7L & Esoteric - Herb lyrics

[Esoteric talking] This some quick sh**, check You're a herb, ain't nuttin', it's like this (You better ask somebody) [Verse 1: Esoteric] You're a herb, if you say you dig all the time But can't find a sample from beats to the rhyme A herb, if you claim your raps is official But everything you sample is a f**ing re-issue You're a herb, saying that you rhyme of the mind But your hype man's backing up every line If you're in a fight but don't really wanna scrap But act like you want it when the bouncer hold you back You're a herb, if you tip strippers with a dollar Those who grab the coke and then call yourself a baller A herb, if you just now saying holla If you meet a girl but are too shook to call her If you act cool but keep your girl on a leash If you're still talking 'bout the Jay-Nas beef You're a herb, if you saw episode one But never saw the trilogy, I just begun You're a herb [Hook] (You better ask somebody) (You're herb) [Verse 2: Esoteric] You're a herb, if you got a flag on your truck But before last September you never gave a f** A herb, if you put your faith in the churches If you call yourself Bin Laden in your verses A herb, actually, better yet a joke If you glorify suicide and doing lines of coke If you traded in your comic books and stamps For an Avirex and some Southpole pants You're a herb, if you live next to Forrest Gump But go to school tying your bandana in the front (You're herb), if you got sk**s but dress like a nerd Just cause you can rap doesn't mean you ain't a herb Herb, you're a herb if you claim fame But hype yourself online with a fake screen name Act violent and claim to hold things Rapping like a thug and walk around in toe rings You're a herb [Hook] (You better ask somebody) Bust it, right before I'm out, yo (You're herb) [Verse 3: Esoteric] You're a herb, if your man buys you a Beck's And you're too stingy to buy him the next But you'll buy a drink for the opposite s** The type of guy that snatch whole albums of the neck You're a herb, if you're falling for the Puma fads Cause they got a pair of turntables in their ads A herb, if you never pay for a date A big herb if you never reciprocate If you gotta leave the room or change up your tone When you talkin' to your girl on your cell phone A herb, if you steal out the tip cup If you wear your hat with the visor flipped up You're a herb, if you like this but don't own this If you think it's funny when you're f**ing with the homeless If you tuck your sweatshirt in your jeans If you diss the Guru because he left the Bean You're a herb [Hook] Motherf**er, yeah (You better ask somebody) Take offence, word up (You're herb) 7L on the track Esoteric with the rap, herb rappers fall back (You're herb) Yeah, (?) (You're herb)
