Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Rock the boat like a one-eyed pirate
Rick James, I get glitter on my eyelids
2 A.M., eighty-five on the highway
Whole world get a little misguided
Where the spotlight? Put me in the spotlight
Trust no one that put you in the wrong light
I scream when I hit her with the long pipe
Mmm, ice cream when I hit her with the sweet thang
Do my thing, no, I do not do speaking
Get my shot, point it out like whoop, bang
I'ma win a bitch and I got a mood swing
I'm the realest, bitch, now I got a mood swing
I got bipolar confidence
Wake up like "shit" then I feel like a shit
So I guess I'm the shit
Yeah, guess I'm the shit
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Grab life by the horns when I whip the Lambo
Black on red like I work the sambo
Clip's so long it'll make you mumble
Watch you tangle, dutty wine
She grind on my dick like a hundred times
Shawty love me long when I grip your sides
You slip inside like a slip and slide
My electric eel, your electric slide but
I just wanna feel up the booty
All on me, all on me, all on me
We can slow clap like wooty
All on me, all on me, all on me
I just wanna feel on your booty
Grab the camcorder, we can make it a movie
Bring a friend with you if you like how I do it
Gold chain swingin', and she like how I shoot it
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Damn
Damn, I'm frosty
Blood diamond, I'm flossing
Navy camel, I'm drowning
But you don't see what it cost me
Turn 'em on like the Saudis
Hand-me-downs never fit me
Party never fit me, punani never fit me
Damn, time travelin', Honda swervin', that's so Merlyn
That's so Merlyn
That's so Merlyn
That's so Merlyn
Damn, time travelin', Honda swervin', book learnin'
That's so Merlyn

Swan dived on the 405
Land at the bottom of Arturo High
With the precision of a cut from a Zorro knife
The boy spit like he made out of 409
So that's clean, bitch
You can't play with my team, bitch
We rock pink, no more Wednesdays
Wringler's good with your envy
Mix with white 'cause you salty
But this stainless
I'm like platinum and it's painless
I just skip on the beat like I'm Pee-Wee Herman
Hands off of all my sermons
My wheel's turnin', now I'm more efficient than ever
I feel like Ratatouille when I'm whipping that Chevy
You see, you better fucking get some sweaters 'cause this ice
Might fuck around and change your whole life
'Cause we about to take flight
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck (keep a gold chain)
Fly as a jet
Boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain (wax, wax it)
I keep a gold chain (wax, wax it)
Keep a gold chain
(I said I keep a gold chain)
Keep a gold chain
(I keep a gold chain)
Keep a gold chain
'Cause then I keep a
(I keep a gold chain) a gold chain, keep a gold chain
(Keep a gold chain) I said I keep a, I keep a
(Keep a gold chain) (wax, wax it)
BROCKHAMPTON's song "GOLD" is full of lyrics related to confidence and self-respect. The first verse of the song repetitively states that the singer keeps a gold chain on his neck, and he flies like a jet. This represents his financial stability and his capability to live a luxurious life. The singer also wants to be treated with respect, which denotes his self-worth. By having a fancy life with material possessions, he wants to maintain his self-image and requires respect from those around him.
In the second verse, the singer talks about living life carefree. He mentions "Where the spotlight? Put me in the spotlight" and talks about being mistrustful of those who paint him in the wrong light. He also screams out during sex, then mentions getting his "shot" (perhaps a reference to a sexual act). The singer also refers to his confidence, which is bipolar, which makes him feel like the "shit" on some days and just a regular person on others. On the chorus, BROCKHAMPTON repeats that they keep a gold chain on their necks and fly like jets, and people better treat them with respect.
In the third verse, the singer mentions the high cost of his luxurious lifestyle ("Blood diamond, I'm flossing. Navy camel, I'm drowning. But you don't see what it cost me"). They continue to mention how they are often labeled as the odd one out, and people are jealous ("Wringler's good with your envy. Mix with white 'cause you salty"). The song wraps up with the final chorus, which reiterates the main message that the group keeps a gold chain on their neck and fly like jets, and people better treat them with respect.

Keep a gold chain on my neck
I wear a gold chain around my neck
Fly as a jet
I'm stylish and confident
Boy, better treat me with respect
Don't disrespect me
Rock the boat like a one-eyed pirate
I take risks and shake things up
Rick James, I get glitter on my eyelids
I like to party and wear flashy makeup
2 A.M., eighty-five on the highway
I'm reckless and like to speed at night
Whole world get a little misguided
The world is chaotic and confusing
Where the spotlight? Put me in the spotlight
I want to be famous and get attention
Trust no one that put you in the wrong light
Don't trust people who twist your image
I scream when I hit her with the long pipe
I scream during sex
Mmm, ice cream when I hit her with the sweet thang
I enjoy sex
Do my thing, no, I do not do speaking
I act rather than talk
Get my shot, point it out like whoop, bang
I take my chances and act fast
I'ma win a bitch and I got a mood swing
I can be moody but I'm confident in attracting women
I'm the realest, bitch, now I got a mood swing
I'm real and my confidence fluctuates
I got bipolar confidence
My confidence fluctuates
Wake up like "shit" then I feel like a shit
I wake up feeling bad sometimes
So I guess I'm the shit
Still, I think of myself highly
Grab life by the horns when I whip the Lambo
I take control of my life
Black on red like I work the sambo
I dress fashionably
Clip's so long it'll make you mumble
My gun is powerful and intimidating
Watch you tangle, dutty wine
I enjoy watching people dance
She grind on my dick like a hundred times
I enjoy sex with women
Shawty love me long when I grip your sides
Women enjoy my sexual prowess
You slip inside like a slip and slide
Sex is easy and enjoyable with me
My electric eel, your electric slide but
I'm skilled at sex, you're merely okay
I just wanna feel up the booty
I want to touch a woman's butt
All on me, all on me, all on me
I want a woman's attention
We can slow clap like wooty
We can enjoy ourselves together
Grab the camcorder, we can make it a movie
Let's make a sex tape
Bring a friend with you if you like how I do it
Invite your friends to have sex with me
Gold chain swingin', and she like how I shoot it
Women are attracted to my style and sexual performance
Damn, I'm frosty
I'm cool and confident
Blood diamond, I'm flossing
I enjoy showing off my wealth with flashy jewelry
Navy camel, I'm drowning
I'm in the navy and struggle with its demands
But you don't see what it cost me
You don't understand the difficulties of my life
Turn 'em on like the Saudis
I can excite and impress people
Hand-me-downs never fit me
I had a hard time growing up
Party never fit me, punani never fit me
I never fit in with social groups or women
Damn, time travelin', Honda swervin', that's so Merlyn
My friend Merlyn likes to drive fast in his Honda
That's so Merlyn
That's what Merlyn does
Damn, time travelin', Honda swervin', book learnin'
I'm learning things while Merlyn drives
Swan dived on the 405
I took a risk by jumping on the 405
Land at the bottom of Arturo High
I ended up somewhere unexpected
With the precision of a cut from a Zorro knife
I did it with skill
The boy spit like he made out of 409
I rap with power and intensity
So that's clean, bitch
That's impressive
You can't play with my team, bitch
I'm exclusive and don't tolerate disrespect
We rock pink, no more Wednesdays
We're trendy and breaking gender stereotypes
Wringler's good with your envy
Jealousy won't affect us
Mix with white 'cause you salty
We're mixing with and enjoying the company of white people despite jealousy
But this stainless
We remain unscarred by negative emotions
I'm like platinum and it's painless
I'm valuable and powerful, and it comes easy
I just skip on the beat like I'm Pee-Wee Herman
I rap without effort
Hands off of all my sermons
Don't interfere with me when I'm rapping
My wheel's turnin', now I'm more efficient than ever
I'm improving and getting better at rapping
I feel like Ratatouille when I'm whipping that Chevy
I feel skilled when driving my car
You see, you better fucking get some sweaters 'cause this ice
You should prepare yourself for how impressive I am
Might fuck around and change your whole life
I can impress and change people's lives
'Cause we about to take flight
We're about to go far and be successful
Keep a gold chain (wax, wax it)
I always keep my gold chain shiny
I keep a gold chain (wax, wax it)
I take pride in my appearance
Keep a gold chain
I always wear my gold chain
(I said I keep a gold chain)
Just reminding you of my style
(I keep a gold chain)
I'm proud of my gold chain
(wax, wax it)
I take good care of it

Swan dive down the 405
Land at the bottom of El Toro High
With the precision of a cut from a Zoro knife
The boy spit like he made out of 409
So that's clean, bitch
You can't play with my team, bitch
We rock pink now on Wednesdays
Green looks good with your envy
Mix with white 'cause you salty but this stainless
I'm like platinum and it's painless
I just skip on the beat like I'm Pee-Wee Herman
Hands up for all my sermons
My wheel's turnin', now I'm more efficient than ever
I feel like Ratatouille when I'm whipping that cheddar
You see, you better find your thickest of sweaters
'Cause this ice might fuck around and change your whole life
'Cause we about to take flight
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect
Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect
(Keep a gold chain) Keep a gold chain on my neck
Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect
