In the song "Listen 2 Da Music" by AI, the artist speaks about the inherent human desire to express oneself through art, despite the difficulties that come with it. She asks what she should say or what she should bet on to get her message across, but recognizes that it's not as simple as that. She has a lot she wants to communicate, but no one seems to listen. However, someone does, and because of them, she continues to create music, even if it's not being immediately received.
The second verse speaks about the power of music to speak louder than words. Even without lyrics, the sound can be beautiful and impactful. The artist acknowledges that regardless of who someone is, music provides an opportunity for anyone to express themselves and be heard. It can also bring comfort and solace in both happy and sad times. Through music, people can convey emotions that are otherwise hidden or difficult to articulate.
Overall, the song is a call to appreciate music as a medium to convey and connect with people's emotions, and to celebrate the power it holds to unite people. Music can bring joy or sadness, but every time it has the ability to unite people and stand strong in any given situation.
