Look at Em Now Songtext
von Lyfe Jennings

A girl did that?

She was popular
Beautiful figure
Was a cheerleader
They looked up to her
He was an athelete
Good with the women
Everyone loved him
On top of the world
They used to make fun of all the other kids
Who wasn′t cool and free
They were the life of the party
High school royalty
Everything we wanted to be!


But look at 'em now!
20 years later
Cakin′ on her makeup
Prayin' she don't wake up
Look at ′em now!
Can′t hold down a job
Class of '93
On her fourth baby-daddy now
Look at ′em now!
Tryin' to make ends meet
Whatcha know about it?
Whatcha know about it?
Look at ′em now!
40 lookin' 64
Everything that glitters ain′t gold

She was a young girl
Plain as the rain
Glasses and ponytails
Very few friends
He was a loner
Not good at sports
Teased by his classmates
For bein' too short
Always made fun of by all the other kids
For not bein' like them
They were the joke of the party
Called them nobodies
Everything we didn′t wanna be!


But look at ′em now!
20 years later
He runnin' for mayor
Flexin′ on them haters
Look at 'em now!
She just got promoted
Happily married
Ten years and countin′
Look at 'em now!
Makin′ mama so proud
Whatcha know about it?
Whatcha know about it?
Look at 'em now!
40 lookin' 24
Everything that glitters ain′t gold

But, oh
Same thing that′ll make you laugh will make you cry
Same thing that'll make you live will make you die
Same thing that′ll make you lose your fuckin' mind
Fuckin′ mind, fuckin' mind!
Listen
Same people that called you names now
Probably never graduate
Probably just gon′ play it safe
Regular job, regular car, regular wife, regular life
Hell of a price to pay to look at 'em!

20 years later
Oh won't you look at ′em!
20 years later
