Golden Brown
Skepta Chip & Young Adz Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, the boys are back in town
The group is reunited and they are unstoppable.

Yeah, the boys are back in town
The group is asserting their presence and taking over the scene.

She's addicted to the melanin
The woman is attracted to the group's dark skin complexion.

Golden brown, golden brown
Their skin tone is golden brown and attractive to others.

It's funny how the tables turn around
How things have changed and now they are on top.

She told me to leave, she's missin' me now
The woman wants them back now that they have achieved success.

Operator, turn up the sound
They want their music to be heard and recognized.

Mix me down, mix me down
They want to make sure their music is perfect and ready to play.

Youngers want my spot and couple olders hate me
There are others who want to take their place but they are hated by some of the older generation.

Cah I ain't goin' bald or grey, I'm young and wavy
They are confident in their youth and style.

Broke's somethin' I don't wanna ever be
They strive for financial success and security.

If you don't spend some P, that shit you'll never see
You have to spend money to see success and reap the benefits.

Power of the mind, uh, young, black, and bust quick
They are aware of the power of their minds and their attributes as young black men.

When most kids wear handcuffs before cuff links
Rather than being put in handcuffs by the police, they prefer wearing cuff links as successful businessmen.

Three-piece suit, I look like someone's husband
They dress professionally and confidently, like a man who exudes authority and success.

Don't let the suit fool you, I don't cuff links
Even though they may look the part, they do not conform to societal norms.

Naked white women, villa with my niggas
They are able to have the luxuries in life that they want, including women.

Chattin' to this chick, like, "How much was your titties?"
They are so wealthy they even ask women about their surgical enhancements.

She starin' at my Cuban jewelry, ain't a biggie
Their possessions don't faze them, as they have it in abundance.

I'm glorious, notorious up in my city (baby baby)
They are well-known and respected in their hometown.

Wooly in the winter 'cause the streets cold
They dress for the weather while still portraying their style and confidence.

But I don't roll with sheep, this here is three goats (legends)
They stand out from the crowd as true legends, not followers.

Ain't another trio that could test the guys (never)
No other group can compare or measure up to their success or talent.

Them man there can't even last the test of time (forever)
Other groups have failed to endure time and maintain success as they have.

I know you heard the he say and the she say
People talk about them and rumors circulate.

Heard I keep the sweets on me like it's cheat day
They have access to anything they want, including drugs.

Niggas in Paris, I'm Outkast, feel like 3K
They feel unique and original, like the duo Outkast member Andre 3000.

Double R whippin' on the Champs-Elysees
They have expensive cars and drive on the luxurious Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Just made another milli', big business, this ain't nothin' silly
They are successful and making money in a real and serious way.

Sittin' front row, got my brothers with me
They have come a long way and are now successful enough to sit front row at important events with their friends.

And when you see a real nigga, better take a picture
They are successful and worth remembering or taking a picture with.

Said I ain't a top boy, man, I beg to differ
They are confident in their status as top boys or successful men.

Takin' selfies with my air hostess
They are so successful they can befriend even their air hostess.

Bags checked in, still, I can't take no check
They still continue to work hard and hustle despite being rich and successful.

I grew up in the trenches, feelin' like I'm so blessed
They appreciate what they have achieved and feel blessed to have come from a difficult upbringing.

Couldn't walk in my shoes, could never take no steps, uh
Others could never understand or match their level of success.

Killed the game, lights out like it's bed time
They have dominated the music industry and are making a lot of money.

Came a long way from the yellow bricks and the petty crime
They have come a long way from their humble beginnings.

They said we can't smoke backstage
They are defying the rules and authority of the venue.

And I told 'em, "Take time when you're talkin' to the headline"
They are the main attraction and need to be respected and listened to.

This is a public service announcement
They want to make a public statement.

I'm just here to let you know, that the boys are back in town
They are here to remind everyone that they are back and better than ever.

And this will never stop, because cream always rises to the top
Their success will continue to grow and never stop, as the best always rise to the top.
