Asher Roth - As I Em lyrics

(Chester French) Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know (Asher Roth) I was in seventh grade when I heard The Slim Shady LP Yeah, my mom brought it down when I was ironing; irony Getting out the wrinkles, just a little kid in middle school, Sink my teeth in anything to think I'm cool, riding the bus I feel the rush from I "Still Don't Give A f**" Yeah, I wish I could agree but I've already had enough I've already given up from playing the same game Every interview I feel like I'm saying the same thing, like Em was great, yeah, he paved the way for me He was inspiration for everybody from A to Z But they keep relating me, I can't get away Chasing me (all day long) I hear it (all day long) And now the masters thinks that Asher wants to be a Marshall Mathers They say, "Asher's not a rapper, nah, he's actually just a actor" 'Cause we have the same complexion and similar voice inflection It's easy to see the pieces and reach for that connection Each second, every minute, each hour of everyday I'm constantly on the fence defending my own name Explaining we are not the same Not much that I can say, except I'm sick of it, Critics arrantly sparked up a flame, it's on (Chester French) Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know (Asher Roth) Now don't get it twisted, I've definitely benefitted It's like suddenly everyone wants to hear what I be spitting It's so different, the image they don't get it It's simple I'm just a kid who wants to rap to make a living But Em was in it way before I committed And his lyrics were the sh** so I really got to come with it But each critic been picking apart my writtens And if it's not up to par then Asher's Paul is just a gimmick Is it my fault must I be more convincing? Ya'll talk all you want, never halt me from my mission Using his ammunition, would you please keep dissing me? (All day long) I hear it (all day long) And yeah, the haters want to hate because I made it and I'm famous But until you take my place you'll never know 'bout what it takes to make a record for respect, take a second to inspect When you look like someone else then what the f** do you expect? I just want to be accepted as the illest in the game But it's harder for an artist creating his own lane That's synonymous with his rhyming and combine with perfect timing All the time all that's declining and about to explode (Chester French) Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know (Asher Roth) Yeah, yeah So f** it that's all I got, there's nothing else for me to say If I don't confront the problem it will never go away Unless it is addressed there is nothing left for me to do It's impossible rejecting an elephant in the room Say goodbye to all the bullsh**, notions preconceived So long to all the blogs, could have swore they knew me If you have no further questions and can't think of other thoughts Then let me introduce you to Asher Paul Roth... gone (Chester French) Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know Take me as I am my friends, ain't going to change Won't be no Em, rock these songs Rock these shows, only good life I know Yeah, yeah
