Golden

[Verse 1: Naj]

Now I could, play the back
And give these chucks what they want
Or get this game back
Moving forward from the front
On these boards
I was gifted from the jump
Play me too close
Might get you lifted with the pump nigga
But still I envision a world that's non-violent
Where hoes with high mileage
Soared high to be sky pilots
How many times? Try after try
Dropped out of college
Through these horny nights, early mornings
Saying hi to a scholar
Never teary-eyed, just bleed from the pen
Dedication caused separation
Between those demons within
It's the priest in me, beast in me
Sank its teeth in the skin
Of an innocent poet, you know it
So the seasons were grim
To the dummies I was fucked up
Cave like mindset and now I'm living for a legacy
And times my mom wept
Swimming in them different women
Had my mind stretched
It's complex, beyond sex, the concept
Of loyalty in the ghetto, or the pressure to settle
But that in turn, influenced the devil that influenced a rebel
In the streets pack too much heat, shit boil over
Lost another soldier, that's just a hint for the kettle
Calling the pot black but still fighting for the block
Doing the same shit that make them tighten up on cops
Hands Up! Your time's up!
It's still fuck the 5-O, just for Mike Brown
They left that nigga with his eyes closed

[Pre-Hook: Naj]
What they talking about?
We rap about this, we rap about that
We rap about shit we seeing every day
This every day life, I'm living life like it's golden boy

[Hook: Naj & Jae Soul] x2

Told my granny keep praying
In due time I'll find my way
Hope it ain't too late for me
Mama keep saying
"Son you're destined for the greatness and fame"
Well I can't wait to see
Cause I'm rocking and rocking and rolling
And I'm living my life like it's golden
