THE GOLDEN YEAR

[Intro: GALLO]
Yeah yeah

[Verse 1: GALLO]
This all started out as a dream
Never would believe this
But I still achieved it
Never had reasons
Never had a budget on me, never broke even
Never had a hit song, but I'm still breathin' (Breathin')
And I'm still writing
God built a titan
One that's still fighting
Thunder and the lightning
Hittin' as I write this
Papa's still around, I can feel him when the light hits
Over my shoulders on a greens, baby
Miami mornings of a dream, baby
I just keep following my gut
'Cause befo' this, in Connecticut, was stuck
Couldn't seem to shake the feeling off, escape rut
So I packed my shit up, hit the road, and pulled the plug
Aye, everyday I'm falling in and out of love
Something like the rising and the setting of the sun

[Bridge]
Uh, I feel up, looking down with the sunset's coming (Yeah)
Call it like a siren
You don't stand a chance
Leave the burden with the birds, I don't wanna turn a new page
If I hear one, probably nothing
Turn me up a tiny bit (Tiny bit, tiny bit...)
Yeah

[Verse 2: Kurlee Jefferson]
Where my deal at?
Brand new wheels at?
Where's my private chef who's cooking all my meals at?
Where my boat at?
"Kurlee, you the GOAT" at?
Where's my line of model women tryna snap a Kodak
I don't know where they at, but I ain't chasin' 'em
In a room with my demons, I'm finally facin' 'em
Got so much love from my fans, ain't no replacin' 'em
And if you got love from me now, wait for the stadium
It's sold out (Out, out...)
And it's full of people
Until that life is just a track meet (Meet)
And I'm just chasin' steeples
'Cause everyday I'm fallin' in and out of love (Out of love, love...)
Everyday I'm fallin' in and out of love (Love, love, love...)

[Bridge]
Uh, I feel up, looking down with the sunset's coming
Call it like a siren
You don't stand a chance
Leave the burden with the birds, I don't wanna turn a new page
If I hear one, probably nothing
Call me up, yeah

[Verse 3: Marc Vinyls]
Yeah
I thought this really gon' take me to the top
Fifty-two weeks, not once did I stop
Last time I did, I had a few that popped
But this time, life hit and everything stopped (Stopped)
Dad almost died, dog went to Heaven
Days in my room, sitting there, beggin'
Then I got COVID, everything I questioned
Face fucked up from all the stressin'
All these lessons that I really learned from
Thinkin' 'bout the S.K.R.A.P. when he dropped "Burn One"
Did it twice, thought I earned some
Respect
But really myself, I neglect
Now I always got to be the best
Made it through them nights that were really dark
My advice to you is you gotta just start
Even when you feel that you can't go on
I'll be here, with this song

[Outro: GALLO]
I really did this shit
That's where we at
We just wanted to update
Uh, me
Just keep goin', man
'Cause yo, when you step outta the comfort zone and shit just leads to, this shit just leads to crazy places, man (Places, man)
Love you, pal (Love you, pal)
