You're Blind

Tenement buildings and skyscrapers

Are polluted and often invaded

With troubled hearts and weakened minds

Living their lives and hoping to find

The golden key to prosperity

Never have a grip on reality

This makes day to day living hard

Trumpin' your fate never peepin' the card

You just goin' through life without a trace

When the answers you seek

Are in front of your face

You're blind you're blind

Tell 'em D

You're headed for the top or so you think

But that's not true for you your life is on the brink

Of self-destruction total corruption

You better get out or die from consumption

Sweat for a dollar to get nothin' back

'Cause at the end of the week you still get taxed

You'd even sell your soul to make your life correct

But with the rate of inflation you should eat your check

So you try to make a hustle to get ahead

But the only thing you manage is to stay in the red

Coppin' from John to sell to Rex

And your jones for success has put your life in check

You're blind you're blind

And you can't see

You need to wear some glasses

Like D M C

You're blind

So you think the facts means you can't win

So you devote your time to a life of sin

Hangin' out late is how you survive

Makin' deals talkin' jive and tellin' lies

Pressure beatin' you down like you're not handlin'

And all the while your mind is ramblin'

About bein' fly or even sly

And bein' held low in the public eye

You decide these things

But you don't know why you're standin' on a corner

Cold playin' the post

'Cause another sucker said you were chillin' the most

You're blind you're blind

Yo you can't see

You need to wear some glasses

Like D M C

You're blind you're blind

You run 'round talkin' 'bout what you hate

Livin' your life just to perpetrate

You think your style is chill because you're always cold

With your platform shoes and your fake gold

So you think you're bad sheer dynamite

But if you only knew

The crew called you freak's delight

Wearin' the tightest jeans and shortest skirt

You think you're cold chillin' lookin' like a jerk

No matter what you do come out second rate

Thinkin' you're on time but you're already late

You're blind you're blind

And you can't see

You need to wear some glasses

Like D M C

You're blind and you can't see

You need to wear some glasses

Like D M C

You're blind

The moral to the story may not be clear

And the only way to catch it is to lend a ear

Stop frontin' so hard

Why don't you peep your card

And your goals in life may not be far

Because these words I say

Are meant for you to hear

So if you bust these facts you will persevere

You're blind you're blind

And you can't see

You needs to wear some glasses

Like D M C
