Look Around — текст песни (Dead Prez)

[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]
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
