Pearly Gates

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo

We was talking the other day

We realized that dumb rappers need teaching

So this year we gon' let [?]

Introducing the new institution

The Cannon

[Verse 1: Asher Roth]

Yo, they thought I made a million dollars off "I Love College"

Got a model for a bride and then retire to Bahamas

I probably should've, my goodness, no idea what I have put up with

Bunch of lame excuses from the suits up in the music biz

Listen to what Q-Tip said, "game it be the shadiest"

Keepers at the gate, what it take for you to play my shit?

I've been super patient, watching dudes get in my lane

But let's be honest for a second, we all know we're not the same

And I know just what you think, this wonder is one hit

It's a product or a baraka I promise it's not it

No verse that I ain't rip with words that you can't script

We all know who did it first, it just hurts you to admit

I've been shitted on, spit up on, dissed and forgotten

Rick Ross can be a cop, Drake started from the bottom

No offense, I don't want to start a problem but come on

All I ever did was tell you I was champ in beer pong

I don't want to live forever but sure hope it lasts long

Never underestimate the power of a rap song

Never following a fad, I create a platform

Have a son and leave him something, hopeful he can pass on like

[Hook]

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?

[Verse 2]

Keep my foot up on the gas, now I'm never going back off

Now they're saying, "Ash, yo that mother fuckers back dog"

Sure, had it in my palm but I had to let it go

Some may say I'm wrong, but it's the only way that I could grow

Most don't understand this entire thing is out control

No matter how it's going down, always have to let them know

Kids eat your vegetables, stretch, wear your SPF

Give 110%, work until it's nothing left

I refuse, but I confess

Wanted me to keep them dumb

Get them stoned, get them drunk

I'm supposed to let them dunk?

Nah fuck that, man I'm jumping up to stuff that

Even if that means I'm getting stuck with just a bus pass

Bucks keep the money, I love the feeling of hungry

101 and running from the city it's always sunny

I'm cunning and funny, something you can never take from me

I know you feel it coming, mummy didn't raise a dummy

Love me, hate me, call me crazy, no matter what they rate me

Or how serious they take me, what the labels try to make me

Man I know that I'm amazing, I'll prove it just you wait

And I'll never have a problem when I reach the pearly gates like

[Hook]

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?

We're here to stay and never ever going away, right?
