[Verse 1]
Gold runs through my veins
Do I deserve this life?
Do I deserve this fame?
Or am I just caught up in fabricated games?
I guess this green is working I forget my name
Gold runs through my veins
It's dripping from my hair until it's really such a shame
That I'm still staring at this dirty window pane
I guess that growing up means burning out my flame, yeah
[Chorus]
Now you could hold the key the life
But would you know what is inside?
Now you could own all of the cars and have the girls
But would you know what turns the world?
[Verse 2]
Gold runs through my skin
Sometimes it's hard to remember the world I'm in
You use your boy, God but you commit all his sins
Now don't you realize that nobody's here to win
Gold runs through my skin
I'm always put down for the words I write in pen
I don't care bout these lies that people try to spin
Indigo children, yeah we don't gotta pretend
[Chorus]
Now you could hold the key the life
But would you know what is inside?
Now you could own all of the cars and have the girls
But would you know what turns the world?
[Bridge]
Now you could hold all this gold
You could hold all this gold
You could hold
You could hold all this gold

“Gold” was about my questioning if I’m ready or even worthy of what I’ve been given in this life. I always think, why me?
