[00:14.98]
[00:17.41]Take me as I em my friends, 
[00:20.45]ain't gon' change, won't be no Em, 
[00:23.59]rock these songs, rock these shows, 
[00:26.75]only good life I know
[00:28.70]
[00:29.17]I was in seventh grade when I heard the Slim Shady LP,
[00:32.80]ya my mom brought it down when I was ironing, irony,
[00:36.13]getting out the wrinkles, just a little kid in middle school,
[00:39.33]sink my teeth in anything just to think I'm cool, riding the bus,
[00:42.90]I feel the rush but I still don't give a fuck,
[00:45.42]ya I wish I could agree but I've already had enough,
[00:48.45]I've already given up from playing the same game,
[00:51.61]every interview I feel like I'm saying the same thing, like,
[00:55.18]Em was great, yea he paved the way for me,
[00:58.04]he was inspiration for everybody from A to Z,
[01:00.91]but they keep relating me, I can't get away,
[01:03.65]chasing me, (all day long), I hear it, (all day long),
[01:07.06]and now the masters thinks that asher wants to be a marshall mathers,
[01:10.64]they say "ashers not a rapper, na hes actually just a actor",
[01:13.43]cuz we have the same complexion and similar voice inflection,
[01:16.32]it's easy to see the pieces and reach for that connection,
[01:20.62]every minute, each hour of everyday,
[01:22.89]I'm constantly on the fence defending my own name,
[01:26.18]explaining we are not the same,
[01:27.70]not much that I can say, except that I'm sick of it,
[01:30.77]critics arrantly sparked up a flame, it's on
[01:32.05]
[01:32.73]Take me as I em my friends, 
[01:35.49]ain't gon' change, won't be no Em, 
[01:38.70]rock these songs, rock these shows, 
[01:41.85]only good life I know... (AY!) (AY!)
[01:45.08]
[01:45.37]Take me as I em my friends, 
[01:47.92]ain't gon' change, won't be no Em, 
[01:51.17]rock these songs, rock these shows, 
[01:54.34]only good life I know... (AY!) (AY!)
[01:56.77]
[01:57.50]now don't get it twisted, I've definatley benefitted,
[01:59.80]it's like suddenly everyone wants to hear what I've been spittin,
[02:04.44]it's so different, the image they don't get it,
[02:06.73]it's simple I'm just a kid who wants to rap to make a livin,
[02:10.38]but Em was in it way before I committed ,
[02:12.99]and his lyrics were the shit so I really gotta come with it,
[02:16.37]but each critics been pickin apart my writins,
[02:19.31]and if it's not up to par then ashers par is just a gimmick,
[02:22.60]is it my fault must I be more convincing?,
[02:25.61]ya'll talk all you want, never halt me from my mission,
[02:28.81]using his ammunition, would you please keep dissin me,
[02:31.99](all day long), I hear it, (all day long),
[02:34.68]and yea the haters wanna hate because I made it and I'm famous,
[02:37.95]but until you take my place, 
[02:39.49]ya'll never know what it takes to make a record for respect, 
[02:42.73]take a second before you inspect,
[02:44.52]when you look like someone else then what the fuck do you expect,
[02:47.44]I just want to be accepted as the illest in the game,
[02:50.57]but it's harder for an artist creating his own lane,
[02:53.65]that's anonymous with his rhyming and combine with perfect timing,
[02:56.71]all the time all that's declining and about to explode
[02:59.24]
[02:59.81]Take me as I em my friends, 
[03:02.93]ain't gon' change, won't be no Em, 
[03:06.24]rock these songs, rock these shows, 
[03:09.49]only good life I know... (AY!) (AY!)
[03:11.88]
[03:12.71]Take me as I em my friends, 
[03:15.59]ain't gon' change, won't be no Em, 
[03:18.76]rock these songs, rock these shows, 
[03:21.86]only good life I know... (AY!) (AY!)
[03:24.53]
[03:24.92]so fuck it that's all I got, theres nothing else for me to say,
[03:28.17]if I don't confront the problem it will never go away,
[03:31.33]unless it is addressed there is nothing left for me to do,
[03:34.35]its impossible rejecting an elephant in the room,
[03:37.40]say goodbye to all the bullshit, notions preconceived
[03:40.72]sworn to all the wrongs, coulda swore they knew me,
[03:43.71]if you have no further questions and can't think of other thoughts,
[03:46.92]then let me introduce you to asher paul roth.
