ASher Roth - Pearly Gates Lyrics
[Verse 1: Asher Roth]Yo they thought I made a million dollars off I Love CollegeGot a model, full ride them then retire to BahamasI probably should've, my goodness, no idea what I have put up withBunch of lame excuses from the suits up in the music bizListen 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 laneBut lets be honest for a second, we all know we're not the sameAnd I know just what you think, this wonder is one hitIt's a product or a ? I promise it's not itNo verse that I ain't ripWith words that you can't scriptWe all know who did it first, it just hurts you to admitI've been shitted on, spit up on, dissed and forgottenRick Ross can be a cop, Drake started from the bottomNo offense, I don't want to start a problem but come onAll I ever did was tell you I was champ in beer pongI don't want to live forever but sure hope it lasts longNever underestimate the power of a rap songNever following a fad, I create a platformHave a son and leave him something, hopeful he can pass on like[Hook 3x]We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?[Verse 2]Keep my foot up on the gas, now I'm never going back offNow they're saying, "Ash, yo that mother *****ers back dog."Sure, had it in my palm but I had to let it goSome may say I'm wrong, but it's the only way I could growMost don't understand this entire thing is out controlNo matter how it's going down, always have to let them knowKids eat your vegetables, stretch, wear your SPFGive 110% work until it's nothing leftI refuse, but I confessWanted me to keep them dumbGet them stoned, get them drunkI'm supposed to let them dunk?Nah ***** that, man I'm jumping up to stuff thatEven if that means I'm getting stuck with just a buss passBucks keep the money, I love the feeling of hungry101 and running from the city it's always sunnyI'm cunning and funny, something you can never take from meI know you feel it coming, mummy didn't raise a dummyLove me hate me call me crazy no matter what they rate meOr how serious they take me, what the labels try to make meMan I know that I'm amazing, I'll prove it just you waitAnd I'll never have a problem when I reach the pearly gates like[Hook]
