Paved With Gold

[Intro]
Just gotta feel it
You gotta really, really, really feel it
When you know, you know

[Verse 1]
They told me, "don't dream too big," they told me, "don't work too hard"
Said, "use your imagination, don't let it go too far"
I said, "I wanna live like me," they told me I should live like him
They said I need a brand-new car with a big white house and a big white fence
Told the whole world, "fuck this, I'm winning"
Showed the whole world that I'm just beginning
Gotta finish off what my dad done started
He worked too hard cutting fish for a living
He got me, I got us now
I don't want to hear no fuss now
Never made sense as a kid, but I finally understand why he left for like months now
Told me, "this shit take time," something like a slow-mo shot
That's why I'm really out here shootin', I'm something like RoboCop
I remember 2014 I was so damn depressed that I almost stopped
I wanna thank God I didn't
I ain't gonna hide my feelings, so

[Chorus]
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where the streets are paved with gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops, I'm right up off the boat
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where the streets are paved with gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops, I'm right up off the boat

[Verse 2]
And yeah, I fucked up
But I don't really mean no wrong
They don't wanna hear you, Jerry
They just want a Migos song
A little something light, you know?
With the words that she knows, um
Fuck it, I don't want this shit handed to me
If it happened that way, it wouldn't be no fun
I had the keys to her heart
And she wasn't letting it go
'Cause she knows I'm young and I'm dumb when I'm drunk
So this shit just got out of control
She at home 'cause she exhausted
I'm out here making a toast
Asking myself what's important
Guess I'm just taking it slow
I got rid of all the people holding me back
Now I'm beaming, that's just Blizzy looking over my ass
If they try to throw me shade, then I'm throwing it back
I'm standing right here in the spot where I'm supposed to be at
So won't you

[Chorus]
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where the streets are paved with gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops, I'm right up off the boat
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where the streets are paved with gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops, I'm right up off the boat
