GOLDEN BOY Lyrics

Thou shall not steal and thou shall not kill

How much a dollar cost? Some men don't know how them dollars feel

You gotta protect yourself as you crossin them fields

Two wrongs can never make it right until it's fuck how you feel

Micah, touch of gold, baby, what I touch heals

The strongest men alive got Achilles' heel

Every dog got his day, trust me baby it's real

The man above is the only man that a nigga can fear

The man above is who we follow put the rest in the rear

We all water when I feel sorrow, I just swallow my tears

I find light at the pier, swimmin' alongside my peers

When I turn sober, world turn colder, someone hand me a beer

This life no game, but I'm warmin' up, so I know that it's near

I hope I live to see my full potential, but for now I'm switchin' my gears

My mother, father, have been bothered for a while

They see me changin' proof in the pudding it's in my smile

My lips been darker, they matchin' my heart, it's all about style

We stay in character, break them barriers, run like Harriet

Jesse Owens, Usain, Serena, LeBron, the list goes on

Our engines still operatin' with hella miles

We been through pain, again and again, again and again, again and again

Our cries done created the nile

They wanna drown us in it, know I've been sinnin, they won't crown me in it

Keepin' my distance, they ain't found me in it

This for my descendants, my beautiful children, this came from the

Mind, soul and spirit, cheers to new beginnings, it's only us

Let me open up, allow myself to breathe for once

Insecurities formed as a child, for I knew what I want

Went from holdin' hands to holdin' grudges for too many months

I never thought I'd rise above it all, like the morning sun

My heart broke in two, my fam broke in two

My mind been corrupt, all I think about is you

My heart broke in two, my fam broke in two

My mind been corrupt, all I think about is you

I wanna place my hand on your soul

Forgive me if my touch is cold

I lived a few lives already long time ago

When I had innocence, boy, that was so long ago

I done seen some things you would've thought you seen the Holy Ghost

Empty hallways without a painting on the fuckin' wall

Report cards where every F stood for all of my flaws

A rose from the concrete stand tall, through winter, fall

A vacant home, barely connected, never made a call

My own blood turned on me, had to turn that pain to art

And now I see

I see red, I see green, I see blue, I see gold

I'm brand new, I'm brand new

I see red, I see green, I see blue, I see gold

I'm brand new, I'm brand new

Look into my soul, you'll hear my heart, it's screamin' truth

Look into my soul, you'll hear my heart, it's screamin' truth

Look into my soul

You gon' see I'm the chosen boy

You gon' see I'm the golden boy

You gon' see I'm the chosen boy

You gon' see I'm the golden boy

I just wanna thank y'all for listenin

I wanna thank y'all for lendin' me y'all ears, lendin' me y'all time

The support will never go unnoticed

It's appreciated greatly

Um, I don't got too much to say

I already said enough throughout this tape

Um, I'm about to get started on the next one

I hope y'all enjoyed this tape
