Made of Gold
Yeah…
Ain't no sunshine where I came from.
Cold nights.
Heavy pressure.
Listen.
Dark nights, cold rain,
walking through the city,
Heart full of fire,
but the world ain't pretty.
Everybody got a story,
everybody got a mask,
I learned real young that respect ain't asked.
Back against the wall,
still I never froze,
Had a lot of fake friends,
now the circle stays closed.
They can whisper my name,
let 'em say what they say,
I'm too busy building while they wasting away.
Cold streets, black hoodie,
shadows on the wall,
Came from the bottom,
now I'm standing tall.
Pressure keeps coming, but I never fold,
Got a heart made of iron and a soul gone cold.
No fear, no sleep,
got a fire in my chest,
Every single setback only made me obsessed.
They wanted me down,
but I'm breaking that mold,
Cold streets made me—now I'm made of gold.
I don't trust easy,
I remember every scar,
Had to find my own light when the road got dark.
Eyes on the future,
but my past stays near,
Turned all that pressure into fuel,
not fear. I walk in the room and the whole vibe shifts,
Not because I'm dangerous—because I built this.
No handouts, no favors,
no playing pretend, If I call you family,
then I'm there till the end.
Lights low, bass hits,
heartbeat racing, Whole world watching,
still I'm elevating. Came through the storm,
came through the cold,
They tried to break me—couldn't take my soul.
Cold streets, black hoodie,
shadows on the wall,
Came from the bottom,
now I'm standing tall.
Pressure keeps coming, but I never fold,
Got a heart made of iron and a soul gone cold.
No fear, no sleep,
got a fire in my chest,
Every single setback only made me obsessed.
They wanted me down,
but I'm breaking that mold,
Cold streets made me—now I'm made of gold.
