If you could look at me now


[Beanie Sigel]
[Verse 1]
My hair was knotty then

Nose- snotty then
sweats, no pockets 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
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 clockin' in
Popz-
Been dropped out,

Neva really stoppin' in...
Momz-
tryna lock me out

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
^!$$% left for a night

To keep money Right all day
Break a night all day

[Verse 2]
Yo I was pop-lockin' -Then

Card-board boxin -Then

I was up the center

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 ^!$$% 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.

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-%#@! with rap if you want,
I pull the bull-%#@! 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 %#@!
Sheed, check your boy out man
Your boy got buisnesses man
I done came up on my own ^!$$%

Clothing line... cartoons, movies, name it ^!$$%
Bull%#@! with rap if you want,
...I'm a big-boy-toy driver ^!$$%

Holla at me ^!$$%.
