| I got something i want y'all to do | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around, take a look around and ask yourself：why? | |
| See all those people on the other side of town, livin large and postin high? | |
| Take a look around, see that bumrush to this liquor store? | |
| He sold out of thunderbird, but i got to say more | |
| Take a look around as the wealthy and rich | |
| Go to plush parties and do-si-do together, ain't that a bitch? | |
| Cause they're movin on while most of us sit back complainin | |
| Bout, "ain't nuff opportunities for our people", like it's always rainin | |
| But take a look around, cause i see plenty of sunshine in the sky | |
| Maybe next time, instead of complainin, you go out and get a piece of the pie | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around as more young people take their eyes off the prize | |
| See my man simon talkin bout he's gonna put a kit | |
| And a rag-top on that 560 s-e-c he buys? | |
| Take a look around at the music man on the corner playin his sax | |
| Fillin the air with jazz | |
| He's a one-man symphony, see that 2 dollars in change in his hat? | |
| Yo, that's all that brother has | |
| This is just a little letter about the situations we live in | |
| Take a look around and realize: to succeed we just can't give in | |
| Now take a look around | |
| Hey brother, take a look around | |
| Hey sister, take a look around | |
| Now money made is not necesserally money earned | |
| But those who earn money seem to have a lot less | |
| And not very often are those tables ever turned | |
| But then again, money's not a measure of success | |
| The power of 3, you see, is ever present | |
| Slide and ride this groove, to get the meanin | |
| Only a true king can call someone a peasant | |
| You hold a microphone, but for a throne i find you fiendin | |
| Pursuit of happiness and money are not the same | |
| There is some overlap, but they're still separate goals | |
| Because it's possible to have one without the other, a shame | |
| Some don't realize it, so they sell away their souls | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around | |
| As i walk through grand central i see so very many | |
| Brothers and sisters that are down on their luck | |
| Is there really pie, and they just aren't gettin any? | |
| Or is it cause they're lazy and they just don't give a fuck? | |
| Walkin through the park i see bam-bam playin celo | |
| 4-5-6, bam just lost 3 g's and a kilo | |
| Who says they only play for kicks? | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around | |
| I remember jackie, when jackie was a hottie | |
| Jeans used to fit her like the skin upon a grape | |
| Me and every other brother fiened for her body | |
| But she's smokin, so now look at her shape | |
| Now mrs green goes to church like every single sunday | |
| And she had three sons, ron, mike and dale | |
| Maybe if she'd done a little bit more than just pray | |
| Ron wouldn't be dead, and the other two, they wouldn't be in jail | |
| I remember mr. tee, he used to walk with a limp | |
| He had a wooden leg, y'know, cause he lost it in the war | |
| Maybe if this country had made some attempt | |
| To take care of their veterans, mr. tee, he wouldn'ta have to die poor | |
| Take a look around | |
| Hey - brothers, sisters | |
| Take a look around |
| I got something i want y' all to do | |
| Take a look around | |
| Take a look around, take a look around and ask yourself: why? | |
| See all those people on the other side of town, livin large and postin high? | |
| Take a look around, see that bumrush to this liquor store? | |
| He sold out of thunderbird, but i got to say more | |
| Take a look around as the wealthy and rich | |
| Go to plush parties and dosido together, ain' t that a bitch? | |
| Cause they' re movin on while most of us sit back complainin | |
| Bout, " ain' t nuff opportunities for our people", like it' s always rainin | |
| But take a look around, cause i see plenty of sunshine in the sky | |
