when ya call Him
Why not? Cuz you clingin
To that nature that is fallin!
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
Does he listen? He ain’t gonna listen
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
If you cherish sin there’s no need for Him to listen.

Ya say he oughtta listen
You think you so important
Like God ain't got that right
To hear ya speak & keep ignorin
Cuz whatcha gotta say
Ought ta capture His attention
But you full of that envy
And that selfish ambition
Them acts of ya nature
Yeah they so apparent
but tha kingdom of God
Is whatcha won't inherit
If ya keep holdin' on
To that sin thatcha cherish
He suffered & he died
So thatcha wouldn't perish
He didn’t take a beat down
So thatcha could be richer
He didn't take that cross
To paint a pretty picture
He ain't just a God
You can throw up in tha mixture
He's tha eternal One
Tha everlastin' fixture
Ya wanna come to Him?
Gotta do it on His terms
He ain't gonna change
So you can do it on yours
If he didn't need to die
On tha cross - why'd he do it?
Can't love him if ya still
Love tha sin that nailed Him to it.
(hook)
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't listen when ya cry
Why not? Cuz you still
Love that sin up in ya life!
Does he listen? No He don't
He don't hear ya when ya call Him
Why not? Cuz you clingin
To that nature that is fallin!
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
Does he listen? He ain’t gonna listen
Does he listen? No man he don’t listen
If you cherish sin there’s no need for Him to listen.
