Check Yourself Lyrics

[Intro:]
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la, oh oh
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

[Chorus:]
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Don't diss your friends and neglect your crew
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Who laugh last will laugh the best
I wonder who they really try to impress
Everywhere them go them all a beat them chest
Check yourself don't wreck yourself

[Verse 1:]
From the money start earn you a gwaan like it control all you wealth
Burnin all your bridges bittin the hand that gave you health
When the money's gone and now your family is not left
Your gonna need your friends need your friends
This is what I recommend recommend

[Chorus:]
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Put your respect where your respect due
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Don't you forget where your comin from
Just because you have a little money in hand
Soon very soon you might a now have none
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
[Verse 2:]
Same people you passed growin up your gonna pass them comin now
Never even look their way cause you worried now
Now the things you done you have to hand over your crown
No one's there to save you, nobody wants to hear a sound (Sound)

[Chorus:]
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Listen to the Marshall point of view
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Tryin to be something that your not
Neglect your friends cause you claim your hot
Soon this fast life has to stop
Check yourself don't wreck yourself

[Bridge:]
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la, oh oh
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

[Verse 3:]
I never make my money change the life I live
Always keep it conscious keep the music positive
When your makin it make sure you turn around and give
Your gonna wanna come back someday, don't you burn that bridge
[Chorus:]
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Don't diss your friends and neglect your crew
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Who laugh last will laugh the best
Who you really think you tryin to impress
Hypin up on the less fortunate
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Put your respect where your respect due
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
Don't you forget where your comin from
Just because you have a little money in hand
Soon very soon you might a now have none
Check yourself don't wreck yourself
