[00:02.34]
[00:22.15]Tenement buildings and skyscrapers
[00:24.84]Are polluted and often invaded
[00:27.52]With troubled hearts and weakened minds
[00:30.27]Living their lives and hoping to find
[00:33.02]The golden key to prosperity
[00:35.40]Never have a grip on reality
[00:38.40]This makes day to day living hard
[00:41.15]Trumpin' your fate  never peepin' the card
[00:43.88]You just goin' through life without a trace
[00:46.38]When the answers you seek
[00:47.77]Are in front of your face
[00:48.97]You're blind  you're blind
[00:55.16]
[00:58.78]Tell 'em D
[00:59.91]You're headed for the top or so you think
[01:02.66]But that's not true for you  your life is on the brink
[01:05.30]Of self-destruction  total corruption
[01:08.30]You better get out or die from consumption
[01:11.05]Sweat for a dollar to get nothin' back
[01:13.61]'Cause at the end of the week you still get taxed
[01:16.36]You'd even sell your soul to make your life correct
[01:19.12]But with the rate of inflation you should eat your check
[01:21.75]So you try to make a hustle to get ahead
[01:24.56]But the only thing you manage is to stay in the red
[01:27.43]Coppin' from John to sell to Rex
[01:30.12]And your jones for success has put your life in check
[01:32.82]You're blind  you're blind
[01:40.01]And you can't see
[01:41.01]You need to wear some glasses
[01:42.45]Like D M C
[01:43.48]You're blind
[01:44.41]
[02:05.73]So you think the facts means you can't win
[02:08.04]So you devote your time to a life of sin
[02:11.22]Hangin' out late is how you survive
[02:13.83]Makin' deals  talkin' jive and tellin' lies
[02:16.58]Pressure beatin' you down  like you're not handlin'
[02:19.46]And all the while your mind is ramblin'
[02:22.31]About bein' fly or even sly
[02:24.74]And bein' held low in the public eye
[02:27.43]You decide these things
[02:28.93]But you don't know why you're standin' on a corner
[02:31.62]Cold playin' the post
[02:32.93]'Cause another sucker said you were chillin' the most
[02:35.60]You're blind  you're blind
[02:44.54]
[02:45.28]Yo  you can't see
[02:46.54]You need to wear some glasses
[02:47.97]Like D M C
[02:49.29]You're blind  you're blind
[02:55.78]
[03:00.35]You run 'round talkin' 'bout what you hate
[03:03.03]Livin' your life just to perpetrate
[03:05.54]You think your style is chill because you're always cold
[03:08.54]With your platform shoes and your fake gold
[03:11.29]So you think you're bad  sheer dynamite
[03:13.80]But if you only knew
[03:14.92]The crew called you freak's delight
[03:16.61]Wearin' the tightest jeans and shortest skirt
[03:19.42]You think you're cold chillin'  lookin' like a jerk
[03:22.10]No matter what you do  come out second rate
[03:24.82]Thinkin' you're on time but you're already late
[03:27.69]You're blind  you're blind
[03:34.82]And you can't see
[03:35.81]You need to wear some glasses
[03:37.12]Like D M C
[03:38.50]You're blind and you can't see
[03:41.19]You need to wear some glasses
[03:42.62]Like D M C
[03:44.00]You're blind
[03:44.69]
[04:06.18]The moral to the story may not be clear
[04:08.51]And the only way to catch it is to lend a ear
[04:10.96]Stop frontin' so hard
[04:12.71]Why don't you peep your card
[04:14.21]And your goals in life may not be far
[04:16.70]Because these words I say
[04:18.00]Are meant for you to hear
[04:19.31]So if you bust these facts you will persevere
[04:22.19]You're blind  you're blind
[04:28.56]
[04:29.44]And you can't see
[04:30.31]You needs to wear some glasses
[04:32.19]Like D M C

[04:38.69]You're blind
