His Dream (Explicit) - Asher Roth
Lyrics by：O. Kleinman/A. Roth/M. Pimentel
Composed by：O. Kleinman/A. Roth/M. Pimentel
Oohhh oohhh
Oohhh oohhh
He leans back from his desk
Rubs the back of his neck
The stress takes effect
Grips the bridge of his nose
Squints while showing emotions 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 that pass of every page
Passionately day reads
Reading on occasion
Dreaming of the day when he could 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 bond
He has to provide
A family is relying on a milli 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 evenin'
Help them with their homework
Discipline to prevent things when their 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
And my dream is his dream
Hmmm
I close my eyes and I can see
History
The sacrifices he made for me
History
Who will decide for his family
Yeah
So Ima keep it alive yeah
And so he targeted to be the dream guardian
Guarding it from anything
And anyone who's harming it
But in his heart he knows the hardest thing about is
Giving up on his dream and being 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
That's greater when that's bought and
Then sold on a shelf
Sometimes a dream is all that we have
We have to continue to dream
'Cause once it is lost amongst to the thoughts
That what really are we
What are we
I close my eyes and I can see
History
The sacrifices he made for me
History
Who will decide for his family
Yeah
So Ima keep it alive yeah
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 name
Things they should know but
The things that they don't
All the things that distinguish him as an adult
And over the phone he can never expose
The roll that he choose
The roll in his home
And at home he is 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
And my dream is his dream
I close my eyes and I can see
History
The sacrifices he made for me
History
Who will decide for his family
Yeah
So Ima keep it alive
Yeah
Yeah
Oohh
