Asher Roth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Matta fact I just figured out my outfit, Don't doubt that
Got a clue what I'm doing but I'm sure not a shoe in I could ruin it by being untrue to it
Untrue to me excuse my truancy
While sex sells and I excel in nudity
The influence of jewelery ain't cool to me,
Search the globe for something that's more new to me
But buffoonery is usually my duty,
But the fruit in me is sweeter than the ghoul in me,
So only stupid me would ruin this here opportunity
So tune in and listen to my fluency
The way I do it you would think that there was two of me,
More like ten of me
I have a tendency as Edison, inventive with a pen and a sentence
That's what I'm talking bout boy
And you know I'm getting filthier like each week I've been down here
Every verse has been a little more lethal
Not to mention my quick comprehension
That led to success and tremendous progression
Self expression is all that I know, my direction is all on my own
I direct it, produce it, edit, so no excuse if I lose cant regret it
But I wont let it get to ever be an incorrect
My skills are set to represent the flows who feel they haven't been
