Weight of gold

---

Every dream I held turned heavy in my hands

But I still stand, I still stand

The road been cold, but I walk it bold

Carryin’ the weight of gold

---

Pain in my chest, but I smile for the cameras

Lost too many soldiers, had to change my manners

Mama still prayin’ I don't vanish to the madness

Cuz the city love you, then turn you to a caption

I was broke with a wish and a hoodie

Now I’m rich but the love still muddy

Every chain that I wear feel bloody

All these scars turned money into something ugly

Still me though, ten toes, no redo

Faith in my chest like G-code

---

I done carried my pain like a cross through the snow

Tryna turn these losses into something I can show

If the Lord got a plan, I just pray that I know

I been walkin’ with the weight of gold

Weight of gold, weight of gold

---

I been hurt, I been broke, I been lied on

Put my soul in these songs just to fight on

Every tear that I shed had a light on

Made it shine through the dark when the night long

They don’t see the pain, they just see the chain

They don’t see the storm, they just feel the rain

Tryna make peace with the man I became

But the mirror still whisper my name

Ohhh yeah

---

Every sin I forgive, every loss I embrace

Every shadow that chased me just showed me His grace

If my voice ever fade, let the choir replace

My pain with praise, my pain with praise

Praise, praise

---

Tjay: Streets taught me faith, but pain wrote the code

Now I’m ice cold, still my heart overload

Rod: Yeah, love turn thin when the pockets explode

But I still thank God for the nights I froze

Tjay: Came from nothin’, had to build my hope

Rod: Every prayer feel like a lifeboat

Both: Still ridin’ with my dreams untold

Through the storm, through the smoke, through the weight of gold

---

I still stand, I still stand

Every loss was a crown in disguise, amen

If my brothers don’t make it, I’ll carry their soul

Forever holdin’ the weight of gold
