Check Yo Self Songtext
von Blessed Man

Mmm
Oh yeah
Mmm
Live your life, drop the knife
Oh yeah
Oh

Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
Things can′t stay this way
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
We really need to see a change


The streets be like
This man where have you been
What have you seen
To make you disappear
Is it because we are unclean
And addicted to green
We stealing, we dealing
Yeah you know what we mean
It makes a man wonder
What these youths are under
Get to know the streets
Don't let it control your thinking
You could end up sinking
And end up drinking
With a mouth so foul
You could end up stinking
And end up linking
In the wrong council flats
With council cats
Who move around with baseball bats
With baseball hats
Far from a stranger
Other youths are in danger
In the streets of London
And there′s no way out
Like they're trapped in a manger
It makes a man lazy
It makes a man crazy
Till the point of no return
You live and you learn
If you work you will earn
If you don't you will burn

Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
Things can′t stay this way
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
We really need to see a change
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
Things can′t stay this way
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
We really need to see a change


Ghetto superstar
Very nice car
But your girl's got a scar
From the drugs that you sold
Why you wanna dare
She got your kids to look after
It′s coming like a joke
But the fact they loved her
Cause deep down
The implication is serious
Picture a hero
Being reduced to zero
Hospitalized for dealing in the wrong place
Murder was the case
They wanna see his face
On the east side
His territory is west
Far from doing his best
Prematurely put to rest
Flowers on his grave
Especially from those
Who considered him brave
God requires an account
As to why he wasn't saved
Like that ghetto youth Dave
He was down with the rave
He was down with the secular
Didn′t have the time to read his bible on the regular
Now is it hard to tell
If it's heaven or hell

Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
Things can′t stay this way
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
We really need to see a change
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
Things can't stay this way
Live your life
Why we seeing all these killings
Drop the knife
We really need to see a change

There's a voice crying out from the wilderness saying
People
For real
We need to stop this senseless killing
We need to stop this senseless killing
And restore our communities back to peace
Restore our communities
It′s time to stop the violence
