VanC - Gold lyrics

[Hook] Lights will fade and shrivel But you're made out of gold Don't feel the wind blow A star will shine forever But only at night will you remember [Verse 1] Just a kid with a dream and a suitcase Little bit of loose change under a shoelace To get what you wanted how long would you wait? If you felt like everything in life was way past its due date Do you weigh out the pros and cons? Do we think that the past we can grow beyond? How do we feel right when we know it's wrong? Damn I dunno guess that's why I wrote this song Brains are processing all of our thoughts You can't help but think somewhere you got thrown off the course But it's not like you've never felt lonely before You just heard boos and moans you didn't know they applaud Well, that's the way it's perceived Like here have a picture that they painted of me Tainted for free, cause that's what we're made to believe But to be great how great does one have to be All of the setbacks, writing upset raps Find where it's left at but never accept that If I don't pull this off then I won't be calling shots So I'm sitting in this room with a stomach full of knots Take a deep breath take a deep breath Take it back to them days when I'd take a heat check Just a kid in gym bout to get his feet wet Was never in the conversation of he's next [Hook] Lights will fade and shrivel But you're made out of gold Don't feel the wind blow A star will shine forever But only at night will you remember [Verse 2] You're supposed to be my rock when it's scissors Not supposed to feel locked in a prison, I said You're supposed to be my rock when it's scissors Not supposed to feel locked in a prison, I said I try and give ‘em variety I give my heart and soul in its entirety The only way that I deal with anxiety Real life sh** is the stuff that inspires me On that heartfelt sh** You know cause my heart felt sh** You know that I can't sell this Cause my life is wreck that I can't sal-vage Give me life give me d**h Give me knowledge give me stress Give me more give me less Give me no give me yes [Hook] Lights will fade and shrivel But you're made out of gold Don't feel the wind blow A star will shine forever But only at night will you remember [Verse 3] Yesterday I got rid of that closed mind I'm back now man its go time Haven't felt like this since 09' Told ‘em all to skate cause they didn't have no grind King of diamonds in that 52 pick up Gonna drive around the states in a 52 pick up No faith nobody pick us Now their hands in the air like an over due stick up Keep it real with that sh** They wanted me to sign a deal with that sh** But that's not how we deal with that sh** Started getting hungry had a meal with that sh** Write a song how we feel about sh** Not phased if you ain't feeling our sh** Die tomorrow and not blink an eyelid Cause I'm proud of sh** in life that I did [Outro] Is that Selfish or self centred I'm at one with this world I have myself centred Is that Selfish or self centred I'm at one with this world I have myself centred Cut me off at the knees no feet Climbed to the top of the peak no feet Running through 30 songs with no feat
