Asher Roth - All Add Up lyrics

I thought we was done, for real
It was over with the setting of the sun
Maybe I'm too old for this
Recording, touring, shows
Photographs are showing it
Game has sucked my soul
Might be time to abort the miss'
Um, nah, granted I've been fortunate
Been around, been up and down like
Sort of some contortionist
Of course if when you start it
It's important that you finish it
Times cathartic
As an artist it gets interesting
Hard to not doubt everything
You thought about
Might never pan out the way
You thought it might
So I saw a mic and I was like "Well
Might be down tomorrow night
But for now I'd rather drown my
Sorrows and be somber like"

Everything in your past, no, it don't matter
You's a professional, not some old rapper
Got a code, gotta live by the solid shadow
Let it go, gotta grow
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that it

'Cause the truth was I didn't give two fucks
The groupies, the crew love
Or trying to get new buzz the interviews
The "Who's? What's cool? We
Should do something"
Envious of everyone who's racking
Up a number one
Dumb, rapping for the accolades
Don't you know that passion isn't
Stacking up the memories
The XXL, you was on the front page
The MSG, you was on that summer stage
That was dope, all the European shows
Doing front flips with Mac in
Norway with Steve Aoki
Mos Def with Magic, playing Magic and Madden
Man these become the moments and the
Only thing that matters man, you know this

Everything in your past, no, it don't matter
You's a professional, not some old rapper
Got a code, gotta live by the solid shadow
Let it go, gotta grow
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that it

Stay focused, I know that it's a challenge
But, if you can reap your talent and
Then try to keep a balance
Or maybe you can galvanize the
Youth out of their silence
And they can be like you and
Sing a tune on Jimmy Fallon
There's value in everything you say
And what you do so if you wasn't you
Would you wanna hang with you?
Do you speak the truth? Give
Respect when it's due?
Showing love to all the elder
Ones who became before you?
My position in this thing, that's a given
I try to make a living
While keeping the children driven
Choosing your direction in each
And every decision
Start thinking about who you is
Forget about who you isn't man

Everything in your past, no, it don't matter
You's a professional, not some old rapper
Got a code, gotta live by the solid shadow
Let it go, gotta grow
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that it all add up?
Don't you know that
