Catch Me If You Can
Outasight Feat. Asher Roth Lyrics

Sink slow sips of bourbon, etching out a dream
Taking small sips of bourbon, while working hard to achieve one's dreams

A page out of your notebook, images on a dusted screen
Imagining and creating a vision of the future through creative writing or drawing

And lord knows I’m right in front of you
Although I may seem hidden, I am present and visible to you

Mouth shut but I’m not gonna move
I may be silent, but I am not going to reveal my secrets or intentions

I won’t be here for long but that’s just how shit goes
My time here is limited, but like everyone else, that's just the way life goes

Welcome to the Terrordome
Entering a dangerous and chaotic environment

Devils knocking on my door but I’m never home
Negative influences are trying to bother me, but I am not affected by them

Papa was a rolling stone and he let ‘em go
My father was a wanderer and left things behind, like I am now

So now, you understand why I’m better known
You can see why people know who I am and why I stand out

And any list they made, don’t try to write ‘em off
Don't dismiss or ignore any accomplishments or achievements I have made

Any chick that I played, gonna fight ‘em off
I will defend myself and my actions against anyone who tries to come after me

Love the fireworks, yeah, let’s light ‘em off
I enjoy exciting and loud displays of celebration

My AIM game tight but I’m really signing off
I may appear skilled and confident in my messaging, but I will soon be ending the conversation

[Chorus]
Refrain that repeats throughout the song

And you seen the breaks and you seen the flaws
You have witnessed both the successes and failures in my life

Packed up in Spring, never returned in Fall
I have left before, and won't be returning anytime soon

I’m sorry I can’t help you man
I apologize, but there is nothing I can do for you

For ten months, I’ve been running from under-covers
I have been evading undercover investigators for ten months

I’ve been hunted by the hunter from the Winter to the Summer
Someone has been relentlessly pursuing me for a long time, no matter the season

From slums of underground to the youngest of the brothers
From a disadvantaged and oppressed background to the youngest sibling in my family

I’ve uncovered what they muzzled and tried to keep from public
I have revealed information that was suppressed or hidden from the public

Check it, I hear ‘em coming, couldn’t catch me if they wanted to
I can hear them approaching, but they won't be able to catch me even if they try

They want me under ‘cause they know that I’m the one to prove
They want to silence me because they know I have the proof to back up my claims

That what they do is rob and loot and keep us under rule
They are committing crimes and exploiting us to maintain control over us

And anyone who wonders why want to fall asleep in soup
Anyone who asks why they are doing this must be naive or ignorant

You must have mistaken me, unshaved in face
You have the wrong person, as I have facial hair

Places me with all the other thieves
Assuming I am a criminal, putting me in the same category as other dishonest people

I keep discreet, only peeking up just to breathe
I remain hidden and only appear for short periods of time to avoid detection

Eating when it’s needed, feeding mainly on my freedom
I only eat when necessary, and rely on my freedom as sustenance

See, each heartbeat reminds time is unwinding
Every heartbeat reminds me that time is running out

I could own up all the diamonds but still couldn’t buy it
I could have all the wealth in the world, but it wouldn't give me what I truly desire

So I’ve decided I will use my time wisely
I have made the decision to use my time wisely and for a purpose

Fighting to enlighten, yeah, clashing with the titans
I am fighting to bring about change and confront those in power

Check it, with no fingerprints and no leads
I don't leave any evidence or clues for them to follow

I’m known as any slick, yeah no I.D
I am careful and elusive, with no identification to link me to a specific person

Police be on the scene and I’m motored to believe
The police are on the lookout for me, but I am confident in my ability to avoid them

In only a broken home and piece of debris
I come from a troubled family and am left with only broken possessions

I’m leaving with the breeze just to choose ’em from my people
I am leaving quickly and easily, to pick my own path and associations

All there’s left to check is a note that reads
The only thing left behind is a note with a message

Catch me if you can, catch me if you can
Challenging anyone to try to catch me and stop me

Catch me if you can, catch me if you can motherfucker
Reinforcing the challenge and taunting those who may be trying to catch me
