Gold

Gold, gold, I work all day, I slave all night for the gold, in the cold, you all don’t even know

Gold, gold I work all day, I slave all night in the cold for the gold, take it to the grave without a soul

Hands numb, lungs burn, frost cutting through my bones

Chasing something shiny just to die alone

Blood on my knuckles, dirt buried in my skin

This life ain’t built on winning, it’s just learning how to sin

Every sunrise feels like a battle just begun

Every midnight feels like the devil already won

Money makes demons, but it’s the only thing that keeps me breathing

So I grind till I ain’t got a pulse left beating

Gold, gold, I work all day, I slave all night for the gold, in the cold, you all don’t even know

Gold, gold I work all day, I slave all night in the cold for the gold, take it to the grave without a soul

Seen homies die chasing what they’ll never hold

Bodies dropped for paper, traded spirit for gold

Streets raised me, pain paid me, the hunger never fades

Digging deeper in the darkness where the broken get made

We gamble life like dice thrown in the gutter

Watch brothers fade like ink leaks from a letter

People see the stacks, but never see the scars

They judge the shine, but never see the bars

Gold, gold, I work all day, I slave all night for the gold, in the cold, you all don’t even know

Gold, gold I work all day, I slave all night in the cold for the gold, take it to the grave without a soul

I’ve seen bodies hit the ground, breath stolen from their chest

Heard the last words of men who never had a chance to rest

The grind don’t care who falls, who breaks, who cries

It don’t stop, it don’t sleep — it only takes lives

Every dollar cost a memory I’ll never get back

Every chunk of change brought another heart attack

Pain is the furnace, heat melts the pride

Only ones who lived here are the ones who died inside

But I keep going, cause quitting ain’t an option

This soul’s already rotten, I signed the adoption

Gold’s the master, I’m the slave to the greed

But it’s the only thing left that gives me what I need

Gold, gold, I work all day, I slave all night for the gold, in the cold, you all don’t even know

Gold, gold I work all day, I slave all night in the cold for the gold, take it to the grave without a soul

When they bury me deep, don’t speak, don’t pray

My story was written in the dark every day

Gold stole my heart, gold swallowed me whole

But at least I died chasing something — instead of dying broke with no control

Gold, gold, I work all day, I slave all night for the gold, in the cold, you all don’t even know

Gold, gold I work all day, I slave all night in the cold for the gold, take it to the grave without a soul
