Take A Look (At Yourself)
Guru

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 dope 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?
