You're Blind

Lyrics

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
 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
 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 you were chillin the most
 Yo you can't see
 You need to wear some glasses
 like D.M.C.
 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 an 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
 And you can't see
 You needs 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.
 And you can't see
 You need to wear some glasses
 like D.M.C.
 And you can't see
 You need to wear some glasses
 like D.M.C.
 And you can't see
 You need to wear some glasses
 like D.M.C.
 And you can't see
 You need to wear some glasses
