All Add Up - Asher Roth

I thought we was done, for real, it was over with

The setting of the sun, maybe I’m too old for this

Recording, touring, shows, photographs are showing it

Game has sucked my soul, might be time to abort the miss'

Um, nah, granted I’ve been fortunate

Been around, been up and down like sort of some contortionist

Of course if when you start it, it’s important that you finish it

Times cathartic, as an artist it gets interesting

Hard to not doubt everything you thought about

Might never pan out the way you thought it might

So I saw a mic and I was like «Well, might be down tomorrow night

But for now I’d rather drown my sorrows and be somber like…»

Everything in your past, no, it don’t matter

You’s a professional, not some old rapper

Got a code, gotta live by the

Let it go, gotta grow

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that it…

'Cause the truth was I didn’t give two fucks

The groupies, the crew love, or trying to get new buzz

The interviews, the «Who's?

What’s cool?

We should do something»

Envious of everyone who’s racking up a number one

Dumb, rapping for the accolades

Don’t you know that passion isn’t stacking up the memories

The XXL, you was on the front page

The MSG, you was on that summer stage

That was dope, all the European shows

Doing front flips with Mac in Norway with Steve Aoki

Mos Def with Magic, playing Magic and Madden, man

These become the moments and the only thing that matters

Man, you know this

Everything in your past, no, it don’t matter

You’s a professional, not some old rapper

Got a code, gotta live by the

Let it go, gotta grow

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that it…

Stay focused, I know that it’s a challenge

But if you can reap your talent and then try to keep a balance

Or maybe you can galvanize the youth out of their silence

And they can be like you and sing a tune on Jimmy Fallon

There’s value in everything you say and what you do

So if you wasn’t you, would you wanna hang with you?

Do you speak the truth?

Give respect when it’s due?

Showing love to all the elder ones who became before you?

My position in this thing, that’s a given

I try to make a living while keeping the children driven

Choosing your direction in each and every decision

Start thinking about who you is, forget about who you isn’t man

Everything in your past, no, it don’t matter

You’s a professional, not some old rapper

Got a code, gotta live by the

Let it go, gotta grow

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that it all add up?

Don’t you know that…
