Gold
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all right we got you
You shine like gold
You were right
Come to see all the girls
They agree you shine like gold
I can't speak 'cause you took the words from me
It's sweeter than the center bone
His body is all want, you got the whole room blowing
Everybody know
I can tell that your love is dancing
Magic touch I feel you inside me
And I wanna know, yeah I just gotta know
Can you light me up when we're alone
There's no light in this room
It's all right we got you
You shine like gold
You were right
Come to see all the girls
They agree you shine like gold
In the first verse, Tyga sets the scene of a dark room and how it doesn't matter because they have someone who shines like gold - likely a love interest. He continues with the metaphor of gold and how this person is right and agreed upon by other girls. In the second verse, he speaks directly to this person and how they have taken the words from him and are his weakness. Tyga describes their touch as magical and intimate, wanting to know if they can light him up when they're alone. Overall, the song is about the attraction and connection between two people and the power they hold over each other.
The theme of gold runs throughout the song, a clear symbol of the value and worth of the person Tyga is singing about. He compares their shine to that of gold, saying they light up a dark room and are adored by others. The person is described as having a "magic touch" and while Tyga is drawn to them, he also recognizes that they have power over him.
