LOOK AROUND

Verse 1 Ike Brown

COMIN’ LIVE AND DIRECT FROM THE LAND OF DREAMS
LOW HOPE BIG DOPE, MANUFACTURED FIENDS
HAD PLANS BUT THE MAN HAD A DIFFERENT SCHEME
IN HIS HEAD FOR MY TEAM HAIL THE NEW REGIME
WHILE YOU’RE CAUGHT UP IN THE SYSTEM MAD AS HELL
IN THE CRIB NO MAIL, NUTHIN’ TO SELL
MAKES ME WANNA’ GET GONE LIKE DAVE CHAPPELL
WHY’S IT SEEM LIKE EVERY ROAD LEADS TO JAIL
WHERE I’M FROM, CATS THINK IT’S COOL TO BE SLUM
LET THE HOUNDS HAVE THE BREAD WHILE WE FIGHT FOR CRUMBS
ALL THE OLD SCHOOL PLAYAS’ ARE NEW SCHOOL BUMS
FACE THE MUSIC NOW THEY’RE BEAT LIKE BONGO DRUMS
YOUNG CHAPS THINK A TRAP IS THE PLACE TO BE
HOMIES KNOCKED EVERYDAY WE TO BLIND TO SEE
EVERYBODY’S LIKE “FAM, IT WON’T HAPPEN TO ME”
EITHER SIDE OF THE JAIL CELL WE AIN’T FREE
SO LOOK AROUND!!! IF YA LOST GET FOUND
THIS AIN’T TIME TO DUMB DOWN NOW
IF YOU WANNA PLAY BETTER LEARN THE RULES
YEAH IT’S COLD BUT IT’S FAIR I AIN’T PLAYIN TO LOSE

Verse 2 Pro

I thought America was supposed to be the land of the free
I see people outside looking just like me
Wit no food to eat, no place to go,
Yeah they might have cured but we won’t know
They got me singing my country tis of thee
Where your either broke or live in misery
It’s people in other countries worser you know
But I never been there and don’t plan to go
I know people doin things that I can’t belive
I’m the one in the crowd that wont’ be deceived
Why sign up to die for my country and vain
Cause the leader of the free world’s clinically insane
I just want a little piece of the American dream
But can’t sleep cause I’m caught in tha’ American scheme
The national anthem ends with the home of the brave
But they didn’t tell you it’s also the home of the slave
So look around, it ain’t all about them pounds
And how girls you lock down now
It was fun comin’ up cause that’s all we knew
They got eye’s everywhere so they looking at you so
Look around!

Chorus

Verse 3: Lee Green

I don’t walk I don’t run, I don’t talk wit my gun
It ain’t dark to gods son
Let me shed a little bit of light, only right
In the middle of the night I’m hype to fight
Catch me at the crossroads wit my sword and my shield
Lookin for the biggest ni**g in the battlefield
Better duck when I buck give a fuck ni**a what tear it up
You’ll get struck by the lady kill
Now they wanna keep me under surveillance they wanna meddle in y conversation when I’m on my cell phone
Gps in my automobile so you can know the deal everytime I go and ain’t even home
Look around they got eye’s in the sky
North America is more than just some apple pie
They want to enslaves us and do damage to you and I
And black people panicing but we manage to get by
Take a look at my skin take a look at my hair, take a look at my hood do you understand
Have you ever even thought about the situations that we got to go through on the daily can you comprehend
Come come follow me to the land of the poor and the broke and the black and the brown
Let me show condelezza rice little white lies from the white house try to keep me down
