Silver to Gold

[Hook]
Yeah... so my mindset changed
People can't handle the old, same lame
Person that I am, or person I became
Silver to gold and I ain't talkin 'bout my chain
I'm... better now, better than before
I never close my eyes, so it won't go out the door
I promise I won't change - no cars, galore
No money, no issue, just respect times four

[Verse 1]
There's a lot I don't know, there's a lot I can't show
There's a lot I can't see without a lot of good weed
I need a way to retreat
Before I feel like a beast
Before I burst at the very first sight of my dreams
And I'm almost done, and I'm so far gone
And I've worked so hard, I can feel it in my arms
If I don't hit you back, then you probably pissed me off
Or cause I can't stop working - no time to talk
I've been at that part, in my life where I felt
Like I wasn't good enough- I can't do it by myself
I can't keep doing, it's damaging my health
Will this path that I've chosen ever really lead to wealth?
Or am I stuck in a vortex? Hoping, for more or less
Than a very subtle chance, or a sign that says, "You're next!"
I hope I can inject
My words in these kids, and
Have them have me on repeat... and actually listen

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
It's like my life's underneath a bunch of light that just gleams
And can be seen for a hundred miles and overseas
Which is where I'll be, in a year's time
Never caught off guard when I'm steady on my grind
Just because I don't love doesn't mean I can't try
So I hope I don't end up picking girls out of line
Or going out of line, doing shit I said not to -
I'll never go mainstream, never make a pop tune
Done with this diss shit, yeah you know I ought to
Focus on my shit, have everything thought through...
So now I hope you understand me
Never say you can't be, only say you can be

[Hook]
