Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just met a guy with the eyes of a city that′ll never see sleep
I try to never come alive from a vibe but this guy kept his eye on me
Eyy
Don't you go dancing round through my mind
If you know we ain′t stepping on the same timeline
Acting like a guy that blew my mindOoooo oooo
Kick game man you looking like a whole snack
Kick game if I was you I wouldn't hold back
Kick game man you looking like a whole snack
If I was you I wouldn't hold back
So do yourself a favor
Baby treat me like gold
I don′t need your elevator
I get high on my own
Cuz Adam would know
That I′m Eve
If you don't know
Then I′ll leave
So do yourself a favor
Baby treat me like gold
Cuz Adam would know oooo ooo
(Like gold baby treat me like gold)
Adam would know oooo ooo
(Like gold baby treat me like gold)
Woa
Money ain't the point or the object
I been looking from the top of the mountainVibin′ but you wouldn't know a thing about that
Kicking it in the visions wouldn′t do a thing without that
Don't you go dancing round through my mind
If you know we ain't stepping on the same timeline
Acting like a guy that blew my mind
Ooooo oooo
Kick game man you looking like a whole snack
Kick game if I was you I wouldn′t hold back
Kick game man you looking like a whole snack
If I was you I wouldn′t hold back
So do yourself a favor
Baby treat me like gold
I don't need your elevator
I get high on my own
Cuz Adam would know

"Like Gold" by Angie Rose speaks about a confident, self-assured woman who knows her worth and demands to be treated with respect. The song's opening lines describe a guy with the look of a city that never sleeps, but despite her initial reluctance, the woman can't help but be drawn to him. She warns him not to play games with her and not to waste her time if they aren't on the same page in life. She admires his style (kick game) and considers him a whole snack, but ultimately asserts that she doesn't need anyone to lift her up or validate her. She gets high on her own and all she wants is to be treated like gold.
The "Adam would know" chorus reinforces the idea that the woman in the song is not willing to settle for anything less than what she deserves. She compares herself to Eve and calls out any man who doesn't recognize her worth. The song's message is one of strength and self-love, encouraging women to stand up for themselves and demand to be treated with respect.

If you want to keep me in your life, you better treat me like the valuable and precious creation that I am. I don't need a man to lift me up; I can take care of myself. If you don't recognize my worth, then I will leave.
Woa
Money ain't the point or the object

Vibin′ but you wouldn't know a thing about that
Kicking it in the visions wouldn′t do a thing without that
Money isn't everything to me. I have a great perspective on life, and I can see things from a different viewpoint. However, you seem to be oblivious to that. Without my visions, your attempts at impressing me is futile.

I am valuable and precious and I expect to be treated as such. If you really want to keep me around, treat me like gold just as Adam would have treated Eve. Don't settle for anything less.
