Текст (слова) песни: The Beatnuts f Cheryl `Pepsi` Riley, Dea - Look Around

 
[Riley singing] 
1999 
Beatnuts, dead prez 
 
CHORUS: 
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 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 
My 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 
How we comin at the world on some Malcolm X shit 
So turn it up, so we can drop these gems quick 
If you on some bullshit, then nigga hit the exit 
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 
Slugs burn, so naturally thugs learn to stay vested 
You need to learn a Psycho Les-son 
And treat others the same way you wanna be respected, because... 
 
CHORUS 
 
Live together 
Feed each other (feed each other) 
Die together (die together) 
Love each other (love each other) 
Eat together (eat together) 
Show each other (show each other) 
Fight together (fight together) 
Know each other (know each other) 
(*2X*) 
 
CHORUS 
 
[Scratching] 
Bring the power back to the streets, where the people live 
Bring the power back to the streets, where the people live 
 
Brother, brother, there`s too many of you dying 
War is not the answer 
Too many mothers crying, oh this is a revolution, yeah yeah yeah 
 
[Scratching & Singing until the end]
