If you could look at me now



[Beanie Sigel]

[Verse 1]

My hair was knotty then

Nose- snotty then

sweatin', no problems then

facts? Off the potty then

News? Watchin karate then...

Muddas playin double dutch,

she was hop-scotchin' then

Me- Girl watchin' then

Crooked little eye. (eye)

hump-back, tryna hump that

Couldn't play because I'm poo

They thought I was mockin them

Gramz-

Said I was devilish

Been knew I was rotten then

School-

Been dropped out,

neva really clockin' in

Popz-

Been dropped out,

Neva really stoppin' in...

Momz-

Cops-

Tryna lock me in

Damn, Devilish one with Pellet-guns,

Grew from,

Sling-shotin' them, (uh)

To sling-shootin' them

Dice all day,

Kept hook shot-

Nice all day

Right hook fight

Nice all day

Nigga left for a night

To keep money Right all day

Break a night all day

[Verse 2]

Yo I was pop-lockin' -Then

Strong-arm-

Robbin then

Started car-

Poppin' in

ME-

Skinny toots, Telly boots, Marley Park and El

Got in trouble with Passion

Was from parkin them-

Other Jacks, diffeferent sets

Started sparkin him-

I had the four-teen gauge,

My nigga Larken then

How it made front page,

-He caught a spark from them

He got gauged in his leg,

Still was walkin' then

8-toss, shook it off

Kept sparkin' them

All heads aint help,

-We had more heart then them

We squashed that war,

Got some wall,

-Stayed apart from them

Down in Iraq, they give me dap,

I'm takin' pounds from clowns,

You shake my hand like a grown man (grown man)

Ya aint see it like Tony and old man,

Mob-style ferreal,

This is my life-style ferreal.

[Verse 3]



...Now its big buisnesses,

You see them big bentley-skids

You see them Bee's on those shiny-ass

Rims of his,

You can't find him in the woods,

With his kids with his

Mob cookin breakfast with no S.W.A.T.

A good day this is.

You could bull-shit with rap if you want,

I pull the bull-shit to the back

And put rap in front.

Now I'm State-Prop flickin' it

State-Prop stitchin' it.

I'm paper soldier yall,

Your boy gettin' rich



I see a kids hair -knotty now..

They nose -snotty now

So what I do,

I try to turn they frown around

I make 'em smile a day

If only for a -while a day

I give them dollar-day

That's my ghetto -holliday

I must say for myself

I'm feelin proud today,

My life is shaped

Like I run about a mile a day

I dedicate this to the one's that

counted me out

And looked at me down

Just look at me now.



[speaking]

I know yall see me

Look at me now man

I'm killin this shit

Sheed, check your boy out man

Your boy got buisnesses man

I done came up on my own nigga

I'm a ceo nigga

Clothing line... cartoons, movies, name it nigga

Bullshit with rap if you want,

...I'm a big-boy-toy driver nigga

with unlaced airforce 1's with no license-

Holla at me nigga.

Yall can't tell me shit,
