7L & Esoteric - Herb lyrics

[Talking]

This some quick shit, check

You're a herb and uh, it's like this

("Ya better ask somebody")

[Verse 1]

You're a herb, if you say you dig all the time

but can't find a sample from beats to the rhyme

A herb, if you claim your raps is official

But everything you sample is a fuckin' re-issue

You're a herb, sayin' that you rhyme of the mind

But ya hype man's backin' up every line

If you're in a fight but don't really wanna scrap

But act like you want it when the bouncer hold you back

You're a herb, if you tip strippers with a dollar

Those who grab the coke and then call yaself a baller

A herb, if you just now sayin' holla

If you meet a girl but are too shook to call her

If you act cool but keep ya girl on a leash

If you're still talkin' bout the Jay Nas beef

You're a herb, if you saw episode one

But never saw the trilogy, I just begun

You're a herb

[Hook:]

[humming to the beat with lines being mixed in]

"Ya better ask somebody"

"Yo herb"

[Verse 2]

You're a herb, if you got a flag on ya truck

But before last September you never gave a fuck

A herb, if you put ya faith in the churches

I you call yourself Bin Laden in ya verses

A herb, actually, better yet a joke

If you glorify suicide and doin' lines of coke

I you traded in your comic books and stamps

For an Avirex and some SouthPole pants

You're a herb, if you live next to Forest Gump

But go to school tying your bandana in the front

"Yo herb", if you got skills but dress like a nerd

Just cause you can rap don't mean you ain't a herb

Herb, you're a herb if you claim fame

But hide yaself online with a fake screen name

Act violent and claim to hold things

Rappin' like a thug and walk around in toe rings

You're a herb

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

You're a herb, if your man buy's you a bex

And you're to stingy to buy him the next

But you'll buy a drink for the opposite sex

The type of guy that snatch whole albums of the neck

You're a herb, if you fallin' for the Puma fads

Cause they got a pair of turntables in their ads

A herb, if you never pay for a date

A big herb if you never reciprocate

If you gotta leave the room or change up ya tone

When you talkin' to your girl on your cell phone

A herb, if you steal out the tip cup

If you wear your hat with the visor flipped up

You're a herb, if you like this but don't own this

If you think it's funny when you fuckin' with the homeless

If you tuck your sweatshirt in ya jeans

If you dis the goon group because you left a bean

You're a herb, motherfucker

[Hook: until fade]

Yeh, take offence, 7L on the track

Esoteric with the rap, herb rappers fall back
