Dey Know
Asher Roth Lyrics

They know me, this yo I spit like a little kid.
People know me for my rap style, which some might think is immature.

Rap thinks I'm a dirty hippie? icky.
The rap community doesn't understand my style and thinks I'm weird or gross.

Harry potter, don't you try nothing tricky. Muggles befuddled by my? wizardry.
Don't even try to outsmart me, regular people are confused by my unique talents.

Pancake misery of all any beat.
Compared to any other beat, my talent is like the sadness of a pancake.

I am instinctively syncing my energy, with the high heavens.
I feel like I have a spiritual connection to create music that comes from a higher place.

Secretly developing a brand new pedigree, specialty, a better me.
I'm always growing and becoming a better version of myself, and I'm keeping my evolution a secret.

I essentially, must defeat what is left of me? the evil me. May you rest in pieces. Recently deceased,
I must overcome the negative part of my personality, and hope that it dies off completely.

I don't believe in Jesus. Does that mean that I am a DEMON?
Not believing in Jesus doesn't automatically make someone evil.

Couldn't God and Allah have the same meaning giving someone something to believe in?
Religion doesn't have to be divisive or conflict - it can just be something for people to believe in.

I think we need to smoke some WAAYD!
Maybe we should all just relax and smoke some weed to ease our tensions and worries.

And we act (we act) like they know (like they know) But it's clear (it's clear) that they don't (that they don't)
We sometimes pretend like we understand what's going on, but the truth is we don't really get it.

So we bitch (yeah, we bitch) and we moan (and we moan) And won't switch (and won't switch) Till we vote? and pick a new leader for the new year YES WE CAN! Did you hear? That's the new cheer.
Instead of just complaining, we need to take action and vote for a new leader to bring about change.

Twenty-twelve. Did you hear? That's the new fear. So, oh well, roll a blunt, get a new beer.
The year 2012 is a source of anxiety for some people, but the solution is just to relax and enjoy yourself.

Ash be the truth?sorry yo, I?m new here.
I'm new to the game, but I believe that my music is honest and real.

I am so rude-arrrrrogant shoes, hell yeah they be a new pair. (good grief) Hell, oh well, tell me who cares.
I may seem like I have an attitude, but I don't care if people don't like me.

Who dares to play musical chairs with the fair-skinned Farrah Khan of hims?
Who is brave enough to challenge me, the light-skinned and talented Ash Roth?

I am sit-ting, sticking my ?one dick in? writtens. A Maryland terrapin, American lyricist with a pen, they call me a terrorist cuz I can embarrass the top ten.
I'm sitting down and writing my rhymes, and I'm proud to be a talented rapper from Maryland. Some people think I'm a threat because I can outperform the most popular artists.

I guess I am Clark Kent. Ash Roth, uh, add me as a top friend.
I may seem like an ordinary guy, but I have a secret talent that sets me apart. Add me as a friend and you'll see what I can do.
