[Verse 1]
Sitting on a trufitt
Puffing on the best cut bud tryna get but from Ms. Muffet
Me and teddy rockspins stirring up a ruckus
Egging all the houses, smashing all the pumpkins
Suck-a-dick buttkiss, chumps can't funk with the punk kids
Ash roth be the king of the blumpkins
Any Tim Duncan spur off the moment
Let the whole world know I run shit
Jump ship quick tell a friend that im dumb sick
Spit fungus that'll grow from a dung
Trip twist to a front flip son now is some trick
Watch all the dumb chicks hump when I bump this

[Verse 2]
Kinda like the blonde Bob Saget, Ash can get nasty
Pass me a blunt and some Captain chilling with an Ashley
Heading to the mall
Sitting in the backseat getting jerked off
10 feet tall with the balls of a matador
Door matted whore with your words heard that before
Poor metaphor pedicure get your feet fixed
Walk in my shoes for a few yea you gon need it
Yeah got your Wii fit to practice your fris with
Need a few weeks before you can compete with
Razor Ramon flow oh so sharp
you can take a Palsky
I'ma take lark on my go-kart

[Verse 3]
Mario kart skills are outrageous
Play me any day and I'll be the best racist
Wait no erase it meant to say racer
Traded in my cell phone for a new pager
Take off your bluetooth now dot come
I'm at the grocery store with hot moms
Bout 35 with at least two kids
We can make out while my friend babysits
All up in your fridge eating left over shit
Tuna sandwich, butterscotch krimpets,
Cheetos be my choice of chips, I enjoy for a bit
Take a sip from my sips and then split

[Asher]
Roll up that J is it rolled?
Yeah roll it up, uh

[Verse 4]
Hair like a troll doll
Basketball shorts on
Yea I'ma dork but I'm still holding court, ball up, baller
Y'all take to long get dolled up
Give a fuck if I look like I just woke up
Who am I tryna impress
Honey in the sundress
With the breasts luscious
Just sent me a text
"O M G you're the B E S
If you tryna have sex I'm the best at it"

. . .

This is what i say
La Di Da Da Da
La Di Da Da Da

When you cant take it
When you cant take it no more
This is what you say
La Di Da Da Da

Verse 1
=======

They say its a cold world
Yeah you got that right
I almost packed it all in on the spot last night
They want a killer instinct
Im just that type
If the fights not mine
I wont fight that fight
Life without struggling
Yeah right
Make one mistake, wont make that twice
Out of sight out of mine
Find yourself out of time
Buy your own pants
Get your hands out of mine
In the promise they say you'll make it
Theres work to be done
You must grind and shine
If every second is a blessing
Yes it is precious
Suggest you get message
The aggression when your finding a direction
Heading non stop just to find that the road is blocked
You wanna Pop, POP
Flip your lid and stomp
Lets settle down and work it out
Its really all you've got

(Chrous)

Verse 2
=======

And yeah im frustrated
Whats this, how much, who what, where when, why man, how Come
So many questions unanswered
I don't understand
Could you please explain sir
I'm in a phase, I believe i can change
In exchange for an explanation, estimation, hesitation
Is it as visible dealing with digital
Figitting through email
when the issue is pivotal,critical condition
My heads in
I'm heading
in the wrong direction
Book me a session
Let it off my chest
Ill invest in a (Cannon)
Just so i can blow with my bro as my (Right hand man)
Fan dan man, ass kicking with ash spitting
I'm not different just ask Jigga (Ask Jigga)
He listened and witnessed the birth of a star
Urging and surging his way up to the top of the charts

(Chrous)

When im trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When im trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When im trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When im trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)

When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)

I remember Way Back I mean way back ages. Eighth grade I think, feels like yesterday. Bowl cuts was the craze I was crazy long blond hair all over the place. And I'm pale as I ever was baby face, with a frame like a skeleton. Skinny kid, no friends still love by everyone. No shit I was cool, I had plenty fun. World wish I would grow up big, no not built, but they said, drink my milk. Didn't get no where switched up diet. Started having hip hop. Pop's didn't like it. Wanted more Springsteen, Earth, Wind, Fire. Felt that was fine but to rhyme had to try it. Couldn't hide the fact that I wanted to rap. Bought Jay Z CD wit my own pension. And that was back in 98 wit the Langley sniffilin, Money ain't a thing. And even though I couldn't relate, I kept studyin, and listenin and stuffin my face.
(Chorus)

And then came High School started picking up a mic thought I was cool. My friend said yo homie, you know that your white dude? I said what for real? Yo its all good. Cause like this, when I tried it, liked it, fixed it, hyped it. insisted the mic be positioned just right. Just like that 9th grade footy heard, straight from the philly burbs. feel me? Pretty sure. Suburban threat was the name, we would really work, steady spendin the day spittin silly versus. No curses, rightin bout our girlfriends. Ball point pen, head spinning like a whirlwind. Gettin on the mic, I'm a wizard like Merlin. Breakin barriers, tearin walls like its Berlin.
(Chorus)

And I think it was the summer of 12th grade? when Uncle C passed away leaving us empty. And it hurt, real bad, disturbed, real sad. But we had to move on so in fact real fast, we wrote this song about fallin ones, miscues, and the misuse of words used to disdue. So true. In a serious face I'm convinced god works in mysterious ways, like everything happens for a reason. I had to believe it, cause that explains why the leave us. As in people that mean everything. I got love for them all, they'll be their if I fall But.
(Chorus)

. . .


I gotta be by myself
gotta be by myself this time

In the backseat screaming out loud (hooo}
In the backseat screaming out (hooo}
Ash is young, attractive
Handsome bachelor, awesome rapper
got a knack for, vernacular
When I perform, spectacular
I'll have any girl that i want
I'ma take the girl in the front
Boobs bounce when I tell the crowd jump
Honey come backstage I just wanna have fun, but
I'm too young to be locked down, not now
Need a new car, drive around with the top down
New broad with a bra the top down
Chillin in the backseat screaming out loud

She wants to be my lady
But I don't see her
She wants to be my lady
But I'm a free bird

I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
I gotta fly by myself, go get high myself this time

The cycle is Shawn Michaels (heartbreak),
And yeah I like you but not enough to wife you
You say I'm nice, true, and you think I'm the right dude
But there's another girl just like you (like who?)

And on the road, 'nother night , 'nother show
New e-vent in a new time zone
And the live show is so mind-blowin
And it's my show so you know I'm blown (you know)

No text's gonna give me head
Long distance just ain't my thing
Young single don't need no ring
I'm a free man now I don't need no strings, sing

She wants to be my lady
But I don't see her
She wants to be my lady
But I'm a free bird

I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
I gotta fly by myself, Go get high myself this time

If you're cool with nights at the pool
Jacuzzis and groupies, boobies and booze
And no rules, I'm only 22
I need to watch football and hang with a crew
But if you don't get mad when I get fat
Cuz all I do is eat drink smoke weed and rap
And play Madden, then dag
you're pretty rad and I take it all back, come on

She wants to be my lady
But I don't see her
She wants to be my lady
But I'm a free bird

I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
I gotta fly by myself, Go get high myself this time

just keep clappin the hands, it feels good
feels nice and warm in here right now
I'm feelin free
If you feel free clap your hands
Ahh, ahh come on

. . .

Verse 1
use the eyes of the owl
the sour patch kids got me out of wack
and out of gas
the hour glass spills as im left on the vasey without a vest
lost my train of thought
my brain can not be bought
trained to trainicle auberate with authority
the chay in may
to the leaders i am scary
i
pose a threat to those who get to close for comfort
and wont conform
come forward
sworn on my unborn son if there is one more war i will come for
poor get poor, the rich just get richer
get the jist
you see the big picture?
china's ditched from a shake on the Richter
mother earth strucks and we all get evicted
this some sick shit
slightly twisted
information from our nations capital
capital is all the captain calls for
they just want more (and more)
and more (and more)
and more (and more)
and more (and more)
and more (and more)

Chorus
take me away
take me away from here
take me away
i don't here you

Verse 2
my people crying, and be dining, they be dining in the hours, drinking wine with their wives like everything is fine
denying that they fightin for the their lives, every night to survive since the beginning of time
aye-yai-yai
cant believe the evil that feeds off this so called American dream
lies in the seat make all the Americans seem like blood-sucking money hungry fiends
but money doesn't mean
a damn thing to me
i just want to be
i want to be free
but unfortunately a fortune is what you need
cause the fortune 500s run the country
its one company
if your not a company
would you mind grabbing me a cup of tea?
if we go hungry, in our own country
i wonder whats its like living in Hungry
yeah, it isn't funny, but its coming
its about to get ugly
streets turn to a game of rugby

Chorus

Verse 3
we're buying bubbly and making rate 100s
is it just me or is that some dumbshit
yo what the fuck
hoe comes
little dumbshit
lets go
(i know you can think of something)
donate your dollars
raise a dollar
help a mother
save a father
cause poverty is probably our biggest problem
and it ain't gonna stop with Obama
to save the world we must start at the bottom

Chorus

. . .


CHORUS x2
take me as I am my friend
aint gon change, wont be no end
rock these songs, rock these shows
only good life I know
v1
I was in 7th grade when I heard the slim shady LP
Ya my mom brought it down when I was ironing, Irony
Getting out the wrinkles, Just a little kid in middle school
Sink my teeth in anything just to think im cool
Riding the bus, feel the rush from I still don’t give a fuck
Ya I wish I could agree, but ive already had enough
Ive already given up, from playin the same game
Every interview, feel like im sayin the same thang
Like em was great, ya he paved the way for me
He was inspiration for everybody from a to z
But they keep relatin me, I cant get away
Chasin me (all day long)
I hear it(all day long)
And now the masses think that asher
wants to be a marshall mathers
they say, his not a rapper
na his ass is just an actor
cuz we have the same complexion
and similar voice inflection
its easy to see the pieces
and reach for that connection
every second of every minute each hour of every day
im constantly on the fence defending my own name
explaining where not the same
not much that I can say,
except im sick ofit
critics ??? sparked up a flame
CHORUS x2
take me as I am my friend
aint gon change, wont be no end
rock these songs, rock these shows
only good life I know

v2
Now, don’t get it twisted,
Ive definitely benefited
Its like Suddenly everyone wants to hear what I be spittin
So different, the image they don’t get it
Its simple, im jus a kid who wants to rap to make a livin
But em was in it way before I commited
And his lyrics were the shit, so I really gotta come wit it
But each critic be pickin apart my written, if it isn’t up to par
Then asher paul is just a gimmick
Is it my fault, must I be more convincing
Yall talk all you want, never haunt me for my mission
Use it as ammunition,
would u please keep dissin me (all day long)
I hear it (all day long)
And ya the haters wanna hate me
Cuz I made it and im famous
But until you take my place ,
youll never now what it takes
to make a record for respect
take a second to inspect
when you look like some1 else,
then what the fuck do you expect
I just wanna be accepted
As the illest in the game
But its harder for an artist creating his own name
That’s synonomous with rhyming,
And Combined with perfect timing
On the time I was left declining
And about to explode, so hold on

CHORUS x2

V3
SO fuck it, that all Ive got
Theres nothing else for me to say
If I don’t confront the problem
It will never go away
Unless it is addressed
Theres nothing left for me to do
Its impossible rejecting an elephant in the room
Say good bye to all the bullshit
Notions pre conceded
So long to all the blogs, could swore they knew me
If you have no further questions I cant think of other thoughts
Then id like to introduce you to asher paul roth

Chorus x2

. . .


[Asher Roth]
Pretty girl, you know that you so hot (hot, hot-hot)
How about I take you to my spot? (spot, spot-spot)
We can take off all our clothes, he won't call anymo'
You hear my lion roar, head high, eyes closed
You begin to describe all things we do in a big big bed in an empty room
Look at you on me then me on you with a warm washcloth and a few ice cubes
Did it get so wet? No I'm not my best when I make you sweat
Ready now get set cause you get no rest
I'ma smack that butt, I'ma grab them breasts
Yeahhh, tell me what you like (like) can I scratch and bite? (bite)
We can scratch that fight (fight) make it last all night
Slidin on your side and curves, satisfy the primal urge
Ridin on you back and forth, that's how you make my lion roar

[Chorus: New Kingdom]
Head high, I'm low
Hear my, lion roar (ooooh)
Lion roar (ooooh)
Head high, I'm low
Hear my, lion roar (ooooh)
Lion roar (ooooh)

[Asher Roth]
Yeah yeah...
On the mic I'm a beast, I'm a big bad beast
I could speak that heat, I don't need no reason
Jeepers, them big teeth you be feedin
Better leave now, I'm 'bout to be eatin
Even you stick around and we beatin
Bleedin, have him laid out on the cement
Breathin, I had him back in your team and
leave in peace and have a safe evenin
Beef is not what I like to do
Speakin just to enlighten you
Teach him a rhyme and preach in the mind and
a beautiful thing keep fightin through
Just how big's the fight in you? Tight and high and mighty or
A lighty, hide your heiny when a giant hasn't frightened you (you)
Look in my eyes (eyes) you see my pride? (pride)
You see the fire (fire) burnin down the side
Will and drive'll make a man, doin what you say I can
Oh you think I'm playin? Well let's see just what you made of then

[Chorus]

[Busta Rhymes]
Busta Bust and I'm back on my BULLSHIT NOW!!

C'mon! Got to make you wanna jump jump jump
and I come with another banger and I know you wanna bump
Cap and gown when I smack you down
and I graduated homie bangin in the trunk
Put yo' hands where my eyes could see
Let me take this thing to where it really need to be
One-two-three, let me take time
to remind y'all that you can't fuck with me
Shake yo' ass on the way to the flo'
in the dungeon drinkin and the lions roar
All my little mamis come to the crib
Let me pound on the coochie until it gets sore
Then I laugh and cough when I flash and floss
Moment when I get cash as a boss
Asher Roth, I'm comin too
cause I heard that you got a lot of ass in the loft
See I ain't playin mister
I'm 'bout to twist your sister
That's how we do it killer, yeah!
(Lion roar) Yeah! (Lion roar)

[Outro: Asher Roth]
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
That's when I let my lion roar (lion roar)
(Lion roar.. lion roar.. lion roar)

and it just keeps going
and it just keeps..

So I'm in the airport getting ready to leave heading to a friends wedding in the NYC
but my head has been spinning I'm forgetting to eat, all this jet setting has really been getting to me.
It's already 11:20 and I'm ready to sleep but instead I end up sitting in the 27th seat,
an isle seat, fine by me but the guy that's insides always trying to pee.
With a wild child behind that's crying keeps flipping out and kicking at me while it violently screams
So I silently plead "Oh God, please let there be a hunny sitting 27B" but of course a morbidly obese beast
is in the seat that weeses when it breathes _ is at least three deep and he keeps telling me what is wrong with his knees
_ just need water but for a bottle they charge two dollars and when I thought that it couldn't be worse, I forgot my iPod.

I'm having a bad day, nothing ever seems to go my way.
Everybody needs to go away, why because I'm having a bad day.

and it just keeps going
and it just keeps... X2

So four hours of turbulence, we land when I'm about to turd in my pants, but the captain is seat belt fastened.
So my ass is just passin gas and at last I escape from the plane when I'm minutes away from clinically insane.
I make my way towards baggage claim when I hear a high pitched voice scream my name.
Some dumb B****, I went to high school with while shes sweating shes telling me she likes my s***.
I just smile and think how great it would be if I could just hit this chick with a quick like sweep.
So I pick up my LL Bean and b line for the next taxi.
In need of weed and boxer briefs but my bags only got maxis.

I'm having a bad day, nothing ever seems to go my way.
Everybody needs to go away, why because I'm having a bad day.

and it just keeps going
and it just keeps... X2

I check into my hotel room and I pick up my cell phone to dial the groom
Tell him I moved and that I'm ordering food and I'm probably gonna stay in and watch a movie
but the tube has no HBO so anything I want yo I'm paying for but I'm lame and broke so I'm laying in a robe
watching that Little People Big World show right then there's a knock at the door, it's my last hope for a Spanish whore.
who will change my sheets in exchange for penis "Hi, I've lost my ****, have you seen it?"

Jesus, this day is the worst, at least I can give me a little jerk and then go to sleep healthy and diseaseless I guess it could be worse but I'm just

having a bad day, nothing ever seems to go my way.
Everybody needs to go away, why because I'm having a bad day.

and it just keeps going
and it just keeps... X2

. . .


He leans back from his desk
Rubs the back of his neck
The stress takes effect
Grips the bridge of his nose
Squints while he's showing emotion he normally won't
At 56, he re-evaluates, possibly regretting some decisions that he's made
Black is turning Grey, patches of his age
Reflecting from the glasses a pass of every page
Passionately day reads, reading on occasion
Dreaming of the day when he could do the same thing
He's always wanted to write, that's all he's wanted in life
With two daughters, a son, and a remarkable wife
He's in a bind, he's has to provide
A family is relying on a Milli to survive
His father died at 56, so he's well aware how vital a father figure is
How big of a responsibility it is
To be a good husband and care for your kids
Never miss an event, helping them with homework
Discipline to prevent things when they're older

His only son is only 21 and focus as a poet has only just begun
Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means
His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see (his dream)
The sacrifices he made for me (his dream)
Put it aside for his family (his dream)
So I'ma keep it alive (yeah)

And so he targeted to be the dream guardian
Guarding it from anything and anyone whose harming it
But in his heart he knows the hardest thing about it is
Giving up on his dream to be all about his kids
As he kisses the lips of the Mrs. for 24 years, going on the 25th
He thinks to himself this alone is the wealth
That's greater then what's bought and that's sold on the shelf
Sometimes a dream is all that we have
We have to continue to dream
Cause once it is lost amongst other thoughts
Then what really are we? (What are we?)

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see (his dream)
The sacrifices he made for me (his dream)
Put it aside for his family (his dream)
So I'ma keep it alive (yeah)

So he sits back at his desk
Cracking his knuckles and back of his neck
Faxing a paper displaying his name
on another application explaining the main
Things they should know, but the things that they don't
All the things that distinguish him as an adult
And over the phone he can never expose
The roll that he chose, the roll in his home
And at home he is a leader, a father
He'll prove it by using his son and his daughters
In their life he'll be playing the part of
The one who inspires, the one we admire

His only son is only 21 and focus as a poet has only just begun
Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means
His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see (his dream)
The sacrifices he made for me (his dream)
Put is aside for his family (his dream)
So I'ma keep it alive (yeah)
