Asher Roth - Pearly Gates lyrics
[Asher Roth - Pearly Gates lyrics]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
We was talking the other day
We realized that dumb rappers need teaching
So this year we gon' let the Cannon
Yo, they thought I made a million
Dollars off "I Love College"
Got a model for a bride
And then retire to Bahamas
I probably should've, my goodness
No idea what I have put up with
Bunch of lame excuses from the suit's
Up in the music biz
Listen to what Q Tip said
"game it be the shadiest"
Keepers at the gate
What it take for you to play my shit?
I've been super patient
Watching dudes get in my lane
But let's be honest for a second
We all know we're not the same
And I know just what you think
This wonder is one hit
It's a product or a baraka
I promise it's not it
No verse that I ain't rip with
Words that you can't script
We all know who did it first
It just hurts you to admit
I've been shitted on, spit up on
Dissed and forgotten rick Ross can be a cop
Drake started from the bottom no offense
I don't want to start a problem but come on
All I ever did was tell you
I was champ in beer pong
I don't want to live forever but
Sure hope it lasts long
Never underestimate the power of a rap song
Never following a fad, I create a platform
Have a son and leave him something
Hopeful he can pass on like
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
Keep my foot up on the gas
Now I'm never going back off
Now they're saying, "Ash
Yo that mother fuckers back dog"
Sure, had it in my palm but
I had to let it go some may say I'm wrong
But it's the only way that I could grow
Most don't understand this entire
Thing is out control
No matter how it's going down
Always have to let them know
Kids eat your vegetables, stretch
Wear your SPF
Give 110%, work until it's nothing left
I refuse, but I confess
Wanted me to keep them dumb
Get them stoned, get them drunk
I'm supposed to let them dunk?
Nah fuck that
Man I'm jumping up to stuff that
Even if that means I'm getting stuck
With just a bus pass bucks keep the money
I love the feeling of hungry
101 and running from the
City it's always sunny
I'm cunning and funny
Something you can never take from me
I know you feel it coming
Mummy didn't raise a dummy
Love me, hate me, call me crazy
No matter what they rate me
Or how serious they take me
What the labels try to make me
Man I know that I'm amazing
I'll prove it just you wait
And I'll never have a problem when
I reach the pearly gates like
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
We're here to stay and never ever going away
Right?
