Backdraft - Streets of Gold lyrics

(Verse 1) Tell me what's the difference between living and dreaming? Reading the book of life I'm just tryna find meaning While I'm leaning on the dock of bay like Otis Redding They'll lose their brains just for a buzz, see the beheading? And we heading straight for end times and Armageddon All the wrongs I done I'm just hoping that I get in to heaven Let me chill just expanding my thoughts Everything comes with a price I'm just cutting the cost See I don't wanna take a loss, us gamers we competetive My songs mellow heard a fellow call it a sedative it's cool I'm fighting for these souls on the line Like shoes on the power lines i could build a shrine From these gems that i'm dropping, a clumsy j**eler Or like unlucky sonic you ain't met nobody cooler Just my beliefs I ain't tryna shove the lord at you But in this crazy world it gives me something to look forward to you know? (Hook) Since a youngin' I was always told That heaven promise it'll be streets of gold Streets of gold It's in my soul yo I always know That I'll be walking on them streets of gold Streets of gold! (Verse 2) No way it's gold plated I know you thinking that my views must be so jaded But think about a paradise with no stress And no d**h no depressed Facebook statuses so blessed Oh yes I guess I'm living in a fantasy No better place for me and my family If so cool but for now let a man dream He could be a king cause growing up he didn't have things To hope for asking haven't I found love yet? Hands on text books it's such a touchy subject And we ain't seeing eye to eye like powerline Life's a goofy movie We laugh while the hours flying Cause time pa** like a bid became a man from kid Thought of heaven now I'm tryna fix the things that I did in the past Cause your legacy will last long In this pyramid scheme unaware of the capstone (Hook) (Verse 3) Refer to the Book of Life when I need advice Heard you only live once but i could of died twice Ain't that nice? I don't believe the propaganda Since i'm positive I open myself up to the slander Take a gander in my mind stars made of emerald Walking on clouds wings off of principle Basically invincible racism diminished No k**ing each other or police youth replenished By the spiritual waters waking up invigorated Free to live as one cause we now liberated From the ties that bind we newly designed Finding forever common since that i knew we could find Flying over the minds limitations we need renovations A part of me meant for this generation Cause who gone be voice of reason through the seasons? I say the government deceiving they call it treason
