ASL is a group of friends who make music for those who are drunk on alcohol, poetry, or virtue, as you wish. Every album is made in 72 hours or less and remains unchanged from the time it is created until the time it is released. The band travels around the world in its spaceship and writes about love, turtles, tires, and everything else they encounter along the way. ASL had record deals — didn’t want them! ASL has had publicists and managers — fired them! It’s not about the fame. It’s not about the money…it’s about the “MONEY.” It’s about putting tequila and whiskey in your coffee and staying up all night with your best friends. Tradition. Loyalty. Jams.

That shit gets my dick hard

I can make you elevate
I could be your left hand
Everything you want to be
I'll make you a better man
When you know, you know, you know
I want to watch you, watch you grow (That shit gets my dick hard)

She talks back when I been talking shit
And she tells me I don't got speak like this
But, she says it's nothing that we can't fix
Plus, she shows me all the ways she's different
She's more than everything that I could wish
Got a jet and she said come with
Baby- and it ain't even a birthday gift
The only one I'll never ding dong ditch

I swear I want ya
Know sometimes I get a little selfish, but I still want ya, want ya
And I need ya
I know no one could ever love me better that's why I need ya, need ya
(That shit gets my dick hard)

I can make you elevate
I could be your left hand
Everything you want to be
I'll make you a better man
When you know, you know, you know
I want to watch you, watch you grow (That shit gets my dick hard)

I will be royalty undercover
Got it from my great, great grandmother
Always talking 'bout her like a, like a stutter
Used to pull up late, used to hit and run
I would never, never, never wear a rubber
One day, I'm gonna make the girl a baby mama
She don't even need me and that's why I love her
And that shit gets my dick hard

I swear I want ya
Know sometimes I get a little selfish, but I still want ya, want ya
And I need ya
I know no one could ever love me better that's why I need ya, need ya

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)

And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping
Pour that whisky and tequila in the coffee
And the sun is coming up, but we ain't stopping

Nah-nah-no, nah-nah-no, nah- nah- no,
Nah-nah-no (that shit gets my dick hard)
