Lyrics

Bridge
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
Nigga left for a night
To keep money right all day
Break a night all day
Bridge
If you could look at me now x2
[Beanie sigel (background)]-
If you could look at me now
Let me smoke with you young'in

[Verse 2]
Yall 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 them
Got in trouble with passyunk
Wilson park n them-
Other jacks, diffeferent 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 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

(Bridge)

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-shit with rap if you want
I pull the bull-shit 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 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 airforce 1's with no license-
Holla at me nigga
Yall can't tell me shit
Look at me now
