Asher Roth - His Dream Lyrics






[Verse 1: Asher Roth]
He leans back from his desk
Rubs the back of his neck, the stress takes effect
Grips the bridge of his noise
Squints while he's showing emotion he normally won't
At 56, he re-evaluates
Possibly regretting some decisions that he's made
Black is turning grey, patches of his age
Reflecting from the glasses of passive of every page
Passionately Dave reads, reading on occasion
Dreaming of the day when he can do the same thing
He's always wanted to write, that's all he's wanted in life
With two daughters, a son and a remarkable wife
He's in a bind, he has to provide
A family is relying on a millie to survive
His father died at 56
So he's well aware how vital a father figure is
How big of a responsibility it is
To be a good husband and care for your kids
Never miss an event, helping them with their homework
Discipline to prevent things when they're older
His only son is only 21
And focus as a poet has only just begun
Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means
His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream

[Chorus: Miguel]
I close my eyes and I can see (His dream)
The sacrifices he made for me (His dream)
Put it aside for his family (His dream)
Yeah, so I'ma keep it alive, Yeah

[Verse 2: Asher Roth]
And so he targeted to be the dream guardian
Guarding it from anything and anyone whose harming it
But in his heart, he knows the hardest thing about it is
Giving up on his dream to be all about his kids
As he kisses the lips of the misses
For 24 years going on the 25th
He thinks to himself, this alone is a wealth
It's greater than what's bought and then sold on the shelf
Sometimes a dream is all that we have
We have to continue to dream
Cause once it is lost amongst other thoughts
Then what really are we, what are we?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Asher Roth]
So he sits back at his desk
Cracking his knuckles and back of his neck
Faxing a paper displaying his name
On another application explaining the main
Things they should know but the things that they don't
Are the things that distinguish him as an adult
And over the phone, he can never expose
The role that he chose, the role in his home
And at home, he's a leader, a father
He'll prove it by using his son and his daughters
In their life, he'll be playing the part of
The one who inspires, the one we admire
His only son is only 21
And focus as a poet has only just begun
Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means
His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream

[Chorus]

    All y'all shut up fer real. it's about the messege it takes time writing something like this. And if u can really relate and feel what he's saying that's what's important. Fuck that's the fucking point. rapping with meaning.

    i love xanax (asher roth diss) - c-note the great feat.don dizastah

  28. S.... m....

    some people just tend to sound like voice wise, but Ashers lryics are not anything like Eminem's they are both just white and sound a little bit alike on certian songs doesn't mean they are trying to be like each other.

  29. R.... F....

    lovin this song.

  30. C.... W....

    beautiful lyrics :')

  31. R.... S....

    @iMonst3rM4n a name is a proper noun. which is a word.

  32. J.... R....

    this is the illest message i've ever received from a song. ever.

  33. D.... ....

    I used to think that all rap was bad, but this proves that not all of it is. This song is deep.

  34. I.... O....

    @jayers0840 if ya dig good music checkout my channel

  38. E.... V....

    @millzmurder123 here's a good idea . . . STOP going onto ash roth's videos if u dont like the man . . . it seems pretty pointless. you got issues.

  39. A.... S....

    man yall better stop sleepin on this dude!!! dont be like him sleepin on the bread aisle lol cus he a talented artist

  40. S.... L....

    @millzmurder123 I like how the only reason you have this account is to listen to aser roth.

  41. m.... ....

    @ProjectSkyBeasts ikr i hate tht

  42. M.... ....

    This sounds like a song that you would have a chill ass skate session and think about your future with. It's a great song. Makes me think a lot about my skateboarding.

  43. K.... k....

    @MrMike93100 yea

  44. K.... k....

    @12kodan haha dude

  45. D.... D....

    man im a 16 year old boy and this shit made me cry..

  46. �.... L....

    @jayers0840 eminem

  47. M.... ....

    IF COPYDIKE WAS BETTER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNED, HE GOT HALF HIS FAME FROM DISSIN ASHER

  48. 3.... ....

    @killedmymom newbie

  49. S.... ....

    definitely my favorite ash roth song

  50. F.... G....

    Why can't rappers like lil wayne, make their own beats like this anymore.. and Weezy... they aren't original anymore! They just steal beats and rhymes from older rappers like Eazy E, and NWA and old snoop songs.. This probably shouldn't be commented here.. but I just like how he doesn't copy other peoples shit, he's his own. He makes his own. He doesn't copy, rip off, or steal... He's a pure rapper. Shit even Eminem has re-used other peoples beats..Damn..

  51. S.... J....

    This that shit

  52. R.... B....

    inspiring, hip hop can truly get out of it's so called "coma" with songs like this

  53. m.... ....

    @jayers0840 Why? It's perfectly justifed.

  54. S.... K....

    Lmao...Respect to Asher...Is it me? Or is this the first song predominantly, if not...about a father. Normally, rap music concerns mothers. Whether it's respecting them, or dissing them. Agree?

  55. M.... ....

    wow love this song! so many parents and kids can relate to it! and FUCK all the people wo compare him to em!!

  56. K.... A....

    This song makes me wish I had a father present. But I have one parent and this reminds me a little about my mother. This is a song that should be put on the radio station. It might help other young people realize how most of our parents are really sacrificing and struggling to raise us .

  57. O.... ....

    just wow, amazing lyrics

  58. e.... ....

    @Kram808
    In no way shape or form can you compare these 2 artists except for these two facts; they are white, they rhyme.

    The two have COMPLETE different styles
    the two are seperated by a VAST difference in SKILL

  59. T.... B....

    Asher's amazing!! <.3

  60. d.... G....

    Dam
    this is some good shit

  61. G.... S....

    @gismadi kid cudi

  62. D.... S....

    haha asher roth's good but cant compare to eminem

  63. K.... G....

    People really got to stop bitching about it -.-'

  64. b.... ....

    gone crazy yet? LOL

  65. K.... J....

    i like this song, but 'I Love College' is the BESST' song on the albummmm(':<33*

  66. K.... ....

    Comparing Asher to Eminem isn't even close. They have different styles but there both great lyricist.Eminem is a LEGEND Asher Roth is a New Upcoming Star who has the possibility to become a hip hop icon. Other then there both good at Rapping and there White there is no other real comparision!!!

  67. M.... V....

    favorite song on the album shows that he's a real lyricist and can write some good ass lyrics lots of love asher

  68. M.... ....

    eminem is way better than him but dont get me wrong he is good to but not as good as eminem

  69. S.... ....

    I don't think I could actually disagree more lol
    where's Rakim? Nas? Crooked I? Eminem?
    you need to look before the year 2006 lol
