Run DMC – You're Blind lyrics

Tenement buildings and skyscrapers
All polluted and often invaded
With troubled heart and weakened mind
Livin their lives and hopin to find
The golden key to prosperity
Never have a grip on reality
This makes day-to-day living hard
Jump in your fate, never keeping the card
You're just going 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's on the brink
Of self-destruction, total corruption
You better get out or die from consumption
Sweatin' 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
Concrete-front job to sell to wrecks
And your Jones for success puts your life in check

You're blind
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind

So you think the facts mean you can't win
So you devote your time to a life of sin
Hanging out late is how you survive
Making deals, talking jive and telling lies
Pressure beatin ya down, like you're not handlin
And all the while, your mind is ramblin
About being fly, or even sly
And being held low in the public eye
You desire these things, but you don't know why
You're standing on the corner cold, playing 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 DMC
You're blind
You're blind

You run, rap, talk about what you hate
Livin your life just to perpetrate
You thinkin style in chill, because you're always cold
With your platform shoes and your stained gold
So you think you're bad, sheer dynamite
But if you only knew the crew, cause you're freaks delight
Wearing 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 DMC
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
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 car
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 need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
You're blind
You're blind, And you can't see
You need to wear some glasses like DMC
