T.O.N.E-z
A woman's love is worth a number non existent
And a mans shot for love is hidden behind ballistics
Hearts break shattering your whole infrastructure
Envy's prominent jealousy reveals the tear
Shows who you really are beneath that mask you wear
Phony hand shakes and hugs and plastic love
Screaming family treated me like a bad son

Ya hear me?

Listen
Ya hear me?
Happiness is something I never knew or felt
Searching for it too long almost lost myself
I stumble on it by accident or GOD's will
So I took my crumbled heart and started to build
Feeling good like the whiff of a scent of weed
Playing the game of love high score no penalties
This lucky lady got nothing but the best of me
Her true nature is slithering like a centipede

Hahaha
Plant a seed and water and you can grow a forest
Plant a seed of hate and love gets aborted
Good person now perceived as an evil demon
Crucified spit on with no rhyme or reason
But you're the one evil thoughts and evil ways
But GOD got my back real love will always find its way
Back to me where the truth will always prosper

The song "Listen" by DJ Rob-E featuring T.O.N.E-z delves into the themes of love, heartbreak, and betrayal. The opening lines suggest that there is a disparity in the worth placed on a woman's love versus a man's love. The metaphor of a man's "shot" for love being hidden behind ballistics suggests that men are more guarded in their expression of love and may resort to violence to protect it. The next lines speak about heartbreak that can shatter one's entire being and the betrayal that often follows. The word "fake" emphasizes the insincerity of some homies and friends who may betray you in search of their own gain.
The second verse speaks about happiness being elusive to the artist, and how he almost lost himself searching for it. He then stumbled upon it, either by accident or by divine intervention, and decided to rebuild his crumbled heart. The line "Her true nature is slithering like a centipede" is an interesting simile that suggests that the person referred to is deceitful and cunning. The lyric "Plant a seed of hate and love gets aborted" is a powerful statement that emphasizes the importance of choosing love over hate.
