Take A Look (At Yourself)

Take A Look (At Yourself) - Guru/Roy Ayers

A lot of people don＇t realize that

The reason why I＇m talkin＇ is I＇m tired of most

And I＇m tired of suckers always complain about your situation

＇Cause you frontin＇ you dig ＇

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Came up short man yes just one time too many

Don＇t try to get too friendly I shouldn＇t give you any

R E S P E C T you know respect

You＇re messed up son tryin＇ to play mack money

You went for self for the fast wealth but you know what＇s funny

Now you＇re fallin＇ fallin＇ cryin＇ out for reasons

Should I sympathize or let my lyrics give lesions

And cuts ＇cause I can straighten you up

I ain＇t on no crusade it＇s just that your game＇s played

But are you afraid to make moves and get really paid

You might fade ＇cause punk you live for today

And most of your chances already blew away

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Listen forget the dissin＇ I＇m admittin＇

I＇ve done some wrong also wrote some d**e songs

My man Roy

He brought the vibes along

Now I＇m in there

In here gettin＇ funky with the track

I used to drive a Cadillac

It took me there and back

But seriously black how you livin＇

From what I can see word to mother you＇re slippin＇

If I were you I＇d stop this fantasy world stuff

＇Cause the real world＇s tough you ain＇t equipped enough

Step back analyze

And use your own eyes to see

I can＇t be you you can＇t be me

For your problems yo you can＇t blame no one else

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

I ain＇t runnin＇ away never kid yo are you

I been through the BS I got scars a few

But I can＇t dwell in the hell that I＇ve passed through

I＇ma blast through and do what I gotta do

Amazing suckers think this rap stuff won＇t phase them

I wait then and cross the ceilings ＇til they cave in

Or give in ＇cause the power keeps me driven

I＇ll destroy the weak noise with much poise and no toys

Or tricks so stay off my tip

And get a grip on your own and get a life of your own

And stop waitin＇ for things to come to you

That＇s for chumps I know what you oughta do

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Yeah I wanna give a big big shout out to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

And the Group Home to my man Premier

Crazy shoutout to all the boroughs of New York

Know what I＇m sayin＇ ＇Cause my man Roy Ayers is in full effect

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig

Take a look at yourself take a look at yourself

Take one big look take a look at yourself you dig
