Look At Me Now - Beanie Sigel

My head was knotty then

Nose- snotty then

Sweats, no pockets then

Sweatin'?, no problems then

Fats?

off the potty then

News?

watched karate then…

Muddas playin' Double Dutch, she was hop-scotchin' then

Me?

girl watchin' them

Crooked letter, I (I)

Hump-back, tryna hump that, yes I (I)…

Couldn’t play with Cousin Pooh

They thought I was mockin' him

Grams?

said I was devilish

Been knew I was rotten then

School?

been dropped out

Never really clockin' in

Pops?

been dropped out

Neva really stoppin' in…

Moms?

tryna lock me out

Cops?

tryna lock me in

Damn, devilish one with Pellet-guns

Grew from sling-shottin' them…

To sling-shootin' them dice all day

Kept hook, shot nice all day

Right hook, fight nights all day

Nigga left all night

To keep money right all day

Breaking night, all day

If you could look at me now 2X

If you could look at me now

Let me smoke with you young’in

Y’all was pop-lockin' then

Card-board boxin then

Me-

I was up the center

3-D lockin' in

Strong-arm robbin then

Started car poppin' in

ME-

Skinny toots, Telly boots, Marley Park and El

Got in junk with Passyunk

Wilson Park and them-

Different jects different 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 ain’t 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 ain’t see it like Tony and old man

Mob-style ferreal

This is my life-style f’real

Beanie Sigel (background) —

If you could look at me now

…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 to the front

Now I’m State-Prop flickin' it

State-Prop stitchin' it

I’m paper soldier y’all

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

I know y’all 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 Air Force 1's with no license

Holla at me nigga

Yall can’t tell me shit

Look at me now
