Lyrics for Song: Dope Shit
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Asher Roth
What up world? Finally here
Let me roll you 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 want that dope sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well I'm here
They say they want that dope sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well alright, but they want something more commercial
Well alright
Now 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 sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well I'm here
You know the bright stars, lovely chicks
Party scenes, all the fancy sh*t
The street talk and some politics
Are you in touch (with) what's happening?
Alright
We gotta call you Mr Dope Sh*t
Alright
Well alright, okay
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 but 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 of sin
Common sense, not science of rocket ship
That's why I dream, step to a new consciousness
In my dream slept with the new concept and
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 our 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 sh*t
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 sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well I'm here
They say they want that dope sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well alright, but they want something more commercial
Well alright
Now 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 sh*t, dope sh*t dope sh*t
Well I'm here
You know the bright stars, lovely chicks
Party scenes, all the fancy sh*t
The street talk and some politics
Are you in touch (with) what's happening?
Alright
We gotta call you Mr Dope Sh*t
Alright
Well alright, okay
