Gold Lyrics - Punch

[Intro] 

Just got a text, probably remind him on Socrates, from my IG post 

[Hook] 

All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold 

Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold 

[Verse 1] 

Compulsive dreamer, pessimistic overthinker 

Never indulging reefer, seldom Hennesy drinker 

Wear my heart on my sleeve with a poker player's demeanour 

Balanced emotion, you rarely know what I'm thinking 

This is a special dedication, dedicated to streets that I was raised in 

Where Ray was slayed in, where his killer gon' see the same fate that he did 

Poetic justification of youth's frustration 

Reap what you sow, small mind approach 

I'm digging deep in my soul, I'm tryna find quotes 

To help me see the silver lining in this hurricane 

We used to the rain, hoping to wash away these stains 

But blood don't come out of clothes, neither do bullet holes close even if them wounds heal 

My mind's forever exposed to them cold hills, somehow a nigga had hope still 

But I'm barely out the fire, in fact these flames is burning my back, creating permanent tattoos 

As I recall the book of Matthew, these are the last days and what have you I'm a firm believer 

I rarely practice what I preach yeh 

So if this falls on deaf ears and never reach ya 

I'm blood guilty beneath ya, before you cast one stone just know I need ya

[Hook] 

All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold 

Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold, nigga this world so cold 

Everything that glitters ain't gold, nigga this world so cold 

Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, nigga this world so cold 

[Verse 2] 

There's something I can feel 

Like pyramid energy feels for real 

I'm just tryna' keep it real 

Whatever that is 

'Cos I could think a thought and make it happen 

It's no secret the law of attraction is written in our fabric 

The most basic interactions are accurate 

Maybe there's too far left for us to digest this song 

And in the midst of our doom I'm just tryna' consume 

They say [?] on the stars and the moon and the ancient Egyptian tombs 

What about these babies dying in the womb, that don't affect you? 

Tell the truth, I know I heard that she don't respect your youth 

I know you well versed in the sacred secrets and thirst knowledge for whatever breathes it 

You're on your poor righteous [?], wise intelligence, you rhyme with such elegance 

But the homie got killed, what's the relevance? 

They gave my uncle twenty-seven years with no evidence 

It's really real out here, niggas are getting killed out here 

Where's your content? 

How do you sleep, where's your conscience? 

How could you ever forget the projects? 

Nigga my heart bleeds, stop it 

You can't disown with this home 

With that said I take them whenever I zone 

If it never I Rome, the empire's standing strong behind me 

On my side like my [?] 

Flesh on my flesh, it's embedded in me my IV 

80s baby stuck in the 90s, ten khakis creased on top of Cortez Nikes 

White t-shirt with a dope dealer's psyche 

Swear air, ain't too many left that's like me

All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold 

Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold, nigga this world so cold 

Everything that glitters ain't gold, nigga this world so cold 

Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, nigga this world so cold 

[Outro] 

Nigga this world so cold 

Nigga this world so cold 

Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, nigga this world so cold
