The Empire - Pot of Gold lyrics

[Verse 1: S.G.] Man, I been doing this for ten years, and I still ain't signed I been prime with the production and even better with rhyme I know, in due time, I'll get noticed by a big label Some say I wasn't able to see a deal on the table But I know that's gonna change cause I got more faith in people than church I been puttin' in work like I'm dedicated to hurt And what's worse is that I'm broke and it's harder to find a job Cause I was fired from the last one for imitatin' my boss I was addicted to stars, coke, weed, X and meth' My life has been a mess, since I walked out the nest And I'll, never get rest unless my lawyer tells me, "Do it" I pursue it til I dead or in prison or buy me, choose it You say my life is ruined, but it makes me push harder I got two boys now, and then I might be pregnant with our daughter With rent Two months late, survivin' off, great There's no food on our plates, the problems won't go away Chorus: Female singer Chasin' pebbles to find a pot of gold A pot of gold I need a pot of gold in my life My life My life My life Repeat Chorus [Verse 2: Luna] To my son, Zion, I'm a keep tryin', this mountain we climbin' Is full of pitfalls and other dangers that I hide in Know that poppa loves you And when I'm on the road, I'm thinkin' of you My heart and my soul, that is for your smile that I flow And momma know your boy is doing what he loves to do Recording songs with my boys, go out and make these crowds move Still my number one girl, my heart's pearl And I'm a get you that house in the hill with a pony, for real And pops worked hard, two jobs just to keep us happy So I'm a work as hard as I can to get a Grammy This life can be deceivin', nothing in it is promised But still my sister stayed focused, then Make her way to college To my cousin Mark, keep your head up Sometimes, you're fed up When life knocks you down, I know you got the strenght to get up My brother Chris, know this I'm proud of what you do I know you're proud of me, so let's go show the world what we can do Repeat Chorus Twice [Verse 3: Panic] What is life? Life is trials and tribulations, reality Simulations, it's true when there's fake faces, it's ugly And pretty places Traces of some people were left, nameless Some came and went Some of you to fall in some straight, heinous Some shameless Like most of the girls that were in my life Some could give a sh** Others were eager to be my wife Had some friends that I used to call brothers But in truth, undercovers Synthetic crunk motherf**ers that rob and beat they own Mothers Even family members hurt me, I'm heartbroken It seems in life, you can't trust nobody, but I kept, hopin' And prayin', blessed mother, help me up cause I'm fallin' Please forgive me cause I'm on my kness, it's you that I'm callin' To be my light Make it right with the darkness that's in my night And tell the Lord that I said thanks for Mark, Steve, Bret and Mike Finally found my brothers from other mothers And trouble keeping me covered Watchin' my back with some shovels, I love my rap Motherf**ers Repeat Chorus Twice [Verse 4: Grant Rice] Ay yo, Trav I tried to call, you even had my office pager But for some reason, I get treated like a stranger It's ironic Maybe I do deserve it But seven years of my all, isn't really worth it? But now you think it's perfect No me on the stage You f**s up the dance moves and repeats the phrase It's so wrong, it's so long without a plane ticket No thanks for sh** Cause now my name's in expense And I can't get What you bitter about Not even tech or the calico can figure it out Cause I ain't wack Maybe it's I ain't black Maybe it's my dope deal and mentality in the king of crack That you think'll sell, just to get my money But I ain't sold dope In a whole month of Sundays It's funny Cause me and Tech talk everyday And ain't no chariot's a cherry that can carry away Plus me and Bubba got this whole mixtape thing You know your a** greased to be in Regime, hun I help start this stranger sh** And this the motherf**in' Thanks I get It's my life [Female singer] My life My life My life My life My life My life Repeat Chorus {*Female singers scats and harmonizes*}
