[Run-D.M.C.]   Tenement buildings, and skyscrapers      [Run]   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      [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] Tell 'em D!      [D.M.C.]   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      [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind!      [Run]   So you think the facts means you can't win   So you devote your time to a life of sin      [D.M.C.]   Hangin out late is how you survive   Makin deals, talkin jive, and tellin lies   Pressure beatin you down   [Run] Like you're not handlin   And all the while, your mind is ramblin   [Run] About bein fly   Or even sly   [both] And bein held low in the public eye   You decide these things but you don't know why   [both] You're standin on a corner cold playin the post   Cause another sucker you were chillin the most      [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] Yo you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind! [2X]      [D.M.C.]    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   [Run] So you think you're bad   Sheer dynamite   But if you only knew the crew called you freak's delight      [Run]   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   [DMC] Thinkin you're on time but you're already late   You're blind      [Run] You're blind! And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind!   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind!      [DMC] The moral to the story may not be clear   [Run] And the only way to catch it is to lend an ear   [DMC] Stop frontin so hard   [Run] Why don't you peep your card?   [DMC] 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      [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You needs to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind!   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C.   [both] You're blind! [2X]   [Run] And you can't see   [DMC] You need to wear some glasses   [Run] like D.M.C. [music fades out]
