| [00:00.18] | I got something i want y'all to do |
| [00:03.54] | Take a look around |
| [00:07.41] | Take a look around, take a look around and ask yourself：why? |
| [00:14.10] | See all those people on the other side of town, livin large and postin high? |
| [00:19.68] | Take a look around, see that bumrush to this liquor store? |
| [00:23.67] | He sold out of thunderbird, but i got to say more |
| [00:28.68] | Take a look around as the wealthy and rich |
| [00:31.95] | Go to plush parties and do-si-do together, ain't that a *****? |
| [00:35.61] | Cause they're movin on while most of us sit back complainin |
| [00:41.70] | Bout, "ain't nuff opportunities for our people", like it's always rainin |
| [00:47.01] | But take a look around, cause i see plenty of sun*****ne in the sky |
| [00:52.11] | Maybe next time, instead of complainin, you go out and get a piece of the pie |
| [00:57.81] | Take a look around |
| [01:00.27] | Take a look around |
| [01:03.66] | Take a look around as more young people take their eyes off the prize |
| [01:07.92] | See my man simon talkin bout he's gonna put a kit |
| [01:10.32] | And a rag-top on that 560 s-e-c he buys? |
| [01:14.76] | Take a look around at the music man on the corner playin his sax |
| [01:18.63] | Fillin the air with jazz |
| [01:21.00] | He's a one-man symphony, see that 2 dollars in change in his hat? |
| [01:25.41] | Yo, that's all that brother has |
| [01:28.89] | This is just a little letter about the situations we live in |
| [01:34.62] | Take a look around and realize: to succeed we just can't give in |
| [01:39.66] | Now take a look around |
| [01:44.13] | Hey brother, take a look around |
| [01:46.86] | Hey sister, take a look around |
| [01:51.48] | Now money made is not necesserally money earned |
| [01:55.14] | But those who earn money seem to have a lot less |
| [01:59.07] | And not very often are those tables ever turned |
| [02:02.19] | But then again, money's not a measure of success |
| [02:06.48] | The power of 3, you see, is ever present |
| [02:10.20] | Slide and ride this groove, to get the meanin |
| [02:12.84] | Only a true king can call someone a peasant |
| [02:17.16] | You hold a microphone, but for a throne i find you fiendin |
| [02:22.44] | Pursuit of happiness and money are not the same |
| [02:26.04] | There is some overlap, but they're still separate goals |
| [02:29.61] | Because it's possible to have one without the other, a shame |
| [02:33.15] | Some don't realize it, so they sell away their souls |
| [02:37.89] | Take a look around |
| [02:40.50] | Take a look around |
| [02:43.53] | As i walk through grand central i see so very many |
| [02:46.68] | Brothers and sisters that are down on their luck |
| [02:50.07] | Is there really pie, and they just aren't gettin any? |
| [02:53.85] | Or is it cause they're lazy and they just don't give a ****? |
| [02:55.80] | Walkin through the park i see bam-bam playin celo |
| [03:01.38] | 4-5-6, bam just lost 3 g's and a kilo |
| [03:10.44] | Who says they only play for kicks? |
| [03:14.97] | Take a look around |
| [03:17.73] | Take a look around |
| [03:21.12] | I remember jackie, when jackie was a hottie |
| [03:24.30] | Jeans used to fit her like the skin upon a grape |
| [03:28.08] | Me and every other brother fiened for her body |
| [03:33.39] | But she's smokin, so now look at her shape |
| [03:37.62] | Now mrs green goes to church like every single sunday |
| [03:42.84] | And she had three sons, ron, mike and dale |
| [03:47.43] | Maybe if she'd done a little bit more than just pray |
| [03:51.42] | Ron wouldn't be dead, and the other two, they wouldn't be in jail |
| [03:58.02] | I remember mr. tee, he used to walk with a limp |
| [04:03.15] | He had a wooden leg, y'know, cause he lost it in the war |
| [04:08.43] | Maybe if this country had made some attempt |
| [04:10.80] | To take care of their veterans, mr. tee, he wouldn'ta have to die poor |
| [04:18.48] | Take a look around |
| [04:20.91] | Hey - brothers, sisters |
| [04:24.84] | Take a look around |
| [00:00.18] | I got something i want y' all to do |
