A lot of people don ＇ t realize that
The reason why I ＇ m talkin ＇ is I ＇ m tired of most
And I ＇ m tired of suckers always complain about your situation
＇ Cause you frontin ＇ you dig ＇
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Came up short man yes just one time too many
Don ＇ t try to get too friendly I shouldn ＇ t give you any
R E S P E C T you know respect
You ＇ re messed up son tryin ＇ to play mack money
You went for self for the fast wealth but you know what ＇ s funny
Now you ＇ re fallin ＇ fallin ＇ cryin ＇ out for reasons
Should I sympathize or let my lyrics give lesions
And cuts ＇ cause I can straighten you up
I ain ＇ t on no crusade it ＇ s just that your game ＇ s played
But are you afraid to make moves and get really paid
You might fade ＇ cause punk you live for today
And most of your chances already blew away
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Listen forget the dissin ＇ I ＇ m admittin ＇
I ＇ ve done some wrong also wrote some d**e songs
My man Roy
He brought the vibes along
Now I ＇ m in there
In here gettin ＇ funky with the track
I used to drive a Cadillac
It took me there and back
But seriously black how you livin ＇
From what I can see word to mother you ＇ re slippin ＇
If I were you I ＇ d stop this fantasy world stuff
＇ Cause the real world ＇ s tough you ain ＇ t equipped enough
Step back analyze
And use your own eyes to see
I can ＇ t be you you can ＇ t be me
For your problems yo you can ＇ t blame no one else
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
I ain ＇ t runnin ＇ away never kid yo are you
I been through the BS I got scars a few
But I can ＇ t dwell in the hell that I ＇ ve passed through
I ＇ ma blast through and do what I gotta do
Amazing suckers think this rap stuff won ＇ t phase them
I wait then and cross the ceilings ＇ til they cave in
Or give in ＇ cause the power keeps me driven
I ＇ ll destroy the weak noise with much poise and no toys
Or tricks so stay off my tip
And get a grip on your own and get a life of your own
And stop waitin ＇ for things to come to you
That ＇ s for chumps I know what you oughta do
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Yeah I wanna give a big big shout out to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
And the Group Home to my man Premier
Crazy shoutout to all the boroughs of New York
Know what I ＇ m sayin ＇ ＇ Cause my man Roy Ayers is in full effect
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
