Luyện nghe bài hát Take a Look Around

I got something I want to do
Take a around

Take a around, take a look around and ask yourself: why?
See all those people on the other of town, livin large and postin high?
Take a around, see that bumrush to this liquor store?
He out of thunderbird, but I got to say more
a look around as the wealthy and rich
Go to parties and do-si-do together, ain't that a bitch?
they're movin on while most of us sit back complainin
Bout, "ain't nuff opportunities for our people", like always rainin
But take a look around, I see plenty of sunshine in the sky
Maybe next time, instead of complainin, you go out and get a of the pie

a look around
Take a around

Take a look around as more young people take their eyes off the
See my man talkin bout he's gonna put a kit
And a rag-top on 560 s-e-c he buys?
a look around at the music man on the corner playin his sax
Fillin the air with
a one-man symphony, see that 2 dollars in change in his hat?
Yo, all that brother has
This is just a little about the situations we live in
a look around and realize: to succeed we just can't give in

Now take a around
Hey brother, a look around
Hey sister, take a look

Now money is not necesserally money earned
But those who earn money seem to have a lot
And not very often are tables ever turned
But then again, not a measure of success
The of 3, you see, is ever present
Slide and this groove, to get the meanin
Only a true can call someone a peasant
You a microphone, but for a throne I find you fiendin
of happiness and money are not the same
There is some overlap, but they're still goals
it's possible to have one without the other, a shame
Some don't realize it, so sell away their souls

Take a around
a look around

As I walk through grand central I see so very
Brothers and sisters that are down on luck
Is really pie, and they just aren't gettin any?
Or is it cause they're lazy and they don't give a fuck?
through the park I see bam-bam playin celo
4-5-6, bam just 3 g's and a kilo
Who says only play for kicks?

a look around
Take a look

I remember jackie, when was a hottie
used to fit her like the skin upon a grape
Me and every other brother for her body
But she's smokin, so now at her shape
Now mrs green goes to church every single sunday
And she had sons, ron, mike and dale
Maybe if she'd done a little bit more than just
Ron wouldn't be dead, and the other two, they wouldn't be in
I remember mr. tee, he used to walk with a
He had a wooden leg, y'know, he lost it in the war
Maybe if this country had made attempt
To care of their veterans, mr. tee, he wouldn'ta have to die poor

Take a look
Hey - brothers,
Take a around
