Lovers & Mountains (R. Leslie)

INTRO
I’ma show you how I get there
I’ma show you how I work that out
No doubt, yeah
You’re attracted to the danger
I embrace you like a stranger would
And it’s so good

VERSE 1
My chain swinging
I think it’s time you find a new man
If I can’t do it for you, baby – then who can?
You got couple ex-boyfriends, all they did was talk a lot
I got a couple fast cars in the parking lot
And if you like – I’ll take you out for a spin
Ain’t no “I” in team but guarantee that it’s an “I” in win
I’m winning like every day, stuntin’ in every way
They ain’t talkin’ that money send them on they merry way
*LES*
You know the fresh – the Jays, the nice jeans,
The gold rollie, a black tank, couple nice rings
But you could strip me of every piece of jewelry
and I’m still a gem
Black bonded leather – the latest from Phillip Lim
Style so elevated
In a class of my own and still celebrated
You need a change of scenery – a new approach
Let me help you forget that you ever flew in coach

HOOK
Lovers & mountains fall (they fall)
Lovers & mountains fall
Through time (we don’t own the time)
Through time (said it’s not yours or mine – but we still fall)
Lovers & mountains fall (we fall for each other)
Lovers & mountains fall
Through time (through time)
Baby through time

Asher Roth – The Reading (Video)

This is a new video for a pretty old song. I’m not complaining, though. Lyrics below:

LYRICS:
I’m a blood suckin, drug puffin’ thug frontin’, love muffin’
Why ma’am that’s quite nice, yeah sure I’d love muffins
Warm from the oven covered honey oat and butter nut
Bake about 100 cause I’m coming with my buddies (what up)
We don’t mean to butt in, but there’s nothing better coming up
Pack it in forget it ya strap on in, buckle up
Nothing but the truth, I’m telling you the truth
Hip-hop is still alive, and I am living proof
And in order to improve we must kill it at the root
Shooting for the knees not until you see these pupils
Youthful of useful youthful exuberance
Music refutes that abuses the rules
And of freedom of speech well freedom to speak
Let’s see that as free time build em and teach
Yeah read it and weep cause reading increases your knowledge and ideas dealing in the street
While college is fine, and the library’s vital god is the bomb, and LeVar is my idol
Crime story, mind story, autobiography, short story, long story, novel, or comedy
Non-fiction rythme spittin nonsense now not an option squashed it (squashed) stop it (stop)
The not has been noddin’ they noddin’ they noggins, and now the real start of the truth
So move with the movement, movement of humans
Using the tools we were born with
Or you can forfeit your fortunes to the less fortunate
Unfortunately the poor kids are forced to form they thoughts on things formally taught to them it seems to be the least important part to think and dream believing things could never get any better than this
So rejecting intellect neglecting interest the internet becomes a nest of sex
Best described as extra time to emphasize what mom and papa tried to hide
Eject the desktop inject the Xbox
And let’s not stop there watch this head-shot and watch they head pop open and then drop to the floor keep going cause nobody said stop
Our only hope is the music they listening to influencing they intution ability to
Recognize between right and wrong it’s either hit or miss no intermission and intermission is on
A light goes on an idea to volunteer my time, my mind, my rythme defines the finer things in life decide to write a positive vibe acknowledging the might of the rhyme
I am ash-er-roth
