Pot of Gold
Asher Roth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right
I be on my own
Scouring the globe in designer clothes
Surfing on the waves, million dollar boats
Really want to stay, but I gotta go
Searching for the pot of gold
Like a domino
Fall into the flame, but designed to float
My heart is made of shame, its a hollow home
Caught up in a game where the liars go
What'd you say, I don't know
We all got problems, don't need yours
But keep that shit on record
What the hell ya'll be lookin' at me for
We all just ordinary people
Can't see, won't speak no evil
I peep through that old key hole
Don't think you need that ego
Where them high hoes meet the street floor
I'm free form on fly
Can't nobody hold me except moi
Don't nobody know who gets to ride
Losing control from the driver's side
Oh little did we know we were home the whole time
Highs with the lows and the lows with the highs
From the seed to the fruit, from the vine to the wine
From the tree to the root, to the child inside
I be on my own
Scouring the globe in designer clothes
Surfing on the waves, million dollar boats
Really want to stay, but I gotta go
Searching for the pot of gold
Like a domino
Fall into the flame, but designed to float
My heart is made of shame, its a hollow home
Caught up in a game where the liars go
Just say I don't know
Ooh
I be on my own
Scouring the globe in designer clothes
Surfing on the waves, million dollar boats
Really want to stay, but I gotta go
Searching for the pot of gold
Like a domino
Fall into the flame, but designed to float
My heart is made of shame, its a hollow home
Caught up in a game where the liars go
Just say I don't know
On my own
In designer clothes
Million dollar boats
But I gotta go, searching for the pot of gold
On my own
In designer clothes
Million dollar boats
But I gotta go, searching for the pot of gold
The lyrics of Asher Roth's song "Pot of Gold" seem to explore the lifestyle of a successful individual who is still searching for something more significant in their life. The first verse talks of being on their own, traveling the world, and enjoying the finer things money can buy. The repetition of "searching for the pot of gold" suggests that despite all these luxuries and experiences, the singer feels unfulfilled and yearns for something more significant.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions, with lines like "my heart is made of shame, it's a hollow home" painting a picture of someone who is struggling to find meaning in their life. The overarching theme seems to highlight the emptiness that can come with a lavish lifestyle, and the importance of finding purpose beyond material possessions. The repetition of "just say I don't know" could indicate a desire for simplicity, and a willingness to admit vulnerability instead of constantly trying to project an air of invincibility.
Overall, "Pot of Gold" is a thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to reflect on the true value of wealth and success.

I be on my own
I am independent and self-reliant
Scouring the globe in designer clothes
I am traveling the world in style
Surfing on the waves, million dollar boats
I am enjoying luxurious experiences
Really want to stay, but I gotta go
I desire to stay but need to move on
Searching for the pot of gold
I am searching for fulfillment and riches
Like a domino
I am vulnerable and easily influenced
Fall into the flame, but designed to float
I am capable of rising above obstacles
My heart is made of shame, its a hollow home
I carry guilt and feel emotionally empty
Caught up in a game where the liars go
I am involved in a deceitful world
What'd you say, I don't know
I am unclear and uncertain about what is being said
We all got problems, don't need yours
Everyone has their own issues and I don't need yours
But keep that shit on record
Keep your problems to yourself
What the hell ya'll be lookin' at me for
Why are you paying attention to me
We all just ordinary people
We are all the same despite our differences
Can't see, won't speak no evil
I refuse to participate in negativity
I peep through that old key hole
I observe through a narrow perspective
Don't think you need that ego
You don't need to have a big ego
Where them high hoes meet the street floor
Where the elite come down to reality
I'm free form on fly
I am liberated and soaring
Can't nobody hold me except moi
No one can control me except myself
Don't nobody know who gets to ride
No one knows where life will take them
Losing control from the driver's side
I am losing control of my life
Oh little did we know we were home the whole time
We didn't realize we had everything we needed all along
Highs with the lows and the lows with the highs
Life has its ups and downs
From the seed to the fruit, from the vine to the wine
From beginning to end, from raw to refined
From the tree to the root, to the child inside
From surface to the core, to the inner child within us
