Asher Roth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you, the hottest thing up on the floor,
The way she moves got me wantin more,
Drink in my hand, DJ play my song,
Got me feelin good im about to get it on,
I cant explain im in the mood the way you do the things you do,
She got the look she got the moves, she got it ooh she demonic
On the dance floor she transforms, the way that she moves put a trance on you,
Ooh can I put my hands on you, theres not much that I won't do
Its no secret I want ya girl you're my mantre girl free aren't ya girl
I'm at your mercy girl don't hurt me girl got a bad case of a devil worshiper....
Nah nah nah hold up hold up hold up
I'm on my way in rap, ain't no girl gettin in the way of that,
I want my name on plaques on stage im phased im a dangerous actaaa
Strange as that little ash blew up got famous fastaaa

But fame is wack, I came here to change it, take it back
Cause the way we act and the way we rap yea its maniac, satanic practically
We want change then changed we have to be
You see me I speak proactively and back it up with the things I do
Everything we do we should think it through, yea I seek the truth then I seek the booth
Yea I deep my roots to speak to you yea the scenic route I take for inspiration
Converse with nature relay information, its different its intimidation
But its new ways we are integration




This is it this be the disc good for the soul, safe for the kids,
A to the s h to the e r you ready for the greenhouse effect

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asher Roth's song "Demonic" describe the artist's encounter with a woman on the dance floor who captivates him with her movements. He is drawn to her in a seemingly supernatural way, calling her "demonic." The lyrics suggest that he is somewhat afraid of her power, yet also deeply attracted to it. As the song progresses, Roth reflects on his journey to fame and his desire to use his platform to affect positive change in the music industry.


The opening lines of the song set the stage for the encounter with the woman, who is described as the "hottest thing up on the floor." Roth is immediately drawn to her, saying that the way she moves makes him want more. He is clearly intoxicated, holding a drink in his hand and feeling good as the DJ plays his song. The woman's power over him is likened to something demonic, which both intrigues and frightens him.


As the song continues, Roth reflects on his own fame and its corrosive effects. He expresses a desire to use his position to change the music industry and steer it away from the "maniac" and "satanic" tendencies he perceives in the current scene. He sees himself as a force for positive change, using his music to speak proactively and inspire people to seek the truth. The final line, "A to the s h to the e r you ready for the greenhouse effect," suggests that Roth sees himself as a catalyst for growth and change.
