Golden
Jill Scott Lyrics

Hey, oh, hey, yeah
The beginning of the song setting the mood and tone for what is to come.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiterating the positive and jubilant tone of the song.

I'm taking my freedom
The singer is taking control of her own life.

Pulling it off the shelf
She is no longer letting her freedom collect dust on a shelf.

Putting it on my chain
She is making her freedom an essential part of her being.

Wear it around my neck
She wears her freedom proudly for everyone to see.

I'm taking my freedom
Reinforcing the idea that she is in control.

Putting it in my car
Her freedom travels with her wherever she goes.

Wherever I choose to go
She is free to make her own choices.

It will take me far
Her freedom will take her on adventures and experiences she's yet to imagine.

I'm livin' my life like it's golden
She is living her life with a positive attitude and joy.

Livin' my life like it's golden
Repeated multiple times to emphasize the importance of the message.

I'm taking my own freedom
She reiterates that she is in control of her own life.

Putting it in my song
She expresses her freedom through her music.

Singing loud and strong
She sings from her heart and with conviction.

Grooving all day long
Her joy and freedom is evident in the way she moves.

I'm taking my freedom
Repeating the idea that she is taking control of her life.

Putting it in my stroll
She expresses her freedom through her confident and happy walk.

I'll be high-steppin' y'all
She has confidence and is proud of who she is and what she stands for.

Letting the joy unfold
She is open to new experiences and is enjoying life to the fullest.

I'm holding on to my freedom
Her freedom means too much to her to let it go.

Can't take it from me
No one can take away her freedom.

I was born into it
Her freedom is a part of her identity.

It comes naturally
Living a life of freedom and joy is natural to her.

I'm strumming my own freedom
She is the master of her own life and destiny.

Playing the God in me
She is confident in her spirituality and feels that she has divine guidance in her life.

Representing his glory
She is living her life in a way that honors her beliefs and values.

Hope he's proud of me
She wants to make sure she is living a life that aligns with her faith.

Living my life like it's golden
Repeating the central message of the song.

It really matters to me, oh
Living a life of freedom and joy matters a lot to her.

Living my life like it's golden
Reiterating the central message of the song.

(Hope he's proud of me)
She wants to make sure she lives up to her own expectations and her faith's expectations.

Living my life like it's golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
Repeating and emphasizing the central message of the song.

Living my life like it's golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
Continuing to repeat and emphasize the central message of the song.

Living my life like it's golden, golden, golden, golden
Continuing to repeat and emphasize the central message of the song.

Living my life like it's golden, golden
Continuing to repeat and emphasize the central message of the song.

Livin' my life, livin' my life
She is embracing and living her life to the fullest.

Livin' my life like it's golden
Reiterating the central message of the song.

Living my life like it's golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
Continuing to repeat and emphasize the central message of the song.
