Golden
Tyler The Creator(OFWGKTA) Lyrics

Tyler you obviously have some fucking problems
There are some underlying issues that need addressing within Tyler's life.

Mom is getting jealous I see my manager more Than I see her before, I go on tour and it hurts I miss the days when this was fun but now it turned into work They getting legal, so now I gotta watch the shit that I blurt out
Tyler's mother is unhappy about the amount of time he spends with his manager compared to her. He misses the fun times and struggles with the legal implications of his career.

My friends are turning into opposites Because my life is turning into opposite of sloppy wrist And all the bitches who forget about me want to ride my dick Harder than the white kids that copy shit Ending it is all I fucking think about, that's the shit I think about
Tyler's friends are changing as his life becomes more disciplined. He feels like people only want to be around him when he is successful. He contemplates ending it all and constantly thinks about it.

All alone, bawling 'til my mothafuckin' eyes bleed See, he's a leader in person and smile, shit gets disgusting When there's no person around, talking discussion shit, man Fuck, I'm putting myself at a distance For instance, my best friend is now my fucking assistant
Tyler cries uncontrollably when he is alone. He puts on a strong leadership face when people are around, but it's hard to maintain. He's distancing himself from others and notes that his best friend is now his assistant.

Niggas saying "Free Earl" without even knowin' him See, they're missing the new album, I'm missing my only friend
People are advocating for Earl's release without knowing who he is. Tyler's only friend is missing and he is struggling with the situation.

Charbroiled nigga on these dark beats Nashes with the Nazis but it's normal what the cops see Awesome at his concert, but he never had a pop, see Mommy was a living single queen with a lot tee
Tyler is talented at making music but faces tough topics within his lyrics. Tyler notes that the police may turn a blind eye to certain things. Tyler has never had a popular song even though his concerts are great. His mother was a single mother raising him.

So while my wallets piling with some symbolic colored paper I lace her, 'cause she gave me such a lot at such a young age 20, why didn't she get that abortion? Probably 'cause that motherfuckin' embryo was morphing Into a Grammy winning schizophrenic fucking orphan Oops I meant bastard, a skinny ass disaster Mom works hard, still working on her masters Son lies about, taking classes at community college Just to record some bullshit he calls Bastard
Tyler is making money but taking care of his mother. He questions why his mother didn't have an abortion due to his mental issues. Tyler wins a Grammy as a schizophrenic orphan. Tyler's mother works hard to raise him while he lies about college to record music.

Start a fuckin' cult, clash his talents in a brash way Before he even had a mustache and cash And all I got was a fuckin' shitty article in Thrasher
Tyler starts a cult-like group and clashes with others using his talents at a young age. He is upset that he didn't receive more recognition for his work.

I'm not crazy, I'm a fucking table, I'm a fucking table!
Tyler is not crazy, he's simply a table.

I'ma grab the Nina and find a nice arena Cause I can't even choose between Ortega or Suprema And I'm not even human, I'm a body shaped demon With some semen in my sack and some problems in the back And a life that's fill with crap, and a finger filled with hate And a gat that's filled with love, now let opposites attract I can finally be one like a marriage in a church But this marriage has a hearse and the parents of the one That's getting married has a curse and it's made up inside of him Too late to reimburse but, wait it gets worse All the guests that's in the church, all decided to disperse So there was nobody who could stop the wedding with converse So they tied the knot, now it's too late to reverse This arrangement (Yes it is) and the nurse is amazed at the hurt That he was painting but it was obvious in all the photos He was paining, now a bunch of whispering immerse
Tyler struggles to choose between two things. He feels like he's not human but rather a demon-shaped body with problems. His life is full of problems and hate, but he also has love. Tyler feels like he's becoming one with something like a marriage, but it's a curse. His wedding guests leave, and he is stuck with the wrong person. The nurse notes his pain and everyone is whispering.

And then the nurse blurts (What the fuck is his problem, here, we have two doses to give him, here) Why didn't anybody ask him first? (I've been asking you this whole time) Because nobody gave a fuck (Someone gave a fuck Tyler And, uh, the person that gave a fuck was me See, you're not, going crazy, it's me, I'm your best friend Tyler I know everything, I know everything about you You've been helping yourself this whole time Your friends, they're just figments of your imagination Dr. TC, see Tyler, I'm your conscience I'm Tron Cat, I'm Ace, I'm Wolf Haley) I'm me
The nurse wants to give Tyler medication, but Tyler is upset that no one asked him what he needs. Someone does care about Tyler - his best friend. Tyler is not going crazy - his conscience is helping him. His friends are just his imagination. His conscience is named Dr. TC, Tron Cat, Ace, and Wolf Haley, but it's really just Tyler himself.
