* featured artists on this album were jazz musicians
"A lot of people don't realize that..
the reason why I'm talkin is.. I'm tired of
most"
[Guru]
And I'm tired of suckers always complain about your situation
cause you frontin .. "You dig?"
Chorus: repeat 2X
Take a look
at yourself take a look at yourself
Take one big look take a look at yourself .. "You
dig?"
[Guru]
Came up short man (that's right)
Yes just one time too
many (too many)
Don't try to get too friendly (nah)
I shouldn't give you any (none)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, you know respect (yeah)
You're messed up son, tryin to play mack money
(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 (oww)
Should I sympathize, or let my lyrics
give lesions,
and cuts? Cause I can straighten you up
I ain't on no crusade (nope)
it's just that your game's played (yup)
But are you afraid, to make moves, and get
really paid?
You might fade (goodbye) cause punk you live for today
And most of your
chances, already blew away
Chorus
[Guru]
Listen (check it
son)
Forget the dissin, I'm admittin
I've done some wrong, also wrote some dope
songs (word)
My man Roy, he brought the vibes along
Now I'm there, in here gettin
funky with the track
I used to drive a Cadillac, it took me there and back (right)
But seriously black, how you livin? (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 (quit it)
Cause the
real world's tough, you ain't equipped enough
Step back, analyze, and use your own eyes to
see
(take a look) I can't be you, you can't be me
For your problems, yo you can't
blame no one else
Chorus
[Guru]
I ain't runnin away (never
kid) yo are you?
I been through the BS, I got scars a few (many)
But I can't dwell
in the hell that I've passed through (nope)
I'ma blast through (yup) and do what I gotta do
(have to)
Amazing, suckers think this rap stuff won't phase them
I wait then, and
cross the ceilings til they cave in (boom)
or give in, cause the power keeps me driven
(that's right)
I'll de-stroy the weak noise with much poise and no toys
or tricks
(nope) 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 (that's right) I know what you
oughta do
Chorus
[Guru]
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
KnowhatI'msayin?
Cause my man Roy
Ayers is in full effect
* Roy plays for a bit *
Chorus
* Roy closes out the song
