Dead Prez - Look Around lyrics
[woman singing]
 [stic.man] Beatnuts, dead prez
 [woman] What I wanna sayyy
 [stic.man and/or m1]
 Everytime I look around, I see
 So much drama goin down
 Everytime I look around, I see
 So much fakeness goin down
 [stic.man]
 Why I'ma- be stingy when I could share?
 Why I'ma- be hateful if I could care?
 Why would I hate my own?
 Or forsake my own?
 Why would I- fuck around and get a jake on 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 anyday
 We behind enemy lines
 Y'all still writin Hennessy rhymes
 While I'm tryna find 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 a'a dime
 [m1]Dead Prez - Look Around - http://motolyrics.com/dead-prez/look-around-lyrics.html
 I got a duty to have security for my niggas
 My duty to serve the beautiful black sistas
 A duty to stand wit' anybody that's wit' us
And fully criticize all bullshittas
 There should be awards presented- to niggas who fight back
 Like Panther jackets, or sistas who light 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 ain't worth a damn unless I'm dealin with reality
 When I look myself in the eyes, it's just me
 And I don't have to tell nobody no lies, I feel free
 And I would rather deal with the truth and falsehood
 Than bein fake with my people and claimin 'it's all good'
 You can't run away from ya self, so that's useless
 If your word is bond, then you don't have to make excuses
 Everytime I look around, I see
 So much drama goin down
 --Hold up! [intro to 'Old School Survival']
 [crowd] Wait a minute!
 Let's take it back to the old school
 [man talking] Yo, 'memba back in the day?
 When sh- everything was all smooth 'n calm
 And shit was like- [other man]snap? on, nigga
 Yo man, I'm doin it, I'm doin it man
 I'm sayin like-'memba back in like in '70
 Fuckin '79, Nah, nah '87! Tha's my favorite *****shit, god******
