Tenement buildings and skyscrapers
Are polluted and often invaded
With troubled hearts and weakened minds
Living their lives and hoping to find
The golden key to prosperity
Never have a grip on reality
This makes day to day living hard
Trumpin' your fate  never peepin' the card
You just goin' through life without a trace
When the answers you seek
Are in front of your face
You're blind  you're blind

Tell 'em D
You're headed for the top or so you think
But that's not true for you  your life is on the brink
Of self-destruction  total corruption
You better get out or die from consumption
Sweat for a dollar to get nothin' back
'Cause at the end of the week you still get taxed
You'd even sell your soul to make your life correct
But with the rate of inflation you should eat your check
So you try to make a hustle to get ahead
But the only thing you manage is to stay in the red
Coppin' from John to sell to Rex
And your jones for success has put your life in check
You're blind  you're blind
And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind

So you think the facts means you can't win
So you devote your time to a life of sin
Hangin' out late is how you survive
Makin' deals  talkin' jive and tellin' lies
Pressure beatin' you down  like you're not handlin'
And all the while your mind is ramblin'
About bein' fly or even sly
And bein' held low in the public eye
You decide these things
But you don't know why you're standin' on a corner
Cold playin' the post
'Cause another sucker said you were chillin' the most
You're blind  you're blind

Yo  you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind  you're blind

You run 'round talkin' 'bout what you hate
Livin' your life just to perpetrate
You think your style is chill because you're always cold
With your platform shoes and your fake gold
So you think you're bad  sheer dynamite
But if you only knew
The crew called you freak's delight
Wearin' the tightest jeans and shortest skirt
You think you're cold chillin'  lookin' like a jerk
No matter what you do  come out second rate
Thinkin' you're on time but you're already late
You're blind  you're blind
And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind and you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind

The moral to the story may not be clear
And the only way to catch it is to lend a ear
Stop frontin' so hard
Why don't you peep your card
And your goals in life may not be far
Because these words I say
Are meant for you to hear
So if you bust these facts you will persevere
You're blind  you're blind

And you can't see
You needs to wear some glasses
Like D M C

You're blind

And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind  you're blind

And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind  you're blind

And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C
You're blind  you're blind

And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
Like D M C

You're blind  you're blind

And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses
