Testo The Lounge - Asher Roth
Testo della canzone The Lounge (Asher Roth), tratta dall'album Asleep In The Bread Aisle
Johnny get on the piano, let's do this
30 Years in the business
I want to welcome everybody to the Lounge
You've heard of Rapper's Delight? Well I'm delightful
I got my buddy Asher Roth with me
Straight out of the Philadelphia, PA
Here's a little 'Ham and Eggs' coming right at you
Yo, I got a question (What's that?)
What's a rapper look like?
Is he tan? Is he black, white?
Is he blacked out, high on the crack pipe?
Or more the cast that'll ride on a half-pipe?
Don't want to act like I know about the rap type
Cause matter of fact, I can't grasp who rap likes
With the cash, do they stash for retirement?
Or go for finer things like rides and diamonds?
And another question (What's that?)
How do they dress, in their best cut threads or they spend less?
I'm interested, it's caught my attention
Yo, does everybody rap get arrested?
And with their sex, do they all have hoes?
Or do some have a girl that they learn and they grow with?
I'd like to know, what makes a rapper?
It might be me, but I don't think it matters
What's he look like?
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
He's just a rapper (He's just a rapper, a rapper)
In plain clothes (Plain clothes)
And when the curtain falls, after the show (After the show)
Where does he go? (Where does he go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
Now it's your call, short, fat, or tall
What if he's a she, and not a he at all?
Or does a bra have to be a C at least?
Or can it be decreased if she real up on the beat?
And is she realer if she raised in the street?
Or can they still feel her if she raised in CT?
And if they spit, do they have to have kids?
Or can they have a mom, a dad and little sis?
And in the morning do they have to have grits?
Or can their favorite breakfast be eggs Benedict?
It makes me think, is there a rapping type?
And if so, yo, what's a rapper like?
And do they sell drugs or go to school?
Cocaine or college, tell me what's the rule
I'd like to know, what makes a rapper?
It might be me, but I don't think it matters
What's he look like?
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
He's just a rapper (A rapper)
In plain clothes (Plain clothes)
And when the curtain falls, after the show (After the show)
Where does he go? (Where does he go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
My name's Asher (Hi Asher)
And those who care to ask, I tell them I'm a rapper (A rapper)
But I don't look like it, not one bit
I'm short and thin with some pale-ass skin (That's right)
Got one girlfriend and I love her
With two sisters, a father and a mother
I guess I'm different, like no other
But you can't judge a book by its cover
I write about what I feel, see, live
My boys like to say I'm the realest it gets
Sometimes I feel like more Stan Getz
Maybe flip the script on some ROY G BIV
Whatever the mood, no matter what I listen to
I always do me, never do you
I'd like to know, what makes a rapper?
It might be me, but I don't think it matters
What's he look like?
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
He's just a rapper (A rapper)
In plain clothes (Plain clothes)
And when the curtain falls, after the show (After the show)
Where does he go? (Where does he go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
Oh yeah, once again this is Pete Rockwell, Asher Roth
The Leopard Lounge everyone, in the back room
Gets a little pep in your step
As the homies say, this thing is jamming
Pour me another scotch, Margo
I'm just loving this right now
30 Years in the business, still banging out the hits
This is Pete Rockwell, baby
Asher Roth, signing off
