AJ Bank$y - Golden Lining lyrics

[Intro: AJ Bank$y] Right, haha, look: I'm a...a long way from the honor roll I dropped a couple songs, maybe y'all will honor those Cause y'all doubted, I ain't trippin', I ain't pouting, right Well, me and Apollo 'bout to k** it though [Hook: Apollo] Said everything that glitters ain't gold But while we're on a roll Know we 'bout to grow, know we 'bout to grow [x2] [Verse 1: AJ Bank$y] Cla**ic after cla**ic I'm still writing my Illmatic Black Art was a blessing and it wasn't mixed or mastered What more could you tell us, I'm loving the progression Peep what Austin started and respect how we've developed Took a glance back at my old raps But I been there and I done that Fun fact: we used to make recordings on a webcam Free software, a dresser for a mic stand Any means necessary grindin' for respect man Then came up and got a better flow Cut dead weight so I could better float Cause everybody ain't real dog Some fake trill, gotta let 'em go Lessons from Isaiah, told a youngin' just to free his soul He made that Freshman cover but I'm aiming more to break the mold Then build it back, I'm tryna be constructive I'm tryna make a living for the people I grew up with A dime into a dollar, make 'em emulate the hustle These the pieces of a kid, just wait 'til I complete the puzzle Bank$y [Hook] [Verse 2: Apollo] Everything I'm writing is not a masterpiece Actually I'm just hiding, I need to find my peace Cause factually we dying, I'm out here really just trying To make sure I'm not another conviction of the system we've been taught to be accustomed to I broke free, I grew wings, am I a miracle? I never learned to fly did that just make me lyrical Or just another money hungry, fake-great bullsh** rappin' in the mirror dude I don't know but I like to think not Ten years deep in this music and I'm not hot Ten years deep and I never take a night off Working overtime so that I can make some write-offs Keep on watching world, man my momma gonna ride off In that 'baby' Bentley darker than that n***a Nighthawk Lookin' at my dad in that Carrera he gon' fly off Paid for in cash, you can bet I'll f**in' sign off [Hook] [Outro: AJ Bank$y] I know you seeing the progression It's evident in every session I know these n***as never loved us Does it look like we been stressin' I hope you use this as a lesson Just look at all the time that we invested Yeah, n***as never loved us, right Grow! (1 Corinthians 13:11 recited and talking in foreground) I'd like to thank y'all for taking this journey with me It's love all the way around... Redem--
