Gold
I remember I was 9
When my brother used to rhyme
Used to see him spit, switch flows, and hold nines
Seen the same bro catch case and hold time
All that made me wanna do is continue his prime
As a youngin all I wanted was to be that nigga
All they did was look at you
And be like "he that nigga"
Older brother, older son of mother
One I would look up to
Hoping that one day
You'd be the one that I turn into
I figured it was just a figment of imagination
The magic made this moment happen
Look at me growin'
Just that what all these years they had you waitin'
In that cell while niggaz givin' you hell
I knew you was still basic
And when them cells close
And spite cover your eyes
I just pray God let light cover your skies
Hope your inner stressin'
Don't mess with you inside
Keep rollin' your head high
With some blessings in the sky my man
Things don't always go
Always go your way
I know, everything that shine it ain't gold
And we might think we're close
But even we can be far away
I know, everything that shine it ain't gold
Everything that shine it ain't gold
It ain't gold, it ain't gold
Everything that shine it ain't gold
Things don't always go
Always go your way
I know, everything that shine it ain't gold
And we might think we're close
But even we can be far away
I know, everything that shine it ain't gold
Everything that shine it ain't gold
It ain't gold, it ain't gold
Everything that shine it ain't gold
