Asher Roth - The Reading lyrics
[Asher Roth - The Reading lyrics]
I'm a blood suckin', drug puffin'
Thug frontin' love muffin
Why ma'am that's quite nice
Yeah sure I'd love muffins
Warm from the oven covered honey
Oat and butter nut
Bake about 100 because I'm
Coming with my buddies (what up)
We don't mean to butt in but
There's nothing better coming up
Pack it in forget it, yeah strap on in
Buckle up nothing but the truth
I'm telling you the truth
Hip-hop is still alive, and I am living proof
And in order to improve we must
Kill it at the root
Shooting for the knees not until
You see the pupils
Youthful of useful youthful exuberance
Music refutes that: abuses the rules
And of freedom of speech
Well free to just speak
Let's see that as free time
Build 'em and teach
Yeah read it and weep cause reading increases
Your knowledge and ideas dealing
In the street
While college is fine and the library's vital
God is the bomb and LeVar is my idol
Crime story, mind story, autobiography
Short story, long story, novel, or comedy
Non-fiction rhyme spittin' nonsense now
Not an option
Squashed it (squashed) stop it (stop)
The knot has been knotted and
They noddin' they noggins
And now real start of the truth
So move with the movement, movement of humans
Using the tools we were born with
Or you can forfeit your fortune
To the less fortunate
Unfotunatley the poor kids are
Forced to form they thoughts on
Things formally taught to them
It seems to be the least important
Part to think and dream
Believing things could never get -
Any better then this
So rejecting intellect neglecting interest
The internet becomes a nest of sex
Best describe as extra time to emphasize what
Mom and papa tried to hide
Eject the desktop, inject the Xbox
And let's not stop there -
Watch this head shot
And watch they head pop
Open and then drop to the floor
Keep going cause nobody said "stop"
Our only hope is the music they listening to
Influencing they intution ability to
Recognize between right and wrong
It's either hit or miss no
Intermission and intermission is on
A light goes on - an idea
To volunteer my time, my mind
My rhyme defines the finer things in life
Decide to write a positive vibe acknowledging
The might of the rhyme i am ash-er-roth
Thug frontin' love muffin
Why ma'am that's quite nice
Yeah sure I'd love muffins
Warm from the oven covered honey
Oat and butter nut
Bake about 100 because I'm
Coming with my buddies (what up)
We don't mean to butt in but
There's nothing better coming up
Pack it in forget it, yeah strap on in
Buckle up nothing but the truth

Hip-hop is still alive, and I am living proof
And in order to improve we must
Kill it at the root
