Gemstones - Gain The World lyrics

[Verse 1: MC Jin] My goal was to get signed My goal was to blow up Guess what, when it happened, I ain't even know what, hit me Am I leanin', Somebody pinch me, Am I dreamin' Chain on my neck, my name on a check, life finally had some meaning At least that's what it felt like, felt right from the start, But little did I know I was slowly fallin' apart My goals were short term, drop hits, get hot today, I jus' need a hit with Timbaland, Neptunes, maybe Dr. Dre Neglectin' my craft, I could care less about the art, All I'm tryin' to do is to find the fastest path to get on the charts Wasn't always like this, is it the cash that did the damage? Once upon a time there was a pa**ion it was organic Nights like this, I'm feelin' like Eddie Kane Missin' my heartbeat, wasn't ready for the fame There's power in his name, yeah His grace is sufficient My only goal now is run this race until I'm finished, I'm in this [Hook: D. Tropp] The bright lights will turn you to a monster, at least that's what they say Is it worth what it'll cost ya? When it's thrown all away… So what good is it to gain the world, gain the world, but not gain a thing What good is it to gain the world and lose everything [Verse 2: Gemstones] My goal was a big chain My goal was a slick range My goal was a big house Me and Lupe flyin' jet planes Some young girl getting' stretched out Every night drunk on Champaign Nose up with my chest out Lord knows how them checks came Stunt so hard, you flexed out Sure enough, felt like X-games Eyelids get no rest how It's no sleep when you in that left lane And I kept sane Made it out just before d**h came Blessed I was almost X'd out And would'a been had I missed that next train Home but I still felt left out Thought a new life would'a brought less strain Was on Lupe's cool tour stressed out And thought sunshine would have brought less rain If only somehow I had less doubt If only someway I felt less pain Depression on you to best out Still broke cause you got less fame Coulda been rich with a guest house But something within my chest changed I ain't get dropped I backed out I'm done, y'all can have this rap game Sold my soul for a packed house A few g's and a lil' scrap change I'm runnin' back Lord both arms stretched out Forever I'll praise Your blessed name [Hook: D. Tropp] The bright lights will turn you to a monster, at least that's what they say Is it worth what it'll cost ya? When it's thrown all away… So what good is it to gain the world, gain the world, but not gain a thing What good is it to gain the world and lose everything [Verse 3: Mogli The Iceburg] My goal was that prestige My goal was to impress these Critics and peers so I could make a little money Maybe get enough to buy a couple car keys My goal was that rapper fame My goal was that big name with my big head and my soul dead Til' that light shown And my heart changed And that's real Listen, sit back and smile Put a deal on the table Ready to sign, I was willing and able Til' I had a talk with the head of the label He said, don't talk about God that don't make money That'll cost money, that'll take from me Don't you wanna blow, don't you wanna know, What its like to be up at the top Just sign on the dot, Huh? Started from the bottom now we in it till we win it Only difference is the way that we gon' finish See the elevator goin' up for anybody Walkin' with the Spirit I just hope the people clear enough to hear it So I give it to them with the lyricism Cause the mission here is different We just doin' it to glorify His image Not our own Not because I fear Hell but because I love Him And I wanna be up with Him when he sittin on His throne So I'm sayin', give me the rain, give me the pain, unashamed in the game Boy the worst you could do is k** me Goin' and puttin' it down with the sound that resounds in the town My identity in Him, that's the real me Yes Lord, it might have taken me a minute But I'm, done with all that talkin', Here on out I'm tryna live it Indie [Hook: D. Tropp] The bright lights will turn you to a monster, at least that's what they say Is it worth what it'll cost ya? When it's thrown all away… So what good is it to gain the world, gain the world, but not gain a thing What good is it to gain the world and lose everything
