Take A Good Look Around - Emilio Rojas, Francisco

Seems like every time we try to bring ourselves up

After the love has run out and doors have been shut

We stop to look around and see if anyone is there, hell

I really don’t see anybody anywhere and now

I really don’t see how I was supposed to get up off the ground

After we take a good look around, take a, take a good look around

I love you like a brother, defended ya, attended ya

Ain’t mean to do me wrong, I made excuses and amends with ya

I took your side when other friends of mine offended ya and now

I realize that they was right so all there’s left to do is dead ya, forget ya

I can’t believe I let ya just get the best of me, you acted like I disrespected

ya

Were you jealous?

Did you see me as a threat to ya?

I didn’t know that hoes are more than what a friendship meant to ya

I let you in my home, I even doubled up my rent for ya

So you can tell my exes I’m a mess in hopes they slept with ya

But did it ever cross your mind of who connected ya?

They loyalty’s with me, you really thought they’d be protecting ya?

You struggling for work, my fucking manager cut checks for ya

And now you have the nerve to say that none of us accepted ya

I went from friends with ya to questioning intentions and resenting ya

Now I can’t fucking stomach standing next to ya

It’s times I hate you but we grew up together girl, I raised you

And tried to show your little ass the ropes before they hang you

I seen you go through phases when our father left that change you

And I think it made you crazy, you were once a perfect angel

He pained you, I know you want somebody who can save you

But you should’ve saved yourself for that somebody who can face you

You scared and in all them lesbians that date you, they disgraceful and hateful

They don’t appreciate you, this life is crazy, you figure out that you ain’t

shit

But you realize that you and your sister’s fucking the same chicks

Your older sister keep on repeating the same mistakes and every year

A different dude gonna get with her, she trying to raise kids

The shit is dangerous, I wonder how my nieces feel

When everybody around ‘em keep on changing like the seasons will

Yo, how you supposed to teach ‘em love when you been cheating still?

Think about the cause before you go chasing the cheapest thrills

I ain’t abandon ya, I know I leave a lot but I come back to ya

I knew you back when you was at Kodak and getting cash for food

Before the cats along the avenue sold crack to you

And then they strung you out and now you doing things that addicts do

I was a champ for you, made everyone a fan of you

In every video and interview, I tip my hat to you

But what’s a man to do when everything I handed you

Your ass done took for granted, now the shit you doing’s damaged you?

You fucking raw, you spread disease to all who smashing you

And you sell your ass to all your kids up in the pad with you

It’s the example that you setting, all they have is you

Remember, you were younger, when you dreamed and you had talent too

You in the vacant, in the basement, sucking glass in ya

You just another number, everybody fucking pass on ya

And it’s ironic, you the rock and gotta have it too

There’s something, gotta change before it shatter you
