Dead Prez - Look Around Lyrics
[woman singing][stic.man] Beatnuts, dead prez[woman] What I wanna sayyy[stic.man andor m1]Everytime I look around, I seeSo much drama goin downEverytime I look around, I seeSo much fakeness goin down[stic.man]Why I'ma- be stingy when I could share?Why I'ma- be hateful if I could care?Why would I hate my own?Or forsake my own?Why would I- ***** around and get a jake on my chrome?I wouldn't- have to stick you if we all could eatIt wouldn't be no need for beefDyin over streets we don't even own anywayYou could get bucked off anydayWe behind enemy linesY'all still writin Hennessy rhymesWhile I'm tryna find a good price for a nineFeel like my life on the lineThat's why a nigga be hype all the timeReady for the revolution at the drop a'a dime[m1]I got a duty to have security for my niggasMy duty to serve the beautiful black sistasA duty to stand wit' anybody that's wit' usAnd fully criticize all bullshittasThere should be awards presented- to niggas who fight backLike Panther jackets, or sistas who light gatsI'm a full-blooded warrior, ready for changeRecognize any soldier that's doin the sameBecause I love who I am, and that means everything to meMy life ain't worth a damn unless I'm dealin with realityWhen I look myself in the eyes, it's just meAnd I don't have to tell nobody no lies, I feel freeAnd I would rather deal with the truth and falsehoodThan bein fake with my people and claimin 'it's all good'You can't run away from ya self, so that's uselessIf your word is bond, then you don't have to make excusesEverytime I look around, I see-acap
