Look
People ah dead (people ah dead), dead
That's what I've said
The blind must be led, the hungry must be fed
Ayo, yalow
I'm looking, through our whole despair, over the year
Ayo, nobody cares
Take a look in my house, would you live in there? Huh
Ayo, yalow
Look at my shoes can you see my toes?
Well, that's how the struggle goes
Nobody knows
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see?
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Give us a better way, things are really bad
The only friend I know, is this gun I have
Listen to my voice, this is not a threat
Now you see the nine, are you worried yet?
You've been talking 'bout, you want the war to cease
But when you show us hope, we will show you peace
Look into my mind, can you see the wealth?
Can you tell that I wanna help myself?
But if it happen that, I stick you for your ring
Don't be mad at me, it's a survival thing
Look into my heart, I can feel your fear
Take another look, can you hold my stare?
Why are you afraid of my hungry face?
Or is it this thing, bulging in my waist?
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see?
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Give us a better way, things are really bad
The only friend I know, is this gun I have
Listen to my voice, this is not a threat
But now you see the nine, are you worried yet?
You've been talking 'bout, you want the war to cease
But when you show us hope then we will show you peace
Look into my life, can you see my kids?
And let me ask you this, you know what hungry is?
Well, in this part of town, survival is my will
For you to stay alive, you've got to rob and kill
Look into my house, would you live in there?
Look me in the eyes and tell me that you care
Well, I've made up my mind, to end up in the morgue
Right now I'd rather die cah man ah live like dog
Look down on my shoes, can you see my toes?
The struggle that we live, nobody really knows
Stop and ask yourself, would you live like that?
And if you had to then, you wouldn't buss gun shot?
Look into the schools, tell me how you feel?
You want the kids to learn, without a proper meal?
Then what you have in place to keep dem out of wrong?
If they drop out of school, dem ah go buss dem gun
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see?
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Give us a better way, things are really bad
The only friend I know, is this gun I have
Listen to my voice, this is not a threat
But now you see the nine, are you worried yet?
