(feat. Slick Rick)
"You are not someone else, someone else is someone else

You are you, it is you, you are you"



[Slick Rick]

Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam

Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam "You are you"

Slick Rick and Asher is on this jam

"It is you, you are you, you are you"



[Chorus: Asher Roth & Slick Rick]

There's nothing, that you can do about it

The one thing that I've figured out is "you are you"

Forget it, there's no way around it

"It is you, you are you, you are you"



[Asher Roth]

No matter what I do to try and fit in

There's nothing I can do about this body I was given

I'm blond and I am skinny, with my mom's ? skin

The Scotter side, and my father schnoz to go with it

Nice nose, my hair, yeah I can try and dye it

And contacts could change the color of my eyes but "you are you"

That would only mean that I am lying

And openly denying it's not who, who I am

I try to be too big for my britches

And couldn't, regardless of my Skee-Lo wishes

A couple more inches and I would be in business

But still I'm waking up 5'10 every Christmas "you are you"

My fingerprints is what makes me different

It took a little bit, but I can finally admit it

This is my appearance, this is my face

Looking in the mirror there is nothing I can change

Might be a little strange, the way you can see my veins

But if we were the same, the world would be plain vain

It would be lame, you would never learn a thing

So go against the grain, and let these people know your name "you are you"



[Chorus 2X]



[Slick Rick]

Dog kiss culprits, all getting a girl

Due to hip hop invisible pulping off the wall

Nothing to play with, skipping all the way with

It conveying who we all are, how we all fit in this mosaic

Portrait, thesis of a brother

Homosexual being last pieces of the puzzle

All religion who read divine pine verse

Could God once pray, folks get their mind right first

Then weed out, legitimate seed crop

? with ? feed like intrigue why

And politics, harvest the chatter

Dissect good from garbage that'll matter "you are you"

Now I doubt you, but allowed to

What amounts to, that's just what adults do

Keeping with the pace of barbarian

Keeping goldy jewels in the face of American "you are you"



[Chorus 2X]



[Asher Roth]

Besides, it's all about your mind

Your will and your drive, and what's going on inside

The size of your heart is what sets you apart

If you aren't using it, I suggest that you start "you are you"

Think hard, take a walk around the block "you are you"

It's cool if you're a nerd, or a jock

Or a prep, or a goth, nobody gives a fuck

There's nothing you can do, just stop, just stop, man

Mad props since I linked up with Knotts

Still never wear socks, always in flip flops

No chain or a watch, I be slinging no rocks

But my slang be the thang that be saving hip hop (he's good)

Screw the box, go outside the lines

Just be you, stop with the trying

And in due time, it is true you will find

There is nothing to remember if you never ever lie "you are you"



[Chorus 2X]
