Asher Roth - Dope Shit lyrics

rate me

What up world? Finally here

Let me roll up a joint while you grab us a beer, for real

I feel like things been getting a bit weird

So I've got a bone to pick with all the music I hear

Amongst all the marketing schemes

I try my hardest to embark within the artist in me

Wear my heart on my sleeve, play my part on the beat

And when I'm on the other stars I find it hard to compete

But all the jargon gets bombarded makes it harder to keep

Going on with what I started before I fall on my feet

Cause all they want is just a product, sing a song about weed

Being blunt and being honest doesn't sell CD's

You see, I've been loving titties and such

But there's so much I'd rather talk about than being a drunk

Skinny dippin' with some women real thin with the bud

Is way more interestin' than listenin' I guess it's because

See that underground sound the radio don't play

So today to be a star you've gotta look both ways

They say they want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well I'm here

They say they want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well alright, but they want something more commercial

Well alright

See that underground sound the radio don't play

So today to be a star you've gotta look both ways

They want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well I'm here

Weed is all nonsense

As long as we believe it we'll continue to be heavenly incompetent

It's all profit

As long as they're controlling our thoughts they're calling the shots, it's obvious

With no options

We turn on the television and all they tell us is to listen to gossip

They're all monsters

Convincing you they're living under the bed or even in the closet

But they're in our work, in our church, in our conscience

And in our schools, in our rules, in our congressmen

Confused use God defense

But how soon we find out even God's with them

My God your God who's side you with?

My God's your God two sides are split

Common sense, not science of rocket ship

That's why I dream, step to a new consciousness

In my dream slept with the new

Speak through, seek truth, think positive

Do concerts connect with an audience

And tell the whole world direct that we all in this

We all fall down are fathers had started this

To all y'all we all got a part in this

When it's all said and done put my heart in this

And then still find time for some party shit

See that underground sound the radio don't play

So today to be a star you've gotta look both ways

They say they want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well I'm here

They say they want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well alright, but they want something more commercial

Well alright

See that underground sound the radio don't play

So today to be a star you've gotta look both ways

They want that dope shit, dope shit dope shit

Well I'm here

I'm feeling pretty good right now

Just got some shit off my chest, right

You know I'm all for some good music and just chillin' and vibin' out

I think it's only appropriate that we breaking it down

But right now were here for this in fact it's 1500 or Nothin'
