rate me<FONT size="1"><B>(feat. Slick Rick)</B></FONT><BR><BR>
"You are not someone else, someone else is someone else<br>
You are you, it is you, you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Slick Rick]</i><br>
Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam<br>
Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam "You are you"<br>
Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam<br>
"It is you, you are you, you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus: Asher Roth & Slick Rick]</i><br>
There's nothing, that you can do about it<br>
The one thing that I've figured out is "you are you"<br>
Forget it, there's no way around it<br>
"It is you, you are you, you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Asher Roth]</i><br>
No matter what I do to try and fit in<br>
There's nothing I can do about this body I was given<br>
I'm blond and I am skinny, with my mom's ? skin<br>
The Scotter side, and my father schnoz to go with it<br>
Nice nose, my hair, yeah I can try and dye it<br>
And contacts could change the color of my eyes but "you are you"<br>
That would only mean that I am lying<br>
And openly denying it's not who, who I am<br>
I try to be too big for my britches<br>
And couldn't, regardless of my Skee-Lo wishes<br>
A couple more inches and I would be in business<br>
But still I'm waking up 5'10 every Christmas "you are you"<br>
My fingerprints is what makes me different<br>
It took a little bit, but I can finally admit it<br>
This is my appearance, this is my face<br>
Looking in the mirror there is nothing I can change<br>
Might be a little strange, the way you can see my veins<br>
But if we were the same, the world would be plain vain<br>
It would be lame, you would never learn a thing<br>
So go against the grain, and let these people know your name "you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus 2X]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Slick Rick]</i><br>
Dog kiss culprits, all getting a girl<br>
Due to hip hop invisible pulping off the wall<br>
Nothing to play with, skipping all the way with<br>
It conveying who we all are, how we all fit in this mosaic<br>
Portrait, thesis of a brother<br>
Homosexual being last pieces of the puzzle<br>
All religion who read divine pine verse<br>
Could God once pray, folks get their mind right first<br>
Then weed out, legitimate seed crop<br>
? with ? feed like intrigue why<br>
And politics, harvest the chatter<br>
Dissect good from garbage that'll matter "you are you"<br>
Now I doubt you, but allowed to<br>
What amounts to, that's just what adults do<br>
Keeping with the pace of barbarian<br>
Keeping goldy jewels in the face of American "you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus 2X]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Asher Roth]</i><br>
Besides, it's all about your mind<br>
Your will and your drive, and what's going on inside<br>
The size of your heart is what sets you apart<br>
If you aren't using it, I suggest that you start "you are you"<br>
Think hard, take a walk around the block "you are you"<br>
It's cool if you're a nerd, or a jock<br>
Or a prep, or a goth, nobody gives a fuck<br>
There's nothing you can do, just stop, just stop, man<br>
Mad props since I linked up with Knotts<br>
Still never wear socks, always in flip flops<br>
No chain or a watch, I be slinging no rocks<br>
But my slang be the thang that be saving hip hop (he's good)<br>
Screw the box, go outside the lines<br>
Just be you, stop with the trying<br>
And in due time, it is true you will find<br>
There is nothing to remember if you never ever lie "you are you"<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus 2X]</i><br>
