Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Used to chase that shine Thought the price was fine Counted all that mine Still felt empty inside (yeah) [Verse 1] I thought the metal made a man Heavy chain, heavy hand Stacked up bands, empty plans Soul on mute, I just ran Then you came, midnight glow Cut straight through that shallow show Hit my chest, straight through bone Turned this house into a home (yeah) [Chorus] I only thought that gold made a man rich Till I struck black gold, you the real gift (you the real gift) You ran through my heart, made the pain switch Richer than the rocks in my hand, you the main fix With you I am made whole, every crack stitched You the value that the vaults can’t touch, that’s real bliss I only thought that gold made a man rich Till I found black gold and it was you that I missed [Verse 2] Used to flex in a crowded room Still felt small in a king-size tomb All that shine just fed my doom Dark in day, no space to bloom You pulled curtains, let me see More than numbers in the sheets Now my worth ain’t in receipts It’s in whispers when you sleep (shh) [Chorus] I only thought that gold made a man rich Till I struck black gold, you the real gift (real gift) You ran through my heart, made the pain switch Richer than the rocks in my hand, you the main fix With you I am made whole, every crack stitched You the value that the vaults can’t touch, that’s real bliss I only thought that gold made a man rich Till I found black gold and it was you that I missed (you that I missed)
