Who Are You

[Intro]
Yeah, told y’all who I am
Now it’s time for me to find out who you are
You will hear yourself in this song
You might hear yourself three or four times
You might hear yourself on every line
Run it

[Verse 1]
Are you the pimp or the hoe, the friend or the foe?
The amateur or the pro, the snitch or the one who won’t tell what he know?
Are you the Devil or God, are you soft or hard?
Are you mentally stable or emotionally scarred, are you real or fraud?
Are you civilized or wild, grown up or a child?
An advocate of violence or a pacifist, aggressive or mild?
Are you relaxed or stressed, chastised or blessed?
Happy or depressed, do you strive to get more or settle for less?
Are you the flock or the preacher, the student or the teacher?
The reached or the reacher? The angelic being or the demonic creature?
Are you the abused or the abuser, the accused or the accuser?
The winner or the loser? Are you the drug seller or the drug user?
Are you the master or the slave, the cowardly or the brave?
Do you exist on a living perpendicular or in the grave?
Are you a back-biter or the one that’ll say whatever to their faces?
You trouble-free or catch cases? Are you truthful or a racist?
Who are you? Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you?
If you got money, look past your wealth
Who are you?

Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you? Yeah
If you got money, look past your wealth
C’mon

[Verse 2]
Are you a failure or the achiever, the truth or the deceiver?
The heartless person or the griever, the hypocrite or the believer?
Are you loving or hateful, thankful or ungrateful?
Able to preserve or wasteful, are you the cheater or the faithful?
Are you progressive or hinderous, selfish or generous?
Are you forgiving and un-poisonous or vindictive and venomous?
Are you positive or negative? Homeless or in a crib?
Do you take more than you give? Do you exist or do you live?
Are you illiterate or a reader? Are you a follower or a leader?
The defeated or the defeater? An aborter or a life bleeder?
The blood-shedder or the bleeder? Do you use hands or a heater?
Do you blaze in a fast lane or creep cautiously on a feeder?
Are you closed or open minded? Able to see or blinded?
Are you the type to face a problem head-on or hide behind it?
Are you in action or missing? Do you hear or do you listen?
Are you a Buddhist or an Atheist? Are you Muslim, Jew or Christian?
Who are you? Yeah

[Chorus]
Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you?
If you got money, look past your wealth
Who are you?

Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you?
If you got money, look past your wealth
C’mon

[Interlude: Robert Muhammad]
Who are you?
Who you are is determined by the way we live
Every day we live, we write our own eulogy
We are living mathematics and you’re trying to get to 2 by skipping 1
Who are you?

[Verse 3]
Are you the one that’ll bump or the one that’ll bust?
The one that holds self-control or the lust?
What’s your title? Fan or idol?
Do you love life or are you suicidal?
Rather be sober or intoxicated?
In the free world or incarcerated?
Shallow in the mind or strong in the head?
When you did time, was it in the county or the fed?
You really alive or an inanimate object?
A follower of God or really a false prophet?
The one that didn’t learn or the one that got taught?
The one that got away or the one that got caught?
9-to-5 worker or the one that pull licks?
The boy slanging the rocks or the man with the bricks?
Legitimate hood hustler or hating undercover?
You running up in it naked or wrecking it with a rubber?
Straight, gay or bisexual, which are ya?
The daughter or the son abandoned by the father
Humble or arrogant, accidental or intentional
Single, married, divorced
Diverse or one-dimensional
Worldwide or local, quiet or real vocal
Spoke to a lot of folks or antisocial
Lazy or a grinder, a blessing or a curse
Taking care of yours or sweating the next person
Yeah

[Chorus]
Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you?
If you got money, look past your wealth
Who are you?

Look in the mirror, dude, and ask yourself
Who are you?
If you got money, look past your wealth
C’mon

[Outro: Robert Muhammad]
Ye all gods, children of the most high God
What are you afraid of?
Look in the mirror
Get into your divine self
Look in the mirror, fool?
Stop being afraid
Put down that 40, put down that crack pipe
Pick up the book, read, pray and be who you wanna be
