His Dream Lyrics - Asleep In The Bread Isle - Asher Roth

(feat. Miguel) 

(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)
