Asher Roth - All Add Up lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 su*ked 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..." [Chorus] 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... [Verse 2] 'Cause the truth was I didn't give two fu*ks 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 [Chorus] 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... [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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...
