Gold
Erik Lundin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My sight aims on the horizon
Through my pulse and my temperature rising
You dream 'bout material things
All of my dreams are materializing
I can feel the adrenaline pumping
Everytime a nigga [?] stomping
Can tell by the weight I got the syllables dropping
So you can take away the streams, take away the tracks
Take away the trophies, take away the plaques
Take it how you want but it won't take away the fact
They can take it all away but never take away the craft
Bara ett guld
Jag ser bara konkurrenter som en metafor
Man behöver ingen para för att sätta mål
Jag kliver över hela högen fullt av alla dem
Som garanterar, kommer o' behöva paracetamol
För allt jag har vunnit har jag varit värd
Jag har sett motgång jag har varit där
Lägger hela världen i varenda projekt
Det du kallar bagateller kallar jag vanlig väg
Behöver ingen fusk,
Inga övertramp men får jag inte träna varje dag får jag damp
Sagt det förrut,
Livet är en kamp och när det går åt skogen får jag börja plocka svamp
Regel nummer ett,
Måste lägga ner tid, måste va klok när du väljer din strid
Regel nummer två,
Måste vilja mer för att springa om den du ligger bredvid
Regel nummer tre, repetition, det kommer ta tid men du kommer ta tron
Regel nummer tre, repetition, måste vilja mest den kommer ta tron
Bara ett guld
