Pabst and Jazz
Asher Roth Lyrics

Lackadaisical, paps and radio
I am feeling lazy, flipping through radio stations while enjoying some Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.

Playing the latest Johnny Coltrane up on the Casio
The radio is playing the newest jazz tunes, including sounds inspired by Johnny Coltrane, played on a keyboard synthesizer.

Making me make my lady moan
My girlfriend gets aroused by the chill vibes of my jazz and my laid-back attitude.

Smoking strain of OG, roll trees
I am smoking a potent strain of marijuana called OG Kush, rolled up into joints.

Sounds hot when you say you're stoned
It sounds cool when you describe yourself as being high on weed.

Lost and faded though, a Miles Davis flow
I am disoriented and out of it, but still maintain a smooth flow like Miles Davis's jazz music.

Lots of soul, [?] how's he know? I suppose
My jazz music has a lot of soul, which might make someone wonder how I know that. I guess it's just a feeling.

In the cold without a coat, it's so cold, kid is froze
I am out in the cold without a coat, feeling super cold and frozen to the bone.

To the toes, and the more, anything is possible
I am freezing all the way down to my toes, but I still believe that anything is possible.

I'm rocking massimo like I'm a Aussie bro
I am wearing the Italian brand Massimo Dutti as if I were an Australian dude.

Drinking Foster's in the back of Billy Bob's Camaro
I am drinking Foster's beer while chilling in the backseat of Billy Bob's Camaro car.

But ya not so artsy though, this ain't a [?] show
I know I might appear to be artistic and sophisticated, but this party is not a venue for that type of vibe.

Party with the barbies just started up a cardio
I am partying with hot girls, and their energy is making me feel like I'm doing a workout.

Probably go unguarded if I could like I'm [?]
If I could, I would party without any inhibitions like a wild animal.

This is where my heart is to my darling then I'm sorry yo
My true passion is making this type of jazz music, and I apologize to my girlfriend if that is not what she's into.

I'm Marcus Garvey mode, I ain't gon' argue yo
I am channeling the spirit of the black nationalist Marcus Garvey and refuse to argue with anyone.

This one be the hardest like it's starving in the arctic so
This song is what I consider to be my best work, and it came from a place of struggle and hardship.

Stop the [?] the kids who try to box me
I want the haters to stop trying to limit me and put me in a box.

Obviously never stop me on my quest with Asanti
Despite the haters, they have not stopped me from pursuing my goals with my producer Asanti.

We Giovanni, Dolce and Gabbana, Don't you need line up a [?] up on the vinyl thought you needed a reminder
As me and my producer strive to make better music, we are like the famous Italian designers Giovanni and Dolce & Gabbana, and we don't need any outside reminders to stay focused on our craft.

I'm raping the beat through writing, G and letting it be the life of me
I am dominating the musical beat with my powerful and provocative lyrics and giving this passion my all.

Rhyming it nice and climbing the pipes and letting the dope enlighten me
My rhyming ability is both talented and skilled and my drug use is helping me become more enlightened.

I'm hyping G (spaz), right go for the shot for 3, swish
I am getting hyped up (intense and energetic) and playing the game well, getting ready to swish a shot for 3 points.

Buckets, puppets on Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood ain't nice as me
When it comes to shooting basketballs, nobody is better than me, not even the puppets on a kids show like Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood.

Like it B? (Not.) Tough. Blame Rich for throwing me audible crack
If you don't like the way I flow (rhyme), then that's not my problem. Blame my producer Rich for giving me such great material.

I catch lack in the D, suggest you audible that, break chill
When I am performing in Detroit (the D), I catch a lot of haters trying to bring me down. I recommend they change up their game plan and relax a bit (break chill).

You know you a fan my man, you love it in fact
All the people who criticize and hate on me are fans deep down inside and actually love my music.

[?] baby stay in the building, you stuck in the shack, God damn!
My fans (possibly including a hot girl) know to stay inside and enjoy my music, while my haters are stuck in a metaphorical shack due to their ignorance.

Chill [?]
Relax and take it easy.

Never the last remaining [?], loving the real and loving the rap
Although I am still around and making music, I am not the last great rapper standing. I appreciate true hip-hop and enjoy creating it myself.

Never the stacks, honeys be loving the steez, of course I'm loving them back
I am not all about making a ton of money, but the ladies do love my style and I love them back.

You can catch me putting my flag on top of the hill and puffing a black
I will be out here, doing my thing and proudly waving my flag (representing my success) while smoking a black (probably marijuana).

Killing the flows, fa sho, give 'em those and they right
I am absolutely killing the game with my rhyming abilities and my fans love it and know it's right.

In them shows, TZ, be the pros, it's fact
When I am performing on stage with my group or collaborators, we are the best and most professional in the game, no doubt.

So fast, I dash, catch up, and stack
My hustle is always on the move, I am fast and able to catch up and keep stacking success on top of success.

Give them the jazz and the cash, give them that, it's a rap
I am both creative and financially successful, so I can give my fans a mix of jazz-infused music and catchy rap that they will love and be satisfied with.
