Take a Look Around

Lyrics

[Intro] See the world done changed in so many ways [Verse 1: Fatin] Times is hard on the boulevard Folks is bruised,battered and they scarred Cause them bills piling sky high And there ain't no answers to the question why Welfare don't fare well In my hood as if you can't tell Oh what a shame that man can't make bail So he sit and rot inside the jail cell Baby mama got you stressed Working twice as hard just to make less It's a dangerous cycle but we still blessed And I'm still determined to do my very best They trying to blame Mr.President But it ain't the fault of the government When times was good how we overspent And it came back to bite us in the ass But don't be fooled by the facade cause its all a mere mirage but like Charles the brothers in charge [Hook: Kindred] Take A Look Around Said the world done changed in so many ways From Philly to LA and even Chi-Town But the gangsters,hustlers,fathers Brothers holding it down we gone work it somehow [Verse 2: Bilal] The World is a ghetto Children walking the streets alone Cause they got nobody home to raise em And your moving out cause the cost of living is sky high And you know we working on it but its no word from USA to Africa The whole world want change And they looking to the government to blame Cause when you look into your pocket there's a shame and your looking up There's a God up there somewhere That sees what's happening here He sits high and looks low And this gives me hope But we got nowhere to go It feels like nobody knows how hard it is But take a look around [Hook] [Verse 3: BJ The Chicago Kid] This goes out to the brothers on the corner thinking they can do what they wanna (yeah) You know the world ain't what it seems just because you got a gun in the back of your jeans Every-time you get locked up penitentiary stocks go up While your family sitting tore up you up state but them baby's getting older but the crazy part about it all somebody getting paid every-time the bars hit the wall I pray that one day we wake up before our times is up because it would really be lost cause if we lose everything at all Black suit European cut with the the white shirt with the black skinny tie dressing like Malcolm and Martin you can't be fly with an empty mind take a look around [Hook: repeat and adlib out]
