As I Em

CHORUS x2

take me as I am my friend

aint gon change, wont be no end

rock these songs, rock these shows

only good life I know

v1

I was in 7th grade when I heard the slim shady LP

Ya my mom brought it down when I was ironing, Irony

Getting out the wrinkles, Just a little kid in middle school

Sink my teeth in anything just to think im cool

Riding the bus, feel the rush from I still don't give a fuck

Ya I wish I could agree, but ive already had enough

Ive already given up, from playin the same game

Every interview, feel like im sayin the same thang

Like em was great, ya he paved the way for me

He was inspiration for everybody from a to z

But they keep relatin me, I cant get away

Chasin me (all day long)

I hear it(all day long)

And now the masses think that asher

wants to be a marshall mathers

they say, his not a rapper

na his ass is just an actor

cuz we have the same complexion

and similar voice inflection

its easy to see the pieces

and reach for that connection

every second of every minute each hour of every day

im constantly on the fence defending my own name

explaining where not the same

not much that I can say,

except im sick ofit

critics ??? sparked up a flame

CHORUS x2

take me as I am my friend

aint gon change, wont be no end

rock these songs, rock these shows

only good life I know

v2

Now, don't get it twisted,

Ive definitely benefited

Its like Suddenly everyone wants to hear what I be spittin

So different, the image they don't get it

Its simple, im jus a kid who wants to rap to make a livin

But em was in it way before I commited

And his lyrics were the shit, so I really gotta come wit it

But each critic be pickin apart my written, if it isn't up to par

Then asher paul is just a gimmick

Is it my fault, must I be more convincing

Yall talk all you want, never haunt me for my mission

Use it as ammunition,

would u please keep dissin me (all day long)

I hear it (all day long)

And ya the haters wanna hate me

Cuz I made it and im famous

But until you take my place ,

youll never now what it takes

to make a record for respect

take a second to inspect

when you look like some1 else,

then what the fuck do you expect

I just wanna be accepted

As the illest in the game

But its harder for an artist creating his own name

That's synonomous with rhyming,

And Combined with perfect timing

On the time I was left declining

And about to explode, so hold on

CHORUS x2

V3

SO fuck it, that all Ive got

Theres nothing else for me to say

If I don't confront the problem

It will never go away

Unless it is addressed

Theres nothing left for me to do

Its impossible rejecting an elephant in the room

Say good bye to all the bullshit

Notions pre conceded

So long to all the blogs, could swore they knew me

If you have no further questions I cant think of other thoughts

Then id like to introduce you to asher paul roth

Chorus x2
