GOLD
Inspectah Deck/The Genius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A-yo shorty, yo that's my word
Oh, y'all smelling y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold
Yo anybody get caught flinging
Over here, I'm returning 'em, that's my word they getting blasted
Anything from 220 to 140, that's mine
Y'all need to step the fuck off
Y'all niggas ain't crazy for real
Yo, the fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

I'm deep down in the back streets, in the heart of Medina
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nigga and his boys,for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crash in the Dow Jones stock
I had a connect to cross-sales, to catch more mill's
Than ho-bitches got birth control pills
I'm in the park setting up a deal over blunt fire
Bum nigga sleeping on the bench, they had him wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nigga name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got vamped
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fucking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame like Pan Am Flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn
A kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block that played lookout
For playing predator with a Glock, he should have took out

No neighbourhood is rough enough
There is no clip that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

Fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

It's mandatory that I supply all my troops with mega firearms
Big apes and spread 'em out like crops on a farm
To get cream, sometimes they repaint the scene
Like the last episode on gates, and other niggas
Plant bombs till the smoke from the blast becomes thick
And flows through, all they knew, he's gun sick
His Glock clicks like high-heeled shoes on parquet floors
Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
Filthy foul, shovelling dirt, he's out to hurt
For instance, chop off hands, attack worth
His idols would lock down airports and extort
Some import, catching ten percent of what the fiends snort
Up in the ski resorts, up in hills
They move keys and had the skis making drops on snowmobiles
The plan was to expand, catch seven figures, release triggers
And live large and bigger than my nigga
Who promised his moms a mansion with mad room
She died and he still put a hundred grand in her tomb
Open wounds, he hid behind closed doors
And still organized his crime and drug wars

Fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clips that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

There's no cuffs that's tight enough
There is no niggas that's fuck with us




I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to you

Line by Line Meaning

A-yo shorty, yo that's my word
Listen up, I am serious about what I am saying


Oh, y'all smelling y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold
You think you are valuable when you really aren't


Yo anybody get caught flinging
If any of you get caught selling drugs


Over here, I'm returning 'em, that's my word they getting blasted
I will deal with them harshly, that is my promise


Anything from 220 to 140, that's mine
I will handle any drug sale in this range


Y'all need to step the fuck off
You guys should stay out of my way


Y'all niggas ain't crazy for real
You guys are not really tough or fearless


The fiends ain't coming fast enough
The drug addicts are not buying drugs quickly enough


There is no cut that's pure enough
The drugs are not pure enough for my standards


I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
I cannot quit, I need money, so I replenish and continue selling drugs


Product must be sold to you
You are my target customers


I'm deep down in the back streets, in the heart of Medina
I am deeply entrenched in the dangerous parts of the city


About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
I am about to commit a much more serious crime


Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
I am hiding under the subway, waiting for a distraction


So I can blast a nigga and his boys,for what?
So I can shoot and kill someone and their gang, for no good reason


He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
He came and took over my drug-selling area, causing me to lose business


Like the crash in the Dow Jones stock
Like the stock market crash, my drug sales decreased drastically


I had a connect to cross-sales, to catch more mill's
I had someone to help me sell more drugs and make more money


Than ho-bitches got birth control pills
I made more money than prostitutes spend on birth control pills


I'm in the park setting up a deal over blunt fire
I am negotiating a drug deal while smoking marijuana


Bum nigga sleeping on the bench, they had him wired
A homeless man was sleeping on a bench and they were secretly monitoring him


Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
They overheard my conversation and learned where I live


And how I changed a nigga name to John Doe
I falsified someone's identity to cover up my tracks


And while we set up camp, we got vamped
While we were setting up our drug-selling operation, we were attacked


Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fucking fangs apart
We killed him and destroyed his power and influence


Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
The enemy was killed on the spot, just like Brandon Lee in a movie scene


Blown out the frame like Pan Am Flight 103
The enemy was killed in a dramatic explosion, like a plane crash


He got swung on, his lungs was torn
He was punched in the chest, causing severe injury


A kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A drug lord made a strategic move, but lost a valuable member of his team


A regular on the block that played lookout
A person who regularly watches the area for law enforcement


For playing predator with a Glock, he should have took out
He should have killed his enemies with his gun, but didn't


No neighbourhood is rough enough
No area is too dangerous for me to sell drugs in


There is no clip that's full enough
I need more ammunition than any gun magazine can hold


To get cream, sometimes they repaint the scene
To make more money, people may cover up a crime scene


Like the last episode on gates, and other niggas
Like the final episode of a popular TV show, people are attracted to drama and violence


Plant bombs till the smoke from the blast becomes thick
They set off bombs repeatedly until the air is thick with smoke


And flows through, all they knew, he's gun sick
The smoke and violence is everywhere, it's like a disease


His Glock clicks like high-heeled shoes on parquet floors
The sound of his gun is loud and intimidating, like high heels on a hard floor


Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
He is crazy and aggressive, he will start wars and take over territories


Filthy foul, shovelling dirt, he's out to hurt
He is a terrible person, willing to hurt others to get what he wants


For instance, chop off hands, attack worth
He will resort to extreme violence, even cutting off someone's hand, to prove his power and worth


His idols would lock down airports and extort
The people he looks up to would take control of airports and demand money from others


Some import, catching ten percent of what the fiends snort
His role models would take a cut from the drugs they helped smuggle, making money off the drug addicts


Up in the ski resorts, up in hills
They would even smuggle drugs to wealthy ski resorts in the mountains


They move keys and had the skis making drops on snowmobiles
They smuggled drugs using snowmobiles, dropping off drugs like mailmen


The plan was to expand, catch seven figures, release triggers
The ultimate goal was to make millions of dollars and use guns to maintain power


And live large and bigger than my nigga
They hoped to live extravagantly and outdo their rivals


Who promised his moms a mansion with mad room
Their rival promised his mother a huge mansion with plenty of space


She died and he still put a hundred grand in her tomb
Even after his mother died, their rival still spent a lot of money on her burial


Open wounds, he hid behind closed doors
He had emotional wounds from his mother's death, but didn't show it in public


And still organized his crime and drug wars
He continued to run his illegal activities and fight against his enemies


There's no cuffs that's tight enough
No police or legal punishment is severe enough to stop him


There is no niggas that's fuck with us
No one can mess with him or his team
