Cher in Chernobyl
[Intro: Asher Roth]
Yeah
[Verse 1: Asher Roth]
Cher in Chernobyl, pairable terrible current events
I've had to learn to repent, I've had to learn to relent
To relearn how to vent, sent is certainly concernin'
Gotta learn to ascend, dependin' on your possessions
Might be heavy to mend, when offended by everything
I think there's too many men, I think there's too many Gen X
Baby boom millennials, fentanyl’s a killer
Plant perennials, planet disadvantage ever since the bicentennial
Can't even try defendin' y'all, lucky I got many more
Raps for your wave cap, snap backs and strange hats
Kickin' straight facts since Kanye had A-Trak
Not even in my apex, I ain't even age yet
Ain't even complain, I just happen to be laid back
Possibly I'm colder, it happens when your older
I feel it in my lower back, hips, knees and shoulders
Back when Kurt Loder was tellin' us what was comin'
When music was makin' money and rappers was sayin' doney
Rappers gettin' funny, feels like a mixed message
All of these executives gear it to adolescence
I guess that is the essence but, let's just not forget that
That the best shit is usually undetected, sex is unprotected
[Chorus: lojiii]
You know it's funny when you try to keep a positive vibe but
Life seems to fuck you everytime and you’re just waitin' on the sign
When you're the farthest thing from home
You put the cher in Chernobyl
Go give it to me
[Verse 2: lojii]
Another day, I'm wakin' up and goin' through it
Tryna keep the ups and downs all fluid
Another day I wake up on it and reminisce
How a life time of hopes and dreams turned into this
Another day where every moment's a vignette
And the backdrops flow with beautiful syntax
That all catalogin' my color index
And when I have a moment to reflect I paint the image
Lost in soundtracks that I select like
Naughty list of smith silhouettes or Alice Coltrane
Life in perspective, mutin' out objections
Findin' my objective, that all I really need is friendships or
Mutual attentions, people by the tension, talk about prevention
Of violence in communities, the news forget to mention
But we livin' everyday at least until we gettin' gentrified
[Chorus: lojiii]
You know it's funny when you try to keep a positive vibe but
Life seems to fuck you everytime and you’re just waitin' on the sign
When you're the farthest thing from home
You put the cher in Chernobyl
Go give it to me
