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

[Verse 2]
Yo I was pop-lockin' -Then
Card-board boxin -Then

3-D-
Lockin' in
Strong-arm-
Robbin then
Started car-
Poppin' in
ME-
Skinny toots, Telly boots, Marley Park and El
Got in trouble with Passion
Was from parkin 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

If you could look at me now
[Verse 3]
Now it's 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 SWAT
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
