Black and Gold

[Verse 1]
Getting my piece of the pie I hustle away with the work and the deadline
While leaving behind my catalogue with a story like bed time
Leaving my freedom even ignoring importance of sleep
Dreaming of living large in a big apartment on boulevard settings by the sea
See I've been down a bit been out of it sort of like a raving mad man
Inadequate to handle shit all I do is work on my rapping
Chronically on it honestly losing the use of my mind
I need a holiday and bath off a bay my face wrapped in a bit of sunshine
But wait now hold up wake up older no ultimatum weights on my shoulders
Got enough thoughts that are taking their toll going
All around the head like the lines of a bowl cut
Under the pressure of getting shredded I know that it's bold but
I've been up and then down down and I'm ready for the winter when the snow and the cold come

[Hook]
I've seen the greenest hills things that give me freezing chills
But still my work can be my weakness like Achilles' heel
It's not a pretty deal living with this gritty feel
I keep it real black and gold no frills son
I've seen the greenest hills things that give me freezing chills
But still my work can be my weakness like Achilles' heel
It's not a pretty deal living with this gritty feel
I keep it real black and gold no frills son

[Bridge]
Day in day out my life will see the
Same things play out it might just be the
Way that I'm paving my future soon it is clear that I need to
Change this break out to find more freedom

[Verse 2]
It's sort of like the shining so isolated and dedicated to not wasting time that it's
Driving craziness into my life. I need to stop need to let my hair down and watch
Watch all the world that is surrounding me not thinking of then
What's around the corner when I wake up in the morning
Man I better get up all of what I'm waiting for to pile up
On a platter put upon the shoulders heavy with the burden
Betting all of what I want to get is unattainable to pull off
Voice that's inside me forever needing to speak and release
I'm never going to get ahead what I want to do and now
I'm taking time off living life free
I take it day to day while witnessing this beauty
And then I find that place of all the things I'm losing
Claiming it back and attracting all of the things that I need
For my whole life toward the raw light the thought is all right with joy to just be

[Hook]
I've seen the greenest hills things that give me freezing chills
But still my work can be my weakness like Achilles' heel
It's not a pretty deal living with this gritty feel
I keep it real black and gold no frills son
I've seen the greenest hills things that give me freezing chills
But still my work can be my weakness like Achilles' heel
It's not a pretty deal living with this gritty feel
I keep it real black and gold no frills son

I keep it real black and gold no frills son
I keep it real black and gold no frills son
I keep it real black and gold no frills son
I keep it real black and gold no frills son

[Bridge]
Day in day out my life will see the
Same things play out it might just be the
Way that I'm paving my future soon it is clear that I need to
Change this break out to find more freedom
