Verse 1

I done been through some real shit
So I ain’t even gon stress though
I can’t
I’m just trynna make a mill quick
Get my mama outta debt so
I’m out here
Just grinding like a muthafucka
And praying one day that it pay off
So I stay on the hustle
The struggle is real
That’s why I cannot take a day off
I got
Too much on my list now
So I focus on the hits now
Can’t sit down
Work hard till the checks come
And it’s mortgage over rent now
Blue chips now
Yea I’m talking bout val-ue
And paving the way to allow you
To have what you want on this earth
If you trynna go get it let me show you how to


Chorus
X2

Fools Gold
I ain’t talking bout him
I ain’t talking bout her
I’m talking bout me

And one day the world will know
When stars align when skies will fall
What I’m talking bout.





Verse 2

I ain’t even posed to be here
Cause the odds was against me
But what?
But I’m bout to tell a new story
Pre re-write history
Keep going
Bout a kid who never had shit
Working his ass off to keep up
While chasing a dream nobody else seen
Or thought that it really could be one
Now what?
Now I’m out here on a slow grind
And I’m working on my own time
Which I don’t mind
Only focused on the future now
No time for the rewind
Let it stay behind
And I’m blind to fact that
I was raised in the city were the track smack
Where the guns don’t sleep
And the babies don’t eat
And the church next door
To where the trap at


Chorus
X2




Verse 3

Now it’s crunch time
So I’m focused everyday on these punch lines
Cause I remember the days when I came up
Al-ways posted in the free lunch line
Must grind
I ain’t trynna go back now
So I’m ready wit a plan of attack now
Of how to get doe
Flip moe
Don’t blow it
Just grow it
Do it off a lil bit of rap now
You are what you attract now
Focused on the stacks now
Killing competition
Never been the type to back down
Put it in sack now
Black child raised in the
Hood where its normal that
You gotta keep a strap around
Oh wow
Every day it goes down
Trynna be a cash cow
Beef in the streets
You gotta milk it till it’s gone now
Get it on ya own now
Earned every dollar I ain’t looking for a loan now
King of the throne now
Left behind everything I knew
My family, my city and a w2
Bet it all on a dream deferred
I’m gon be heard
I see it all from a bird’s eye view
Elevated perspective
So I’m never neglecting
The reason why I do it
Wit not 1 exception
I just gotta keep going
Even when I’m feeling hopeless
Since nobody gave us nothing
Imma be that blessing (uh)
Chorus
X2




Bridge

Doubt on my mental
From struggles I been through
So when life got me beat
I can’t help but to think that I’m so instrumental
To the world that we live in
I’m just playing my part
So I bleed on the page
Wear my heart on the stage
And it’s all for the sake of the art


Chorus
X2
