Look Around - Feat Dead Prez And Cheryl Pepsi Riley Lyrics

[riley singing]

 1999

 Beatnuts, dead prez

 

 Chorus:

 Everytime i look around, i see so much drama goin down

 Everytime i look around, i see sp much fakeness goin down

 

 [stic.man]

 Why i'ma, be stingy when i can share

 Why i'ma, be hateful if i could care

 Why would i hate my own, and forsake my home

 Why would i fuck around and get a jake my chrome

 I wouldn't have to stick you if we all could eat

 It wouldn't be no need for beef, dyin over streets

 We don't even own anyway, you could get bucked off any day

 We behind enemy lines, y'all still writin henessy rhymes

 While i'm tryin to get a good price for a nine

 Feel like my life on the line

 That's why a nigga be hype all the time

 Ready for the revolution at the drop of a dime

 

 [m1]

 I got a duty to have security for my niggas

 A duty to serve the beautiful black sisters

 A duty tom stand wit anybody that's wit us

 And fully criticize all bullshitters

 There should be awards presented, to niggas who fight back

 Like panther jackets, or sisters who like gats

 I'm a full blooded warrior, ready for change

 Recognize any soldier that's doin the same

 Because i love who i am, and that means everything to me

 My life aint worth a damn unless i'm dealin with reality

 When i look myself in the eyes it's just me

 And i aint gotta tell nobody no lies i feel free

 And i would rather deal with the truth than falsehood

 Than bein fake with my people and claimin it's all good

 You can't run away from yourself so that's useless

 If your word is bond then you don't have to make excuses

 

 Chorus

 

 [juju]

 Yo as i sit and contemplate about the fate of my kids

 If i die is the state gon snatch up my kids?

 City life, no choice but to live by the knife

 Put food on the table at whatever the price

 My beautiful wife, all the time cookin precise

 When there aint no meat, she bless me with the eggs and the rice

 Never think twice, i love you for the rest of my life

 That's why i taught you how to shoot when situations get trife

 Save the children from the evil that we smell in the air

 Used to bein happy, now the feelin is rare

 I'ma soldier in the struggle just tryin to prepare

 Cuz when the revolution comes it aint gon be fair

 

 [psycho les]

 Yo it's the beatnuts, dead prez, we connect like tetris

 And we comin at the world on some high connections

 So turn it up, so we can drop these gems quick

 If you on some bullshit, then nigga get the ?eggs split?

 There's enough cash, grass, and ass here for you and me

 You wanna be greedy, sayin fuck the community

 Watch out cuz life's gonna change very soon you see

 I really don't believe we could ever have unity

 This shit is serious we all tryin to have a milli stash

 But love life cuz that's all a nigga really has

 Love your fam, cuz that's all you really have

 And handle your biz and stop bein a silly ass

 Ayo it's gettin, gettin, it's gettin, gettin it's gettin kinda hectic

 Starch burns, so naturally thugs learn to stay vested

 You need to learn what psycho les said

 So treat others the same way if you wanna be respected

 

 Chorus
