[Intro]
Yo, if you lose me, everything crumbles, yeah, it's real, listen up
Feel the truth in my words, they steel, deep like a well, uh
OHH, OHH, OHHHHH, yeah
[Verse 1]
Steppin' through this world, cold as a winter chill
Got my own fire, burnin', climbin' hills, God's will
Could go solo, yeah, I stand tall, never fall
But ask yourself, gold or fool, which you after all?
I carry weight, memories, pain and joys combined
Navigatin' through storms, still I grind, I shine
No shadow, just light, through the night, I ignite
But if I disappear, will I still be bright?
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’m the real, the truth, the essence of the soul
Journey on my own, yet still I hold control
Cruel world around, but I stay profound
Would you still see me as gold when I’m not around?
[Chorus]
If you lose me, if I go, do I vanish? No
But in your mind, will my shine still glow?
Travelin' alone, through this ruthless zone
Will your heart still see me as the king on throne?
[Verse 2]
Facts cold as ice, life’s price is high
Survivor’s story, I testify, never lie
Realism in my rhyme, lose my love, lose my light?
Or am I the flame that burns bright in the night?
See me hustle, when I struggle, I stay true
Built from the ground, solid, like I’m made of glue
Independent, relentless, I pursue, what’s real?
But deep inside, could I still be the true deal?
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’m the real, the truth, the essence of the soul
Journey on my own, yet still I hold control
Cruel world around, but I stay profound
Would you still see me as gold when I’m not around?
[Chorus]
If you lose me, if I go, do I vanish? No
But in your mind, will my shine still glow?
Travelin' alone, through this ruthless zone
Will your heart still see me as the king on throne?
[Bridge]
Authentic stories, facts, no facade, no front
In a world so cold, I remain one
Solo but solid, stand tall, hold strong
If I’m gone, is my legacy long?
[Outro]
So remember my words when I walk away
Gold or not, I’ll still light the way
Through the pain, through the strife, I’m free
But tell me, in your eyes, am I still the key?
OHH, OHH, OHHHHH, yeah, one love, one life, one struggle, stay true
