Gold
8Ball & MJG Lyrics

Nigga we buy gold, wives and vogues
We spend our money on expensive items like gold, luxury cars, and beautiful women.

Slamming my doors, knockin' these hoes
We make a grand entrance and attract attention by shutting car doors loudly and impressing women.

And when I'm feeling like I'm feeling like I'm feeling today
When I'm in a particular mood or mindset, I act a certain way.

I put my smoke in the wind and dump the guts in the tray
I dispose of my cigarette butt by throwing it out the window and into the ashtray in my car.

Swanky slow when I ride everyday when I ball
I drive in a stylish and confident manner every day, especially when I am spending money extravagantly.

Been official with mine, I ain't fuckin' with y'all
I am genuine and authentic, and I do not associate with fake or phony people.

Plus these hoes ain't no love, put that there on my sub
I do not trust or love these women, and I clearly state that sentiment in my music.

Give a fuck what it is or what it was
I do not care about the past or present circumstances, I am focused on living in the moment.

In my mouth, where I'm from that's common
Gold teeth or grills are a popular accessory in the area where I come from.

Al Green and Marvin Gaye music called pimpin'
Erotic and sensual music by Al Green and Marvin Gaye is often associated with the image and culture of pimping.

Here's another testament, ignorant or elegant
This is another example or illustration, which can be either crude or sophisticated.

Roar like a elephant, time to take my medicine
I am fully embracing my dominant and powerful nature, and it's time to indulge in my vices and pleasures.

Inhale a large amount, hold it, blow it out my nose
I am inhaling a significant quantity of drugs or smoke, holding it in my lungs, and exhaling it through my nose.

Gasoline you can smell it on my clothes
I frequently use gasoline as an accelerant or lighter for my drugs, and it leaves a distinct aroma on my clothing.

Trampoline, bounce around and get some bread
I am constantly on the move and hustling to make money, like jumping on a trampoline to catch bread crumbs.

Magazine's top model give a pimp some head
A popular, attractive model is performing oral sex on me, a pimp.

She is not complaining, we paper planin'
She has no objections or complaints, and we are making money effortlessly.

We got the top down and the music banging
We are driving with the convertible roof down and listening to loud music.

Clip full of hollow tips, tipping through the back streets
I am carrying a weapon with a magazine full of bullets that expand on impact, navigating through the less safe parts of town.

Personal protection, pimpin', right under the front seat
I keep my weapon within easy reach for personal protection while engaging in pimping activities.

Pull it out and use it if I feel my life in jeopardy
I will use my weapon if I feel that my life is in danger or threatened.

On the beach in Rio with some bitch is where I'd rather be
I would rather be relaxing on a beach in Rio de Janeiro with a female companion than dealing with the stress and danger of my everyday life.

We paper planin', they not complainin'
We are making money successfully, and others are not protesting or resisting.

Cuz they with big Ball
Because they are under the care and protection of a successful and powerful pimp.

I'm a twenty-four carat, gon' let you have it
I am valuable and genuine, and I am willing to share that with others.

If you really want it, type of nigga pull a rabbit out a hat
If you truly desire something, I am resourceful enough to make it happen and provide it for you, like a magician producing a rabbit out of a hat.

In a minute, Chevy thang tinted
I will be driving a Chevrolet vehicle with tinted windows shortly.

When I ride through my city, people still know who in it
I am still recognized and respected when I drive through my hometown or territory.

Make shit look better even if I ain't up in it
I have a talent for enhancing or improving things visually, even if I am not physically present.

Got the shine on my tires and them blunt killas in it
My car's tires are polished and shining, and I have marijuana cigars in the vehicle.

It's a ? game but I still shoot to win it
Life is unpredictable and there are unknown factors at play, but I am determined to succeed and emerge victorious.

I'm pimp tight, M-J-G
I have a strong and polished pimping persona, similar to the other member of my group, M-J-G.

I'm vintage, I'm classy
I have an old-school, classic style and elegance to my personality and image.

That means I been through it and lasted
I have experienced hardship and adversity in my life and have emerged stronger and more resilient because of it.

Now I spot bullshit a mile away and pass it
I can detect dishonesty or insincerity from far away and avoid it.

Tried steppin' in it but the shit got shittier
I attempted to involve myself in something negative or harmful, but it only worsened the situation.

So I got smarter, my wits got wittier
I learned from my mistakes and became more intelligent and clever as a result.

My heart been broken, I just picked it up and glued it back
I have experienced emotional pain and heartbreak, but I have been able to recover and move on from it.

That was way back, way back, before I knew the facts
Those events occurred a long time ago, before I was fully aware of the truth or reality of the situation.

Spittin' what I know, not the he-she said shit
I am telling the truth and relaying my own experiences and knowledge, not rumors or hearsay from others.

And I'm still comin' out hard like a red brick
I am still emerging victorious and succeeding in life despite any challenges or obstacles, like a strong and solid red brick.
