Gold
The Ivory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pre-chorus: good God good God why do you keep running babe running away from
Chorus: so make it a holiday of gold when bones can see that it'll run down it'll run down
Verse 2: the party is g-o-l-d and sweety go hard go hard you won't get far cause harlots seem very sweet until they need a drink-girl you're to easy.
The Ivory's song "Gold" is a colorful depiction of a party where everything is golden, including the dresses, drinks, and rings. The first verse sets the scene for the listener, inviting us to imagine a festive atmosphere where people have planned small weddings. The singer of the story is feeling the effects of the revelry, in need of a drink. The pre-chorus introduces a sense of urgency as the plea for someone to stop running away is repeated with pleading. The chorus expands upon the theme of gold and encourages us to make any moment a "holiday of gold," where our bones can feel the rush of life that will inevitably run down.
The second verse references the common trope of the "hard-working girl" who is easily taken advantage of. The party may seem full of fun, but it is also full of temptations that can lead to disappointment. The bridge elaborates on the idea that the singer is indulging in too much of a good thing, losing clarity and focus. The wish to escape and become a sailor seems like a way to outrun the temptation and confusion of the golden world.
Overall, "Gold" is an interesting take on the common themes of partying, temptation, and hedonism. The use of gold as a central metaphor adds an element of glamour and luxury to the proceedings, while the repeated focus on running and escaping suggests a darker side to the festivities.

The party is extravagant, but don't get carried away, because women who give in too easily may not be trustworthy.

I've had a lot to drink, and it's affecting my thinking. I wish I could tell the woman I left and became a sailor. My mind is consumed with the many drinks I've had, making it hard to even breathe.

Lyrics:
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Baby Keem]
Know what we heard (Let's go)
Fuck up the world (Oh alright)
I'm high with the birds
Lost 'bout two but I got one
I put me a bet, I'ma send that shit back one time
Put the money all on my head
Ride with my demon I said
They don't know what I said
They was sitting in the back with a fed
In a new city, pushing up my limit
I speed through the light, say "Fuck that red"
Did it for Ivory, did it for gold
Do it for fun, that's how I bled
[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
I put a diamond inside of my cross
Remember them days we was shopping at Ross
Shout out to YE, got me flying in private
I fly down from Houston and land at my island
I be on bars, I be makin' beats drop
Rock out the show, never gon' stop
Look at me fly like a bird in a flock
Wearin' thesе clothes, straight out the shop
I'm makin' thesе deals, I'm smoking this weed
I roll up a blunt, I spark up a seed
High in a tree, tripping with glee
Know this shit not for free
Fuck it I get it, for my daughter I'd flip it and kill it
I pray for the souls, I pray for my cousin
The way he gonna go get it, ah
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Baby Keem]
Know what we heard (Let's go)
Fuck up the world
I'm high with the birds (Let's go, let's go)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Baby Keem]
Do it for my family and brothers, that's it
The money I make never spent on a bitch
Already lost too much time to that shit
Now they only thing I give a hoe is my dick
Don't know if I'm gonna make it
But I put on my life that I'm gonna die rich
All of my records I'm living it, ain't cap on my shit like that kid
These motherfuckers shelfin' me for my race
Two-liter turbo, I smoked them away
Way too ahead, know I'm gonna be great
The greatest from America, out of the states
Already my influence making a break
Inspiring people to rap like Kanye
They gonna remember that I made a way
If you want my skill put a bag in my face
You might also like
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Baby Keem]
Know what we heard (Let's go)
Fuck up the world (Oh alright)

Ride with my demon I said
They don't know what I said
They was sitting in the back with a fed
In a new city, pushing up my limit
I speed through the light, say "Fuck that red"
Did it for Ivory, did it for gold
Do it for fun, that's how I bled
