Look At Me Now

(Album: The B. Coming - 2005)

[Bridge]
If you could look at me now

[Beanie Sigel]
[Verse 1]
My hair was knotty then
Nose snotty then
sweats, no pockets then
sweating, no problems then
facts? Off the potty then
News? Watchin karate then...
Muddas playin double dutch,
she was hop-scotching then
Me Girl watching then
Crooked little eye. (eye)
hump-back, tryna hump that
yes I (I)
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 clocking in
Popz
Been dropped out,
Neva really stopping in...
Momz
tryna lock me out
Cops
Tryna lock me in
Damn, Devilish one with Pellet-guns,
Grew from,
Sling-shoting them, (uh)
To sling-shooting 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

If you could look at me now
Let me smoke with you young'in

[Verse 2]
Yo I was pop-locking -Then
Card-board boxin -Then
Me
I was up the center
3D
locking in
Strongarm
Robbin then
Started car
Popping 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 walking then
8-toss, shook it off
Kept sparking 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 taking 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.

If you could look at me now

[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 flicking it
State-Prop stitching it.
I'm paper soldier yall,
Your boy getting 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,
look at me now.
