Intro: Asheru
Cheers to you, raise your glass up, this one's for you
Verse 1: Asheru
Imagine having a voice that you can't use
Or the thoughts you could've caught if your mind didn't lose
Imagine having understanding of something so clear
That words doin no justice when you put it in the air
Imagine the pain that is felt
When it seems like life is dealt the wrong hand to the wrong man
Or plans never go through like the way you want em
Fears, come to you before you can even confront em
It's so overwhelming you think, you feel so out of sync
And can't find the right reason to live
They say patience is a virtue, but time I must remind
Make sure you always in the right place, the right time
Like rhymes is an exercise, flows just flow through me
Like trees and branches, cliffs to avalanches
Big man on campus, peep like a king and marathon
A living hip hop phenomenon
Hook: Asheru
Cheers to every promoter I ever knew
That flew me back and forth to every venue
To every in store, and magazine, interview better gig and rap review
It was all for you
I say cheers the beat still stands
And still go out and tour and still be in demand
And handle this talent the most, coast to coast, shore to shore
And I do it to death for you and yours
Cheers to every fan I ever met
That gave words of encouragement I'll never forget
If I ever got stuck, I'll pull my book out
Keep the hook up cuz somebody looked out
To every cookout and holding the wall
Bearing love, I perform for the love on this little dove
And handle this talent the most, coast to coast, shore to shore
And I do it to death for you and yours
Cheers
Verse 2: Asheru
Yo, you wanna know what makes an emcee tick?
What make him wanna spend all of his time designing rhymes?
Some say it's in your enzymes, you born with it
Put some swag in your bag and get on with it
Tax this form fitted, cats get long winded
When raps is average, they sound so bored with it
Then I come on with a parallel charm, to disarm your fake calm
And burn like napalm but stay strong
All day long, that's the code of the swordsmen
It's in our DNA code boosting in our endorphins
Anything less will be deemed as unsportsmanlike
Conduct through the mic about towards men
Part of a rare breeding comes with this recording
No monkey on my back, I spit my flows according to how I feel
Don't chase the big money cause a mile or a feet, matter of fact it's on my heels
Bridge: Asheru
US, Canada, Tokyo, Japan
Switzerland, Sweden, Paris, Amsterdam
Germany, Finland, the whole UK
Got fam rockin from synagogues in Norway
All day (all day), all night (all night), cheers to you (cheers to you), that's right (that's right)
All day (all day), all night (all night), raise your glass, that's right
C'mon, US, Canada, Tokyo, Japan
Switzerland, Sweden, Paris, Amsterdam
Germany, Finland, the whole UK
Got fam rockin from synagogues in Norway
All day (all day), all night (all night), cheers to you (cheers to you), that's right (that's right)
All day (all day), all night (all night), raise your glass, that's right
Cheers
Verse 3: Asheru
I done been a lot of places, seen a lot of things
Paid four in full by the songs that I sing
Drink wine in Paris by the Shonzelize
Rock the skybox and watch the Blue Jays and Phillies play
If there's a will there's a way, found mine so get yours
Don't pay an arm and a land, just do a leg of a tour
To this irregular chore demand upon global
Never in the office cause my office gone mobile
My flows are all total, shattered by my greatness
This is a revelation to me so pardon my lateness
You are bearing witness to power unfolding
Different from your average mics and microphone
And not quite break ya, DJing and graffiti
Miss Tummy's baby boy, I liberate the heat
And when the history is told, in the kings through the log
It'll say that I gave more to this culture than just song
Hook: Asheru
Cheers to every promoter I ever knew
That flew me back and forth to every venue
To every in store, and magazine, interview better gig and rap review
It was all for you
I say cheers the beat still stands
And still go out and tour and still be in demand
And handle this talent the most, coast to coast, shore to shore
And I do it to death for you and yours
Cheers to every fan I ever met
That gave words of encouragement I'll never forget
If I ever got stuck, I'll pull my book out
Keep the hook up cuz somebody looked out
To every cookout and holding the wall
Bearing love, I perform for the love and this little dove
And handle this talent the most, coast to coast, shore to shore
And I do it to death for you and yours
