Take a Look

B-Time... Guess Who's Back
Esko, Esko, Barje Baby... Ugh
Check it, Yo
When I view situations around me all I can do Is shake my head
Don't wanna feel this way, I'd rather Be laughing Instead
How can one smile when mad things are going wrong
My brothers and sisters, they always singing sad songs
The part that bugs me out, is y'all can't even fathom why
But I guess I wouldn't either if it wasn't for my third eye
I'd be like old girl, Sharice around my way
She lugging five kids and got another one on the way
The sad part is Sharice is barely twenty five
Steadily falling for them ballers who be faking to ride high
Peepin' em out, trynna see if they half real
Using sex for her gimmick, popping babies like pills
I was sympathetic cause I thought they was dissing her
Just popping that yang until the middle was missing but
That was just a bit before I peeped her game y'all
Sharice was kinda ill and she was part to blame

Jocking for doe to increase her cash flow
And getting pissed of if a nigga say hoe
She wanted respect like any mother with Kids
But she will never fess up to the life she lives
Ugh, Yo

Take a look in the mirror
(Take a look, take a look)
Tell me who do you see
(Ugh, Yeah)
You be honest with yourself
Is that you

Check it, Now Brothers be slipping too
With all this hypocrisy, We be tearing these sisters down with mindless democracy
So when Faced with Paternity, We run from eternity
Leaving Maternity she must face alone
And we be sending mixed messages through our fortune and fame
And got these video queens, They flashing skin to be seen
And their ain't no doubt about it yo It's every girl's dream
To be deemed esteemed as your Nubian Queen
But they way they go about it can't deny it's all wrong
But do we brothers give them choices, Do y'all make 'em feel strong
The next time you get the chance to make a video
Show a sister with some class, Not the image of a hoe
Come on man

Take a look in the mirror
(Take a look, take a look)
Tell me who do you see
(Who do ya see, Ugh)
You be honest with yourself
Is it you or is it me yeah
(Gotta be real about it, ya know what I'm saying)
Take a look in the mirror
(Take a look, take a look)
Tell me who do you see
You be honest with yourself
Is that you

Check it, This bar is dedicated to my Ebony Queens
And to Ms. Ivory the same applies to you and your King
The biggest problem men are having with y'all ladies today
Is y'all's superficial lust and your reluctance to pay
(Now if you don't fit this here criterion)
Don't pitch a fit and get all furious
But if you think I'm talking 'bout them shoes you in
(Take your pride, suck it in, and let this knowledge begin)
You see cause all I wanna do is help you persevere
Help you understand why men don't adhere
Like why you getting plaid and your relationships fail
Why you don't have his ring, but he got your tail
You ain't even gone believe what I heard this broad say
She bragging to her friends how she made this dude pay
Gave her cash, some clothes, paid a few of her bills
She said, all I had to give him was a few cheap thrills
But girl it was worth it, she said I got my bills paid
Yo bills gone resurface, Yo virginity ain't
In just a matter of years, you might be ready to wed
But if you flip it like that, you could be dead instead

(Ugh What)
Take a look in the mirror
(Take a look, take a look)
Tell me who do you see
(Who do ya see)
You be honest with yourself
(Keep it real with yourself)
Is it you or is it me yeah

Take a look in the mirror
(Just Take a look, take a look)
Tell me who do you see
You be honest with yourself
Is that you

Mirror, mirror on my wall
Is it really me that's about to fall
I don't wanna be the reason for
Bad influence growing within my community
Not me, no... oh, oh, oh, naw, no, yeah

Take a look in the mirror, tell me who do you see
You be honest with yourself
Is that You
