Saint Paul - Gold lyrics

[Produced by Kelz the Villain and Saint Paul] [Verse 1: Kelz the Villain] If the world is a pond, then my heart's a sinking stone Descending into darkness to forever be alone I show respect and friendliness but other people don't And to be honest, that's all I've ever known A lot of things are changing on the way to being grown Best Friends Forever think forever is too long People that I love are about to be gone And it seems like Jesus won't pick up his phone In a decade and a half, I done seen so many woes Sure I got highs, but there's many more lows I've been through so much hell, I know heaven must be close I guess you gotta deal with thorns if you want a rose Things are going bad and the streets still cold Everybody's dying young, so nobody's getting old However, my story is still being told With all the bronze I've been through, I think I deserve Gold [Hook:] Gold, Gold That's gotta be at the end of the road When life gets crazy, I never let it phase me So I'll be rewarded for holding on Stay in the game, and you'll move on up Patiently wait and you'll get what you want Due to all the pain, man, some pleasure is owed Every day that it's bad, I chase the day that it's Gold, it's gold [Verse 2] Life has been hard, but I'm tryin' not to trip If I get more bad news, man, I just might flip Starin' in the mirror saying, "I gotta get a grip" Then I calm myself down by picking a beat to rip Everyone is dealing with a problem to solve And there seems to be no way to get away from it all When the money is wrong, you feel like breaking a law But walk the straight and narrow and the winnings are broad There are some days when I don't wanna get outta bed Because of situations and the people to dread Do what you must for what you want is what my grandmama said So Imma get this money so my mother can rest I'm just tryna do right by all the folks in my life With all the stuff my aunt handles, she could cry every night I just play the hand I'm dealt and I'm unable to fold So those who struggled with me will be living in Gold [Hook:] Gold, Gold That's gotta be at the end of the road When life gets crazy, I never let it phase me So I'll be rewarded for holding on Stay in the game, and you'll move on up Patiently wait and you'll get what you want Due to all the pain, man, some pleasure is owed Every day that it's bad, I chase the day that it's Gold, it's gold [Verse 3] Never again will I let somebody bring me down Or situations, no matter how it looks right now So I ain't got the time to just sit around and lounge It's either bars or books and either way I'm gettin' thou's For these hot bars, man they not even ready My rhyming is deadly, I'm tryna get the debit through credit If you still don't get it, here's the image, no Getty All these rappers a bunch of noodles like a pot of spaghetti And when it comes to books, my progression is evident When difficulty arises, instrumentals are medicine For the monster within, songs and books are a sedative And I know my living conditions will eventually be better than The evils that I see and hear and speak every day I plan to reach a state where everything is okay And some stresses that we're dealing with are taken from our load If I stay on track and finish strong then Imma get the Gold [Hook:](x2) Gold, Gold That's gotta be at the end of the road When life gets crazy, I never let it phase me So I'll be rewarded for holding on Stay in the game, and you'll move on up Patiently wait and you'll get what you want Due to all the pain, man, some pleasure is owed Every day that it's bad, I chase the day that it's Gold, it's gold [Speech]
