Run–D.M.C. - 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. You're blind And you can't see You need to wear some glasses Like D.M.C. You're blind, you're blind And you can't see You need to wear some glasses Like D.M.C. You're blind, you're blind And you can't see You need to wear some glasses Like D.M.C. You're blind, you're blind And you can't see You need to wear some glasses Like D.M.C. You're blind, you're blind And you can't see You need to wear some glasses Like D.M.C.
