Asher Roth
Sour Patch Kids
[Intro]
Yeah, uhh, yeah!
[Verse 1]
Use the eyes of the owl, there's a fowl batch
The sour patch kids got me out of wack
And out of gas, the hourglass
Spills as I'm left on the vast sea without a vest
Lost my train of thought, my brain cannot be bought
Trained to train and co-operate with authorit-ay
No way Jose the Che in May
Revolutionary - to the leaders I'm scary
I pose a threat to those who get too close for comfort, and won't conform
Come forward, sworn on my unborn son
If there's one more war I will come for
The poor get poor, the rich just get richer
Get the jist, you see the big picture?
China's ditched from a shake on the Richter
Mother Earth shrugs and we all get evicted
This some sick shit, slightly twisted
Information from our nation's capital
Capitol is all the captain calls for
They just want more (and more)
And more (and more) and more (and more?)
And more (and more) and more (and more!)
[Chorus]
I don't hear you
Take me away
Take me away from here
Take me away from evil
I don't hear you
[Post-Chorus]
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up? Can you turn it up?
(Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
My people crying and be dying, they be dining in the islands
Drinking wine with they wives like everything is fine
Denying that they fighting for the lives every night
To survive since the beginning of time
I-yi-yi, can't believe the evil that feeds
Off this so-called American dream
Lies and deceit make all the Americans seem
Like blood-suckin money hungry fiends
But money doesn't mean a damn thing to me
I just want to be, I want to be free
But unfortunately a fortune is what you need
'Cause the Fortune 500's run the country
It's one company if you're not in company
Would you mind grabbin' me a cup of tea? (Thanks)
If we go hung-r-y in our own country
I wonder what it's like, living in Hungary
Yeah it isn't funny but it's coming, it's about to get ugly
Streets turn to a game of rugby (Y'all don't hear me though)
[Chorus]
Take me away
Take me away from here
Take me away from evil
I don't hear you
[Post-Chorus]
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up just a little bit?
Can you turn it up? Can you turn it up?
(Yeah!)
[Verse 3]
We're buying bubbly and make it rain hundreds
Is it just me or is that some dumb shit?
Yo what the fuck, ho comes, little dumb shit
Let's go I know you can think of something
Donate your dollars, raise a toddler, help a mother, save a father
'Cause poverty is probably our biggest problem
And it ain't gon' stop with Obama (Nah)
To save the world we must start at the bottom (Got it)
Bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom
Bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom
[Outro Chorus]
Take me away
Take me away from here
Take me away from evil
I don't hear you
I don't hear you
I don't hear you
I don't hear you
I don't hear you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't hear you
I don't hear you, I don't hear you
I don't hear you, I don't hear you
I don't hear you, I don't hear you
