Golden
Hurt Everybody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you out there workin, what you workin for?
I'll show you some work, and make you work some more
Everything is golden, I swear whatever you holdin'
It don't matter unless it's golden
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
And don't be scared, just be golden
Girl don't be scared, just be golden
I see you scared, cause you ain't golden
Why are you scared? Just be golden
I said a prayer
Make me golden
Make all my niggas golden
I feel chosen
Can't loose focus
Fuck em' they want my focus
My magic, my hocus-pocus
My talent, my life, my golden
Take a walk through my garden
Look down at the flowers they're dipped in gold
The weak get devoured, I trip off the power
I just took a shower, that bitch was gold
Infinite gleam, had infinite dreams came to implement change
But my grip got fucked up by these infinite rings
I'm in this bitch cuffin my penmanship suffered these infinite chains cover intimate pain
This life is lonely
Think my wife is lonely, came from rice-a-roni
Cold nights on Stoney, to this big ass palace and this big ass chalice
But I might still pour me, some cyanide in the chardonnay
I a die for I fall asleep
Me and my battered mind just parted ways
Saw you out there workin, what you workin for?
I'll show you some work, and make you work some more
Everything is golden, I swear whatever you holdin'
It don't matter unless it's golden
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?




Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?
Whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hurt Everybody's song Golden discuss the concept of being "golden" and the importance attached to it. The first few lines ask the listener what they are working for and promises to show them some work and make them work some more. The idea behind this is that in order to achieve greatness and be considered "golden," one has to work tirelessly and relentlessly. The repeated refrain "everything is golden" establishes the fact that nothing else matters unless it is gold. The phrase "whatchu' holdin'? Is it golden?" can be interpreted as a metaphor for one's possessions or accomplishments. The song implies that unless what we hold or achieve has lasting value, we cannot be truly golden. The message is that one should strive for lasting accomplishment and not just fleeting success.


Furthermore, the latter half of the song delves into the chaos and isolation that can come along with the pursuit of greatness. The singer raps about his struggles and strife, including the infinite dreams and chains that keep him from being truly free. The line "my battered mind just parted ways" illustrates the mental toll of always working towards something and the solitude that comes with it. Despite that, the song concludes on a positive note where the singer prays to be "golden" and for his companions to be as well.


Overall, "Golden" is a metaphorical piece that urges one to pursue lasting greatness and reminds the listener of the toll the journey can take. It implores the listener to be unafraid and willing to put in the work to achieve true "gold."
