Joyner Lucas - Listen To My Demo lyrics

[Parte 1]
I'm standing outside in the rain
Passing out demo tapes tryna get a name
I was like eleven back then with the braids
It was 1999, I was tryna catch a wave
I heard JAY-Z was in town
'Bout to hit the Summer Jam stage and I gotta see his face
If I give him my demo, then I wonder what he'd say
Maybe he'll sign me and I'll finally get a break
So now he on stage
And everybody's singing all the words to his shit and I'm amazed
I'm holding up my demo with a sign saying "Please"
I just need a couple minutes of your time, Mr. JAY
Could you? But that aingt gon' work
f*ck it though, I know there gotta be another way
I snuck past security and made it backstage
Demo in my hand hoping he gon' press play when he seen me
But when the show is all over, I was tryna walk fast
Catch him when he leaves hoping we can cross paths
But he aingt seen me and I was feeling all bad, uh
And then security approached me, he was wearing all black
I passed him my CD with my house number on it
Saying, "If you listen to it, could you please call back?"

[Coro]
Please, please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Pl-pl-pl-please listen to my demo
Listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Please

It's 2001, I'm thirteen now, but I'm better than I was
Rapping in my class when I should be doing work
But I'm thinking 'bout this beat I was hearing on the bus
I heard Dre and Snoop Dogg was in town
Up In Smoke tour, Eminem coming out
You should have seen the way my eyes popped out
You done thought the heavens opened up and God popped out, uh
I wish that I could vibe with him
If I gave him my demo, maybe I could ride with him
Maybe Em would listen if I got some time with him
Maybe Dre is looking for a kid that can sign with him
I don't know
All I know is that I gotta go, hopefully it all pans out
Tryna get tickets, so I get the plan down
If I get front row then I probably stand out
Then my pops came home with two VIP passes in clutch
And at that very moment I was happy as f*ck
So I started getting dressed so fast in a rush
Demo in my hand, had a rich man glow
He walked in my room and said, "Kids can't go"
Damn and so he brought his girl with him
And I can't believe I let another big chance go, damn

[Coro]
Please, please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Pl-pl-pl-please listen to my—, uh
Please listen to my demo
Can you listen to my demo?
Please listen to my demo
Pl-pl-pl-please, uh

[Parte 3]
A lot of years went by
I'm twenty-five now and the tears went dry
2015 and I still got a dream
But reality is looking kinda real this time
I'm in the booth with a grunge on my face
Tryna make a demo with no funds in the bank
I don't wanna quit 'fore I make it out the bricks
And my girl told me that we got a son on the way
What the f*ck? Damn
I gotta push to go, but I aingt got a bit of time
Cause it aingt 'bout me no more, I gotta just provide
If I don't make it when he born, then I gotta get a job
I hit the ground running with a plan
Make a mixtape and build something with the fans
If I don't do it now, then I'll never get a chance
Got a certain way of thinking, some will never understand
So now I'm sitting on the block
Vibing out bumping instrumentals in the drop
Writing every day like my pen don't wanna stop
And my baby mom packing my demos in the box
I was pulling up to schools in the rental
CD in my hand, put my arm out the window
Nobody took it and I didn't get the memo
And all I kept saying was, "Please listen to my demo"

[Coro]
Please, please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo
Pl-pl-pl-please listen to my demo
Listen to my demo
Please listen to my demo, yeah
Please listen to my demo
Please

[Parte 4]
It's 2025, had some change
I think I finally made it to a household name
Moved my whole family out the hood with a change
Told my mama quit her job, she won't work another day
I got Platinum plaques now
Couple hit singles and a back to back now
Couple big cribs I'ma have to pass down
When I put my demos out, I don't have to ask now if you can listen
I'm saying what I want
All your favorite rappers keep saying I'm the one
And if I died now, then I'm grateful what I've done
Cause a lot of niggas never really made it where I'm from
I'm on tour and they waiting in the front
Camping outside while they baking in the sun
Pull up to your city and they waving to the bus
Got my songs on the speaker and they singing every one
And so I hit the stage
This the same book, just a different page
Crowd going crazy, but I know this one kid staring at me with a glow like he was in a daze
I'm looking at him in the crowd, I can see his face
And he looking back at me and I wonder what he thinking
It remind me of how I used to look at JAY
When all I wanted was someone to give my shit a play
And when the show is all over, they was tryna get me back in the cut
Security was walking all faster than us
Tryna get me out the building, tryna get me back to the bus
Standing by the bus was the kid that I seen from the crowd
Nigga, how coincidental
Handing me his CD with his number on the pillow
Looked at me and said, "Please listen to my demo"
