Chris de Luca vs Phon.o Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got gold cause I'm chasing it
I got soul cause I'm making him
l got soul cause l'm faking it

Standing in the dark searching for some peace
We got a lot of heart that's something that they must believe
I gotta be a man I represent my family now
Safe to say I hold my family down
I ain't home much mama saying I'm losing myself
but this music don't be cooking itself yeah
A bit more trusting I trust a snake to snake me
A snake's supposed to snake that's the reality that breaks me God
Heart of a champion I'm going for gold
I don't give a fuck about how many records we sold
This is for everything good God this is for every kid
This is the very dream they seek to make they pockets bleed
We got sold to move ounce and still
I thank God that we found this dream this is amazing
And if we fall they gone sing our hyms
We gone live forever this is for a legacy built I got gold

I got gold cause I'm chasing it
I got soul cause I'm making him
l got gold cause l'm faking it

Aah yes let me tell them
I marvel at the life from the darker side
My girl from praying I turn into a proper guy
When life's hard you struggle to show a softer side
While others fake it like a ID that's falsified
Up in the cloud crown surfing
I'm up in the crowd loving the sound
Walls are soundproof we pumping it loud
Running your mouth jaws are moving like there's gum in your mouth
Stuck in a slave contract so focus you should be running it down
When you speak the truth you breaking off a piece of you
And scatter pieces of yourself hoping to bring peace to you
You putting work in you feeling like success is teasing you
It's taking long and you getting pissed off like you need the loo
Mind over matter dawg charging like El Matador
I'm writing scripts that are ripping pages off the catalogue
Lights off I'm spiritual I'm preaching with the candles on
During the days we observing the cause we me handle on

I got gold cause I'm chasing it
I got soul cause I'm making him
l got gold cause l'm faking it

Scope into it so
Smooth take a sip and that
True from my lips and that
Cruise and take a trip

Scope into it so
Smooth take a sip and that
True from my lips and that
Cruise and take a trip

I got gold cause I'm chasing it




I got soul, cause I'm making him
l got gold cause l'm faking it
