As I Em (feat. Chester French)

Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know I was in seventh grade when I heard the Slim Shady LP Yeah, my mom brought it down when I was ironin', irony Gettin' out the wrinkles, just a little kid in middle school Sink my teeth in anythin' to think I'm cool, ridin' the bus I feel the rush from, I still don't give a fuck Yeah, I wish I could agree but I've already had enough I've already given up from playin' the same game Every interview, feel like I'm sayin' 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 relatin' me, I can' get away, chasin' me All day long, I hear it, all day long And now the masters think that Asher wants to be a Marshall Mather's They say Asher's not a rapper, na his ass is just an actor 'Cause we have the same complexion and similar voice inflection It's easy to see the pieces and the reach for that connection Each second of every minute, each hour of everyday I'm constantly on defense defendin' my own name Explainin' we're not the same Not much that I can say, except I'm sick of it Critics out only sparked up a flame, it's on Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know Now don't get it twisted, I've definitely benefited It's like suddenly everyone wants to hear what I've been spittin' 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 livin' But Em was in it way before I committed And his lyrics were the shit, so I really gotta come with it But each critics be pickin' apart my writings If it isn't up to par then Asher's Paul is just a gimmick Is it my fault, must I be more convincin'? Y'all talk all you want, never halt me from my mission Use it as ammunition, would you please keep dissin' me? All day long, I hear it, all day long And yeah, the haters wanna 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 fuck do you expect? I just want to be accepted as the illest in the game But it's harder for an artist creatin' his own lane That's anonymous with rhymin' and combine with perfect timin' On the time that's now declinin' and about to explode, so hold on Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know So fuck it that's all I got, there's nothin' else for me to say If I don't confront the problem, it will never go away Unless it is addressed there's nothin' left for me to do It's impossible rejectin' an elephant in the room Say goodbye to all the bullshit, notions preconceived So long to all the blogs who coulda swore they knew me If you have no further questions and can't think of other thoughts Then I'd like toduce you to Asher Paul Roth Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know Take me as I am my friends Ain't gon' change, won't be no end Write these songs, rock these shows Only good life I know
