Hook:
Golden boy
How many times i motherfu*king told em boy
They keep stacking pressure i ain’t folding boy
And i’m really doing dreams i sold em boy
Golden boy
Fighting all my demons- i controlled em boy
You don’t wanna see the hand i’m holding boy
I know i got em pressed way this unfolding boy
Bridge 1:
I’m boutta pop my sh*t
And ain’t no stopping this
From me you her or him
So to the top i get
Verse 1:
Golden boy with the silver tongue
Long ways to go i know fasho cuz still i’m young
Locked it in my mind on what i will become
Studying the legends up until i’m one
Underground king, i been more trill then them
Some days i feel like god some days i’m feeling numb
I try to open up but stay concealing some
Cuz there’s too much not discussed that i’m still healing from
My heart’s spilling songs, i know my ceiling dumb
High so i ain’t chilling none, i feel unreal among
My people i’m lethal my parents birthed a killer son
I fight the fight where i won’t let you say the villain won
Verse 2:
Should be honored that you met me
From these clowns i feel the envy
Watch your mouth lil man don’t tempt me
I know they wish they could end me
But they weak they’ll never get me
Though respectful don’t expect me
To fu*king fake being friendly
I don’t need no one except me
So fu*k if they don’t accept me
I get amped and sh*t get deadly
To takeover b*tch i’m ready
I’m gon leave these b*tches empty
They get lazy i get busy
Ain’t forget they tried to skip me
I run marathons not sprints
So i yell rest in peace to nipsey
Bridge 2:
Iconic title track, it’s vital that
On this final lap
I done gave you so much game
That you’ll rewind it back
Verse 3:
Golden boy out the silver state
I don’t fu*king know much bout no silver plate
Really from the mud, don’t believe me give a fu*k
I just tell it how it was, cuz you still gon hate
I’m gon fulfill my fate until i feel we straight
They keep going off base and i might steal a plate
Although how i’m cooking, make a meal a day
But when you looking in the mirror, you see real or fake
Gon give back to the people imma build a place
Plotting property, my mind been in the realest state
Verse 4:
Embark with me on this journey
Where our worth is what we earning
Where we don’t get caught in gurneys
With no worries bout attorneys
Fire inside steady burning
Wave of real ones we returning
Look lil b*tch i know you heard me
Talk success or don’t concern me
I ain’t out here showing mercy
Moving with me you ain’t worthy
All that fu*k sh*t never hurt me
Cuz my mind on 2030
Twist my story they don’t know me
Tell em we ain’t fu*king homies
First to get in, last to leave
So i yell rest in peace to kobe
Bridge 3:
I ain’t got sh*t but this
I built it brick by brick
I’m snapping hit for hit
In control no hypnotist
Verse 5:
Golden boy done found the silver lining
Traded in my pain for these skills i’m finding
Dusting myself off until i feel i’m shining
Leader of my era i’ll be real defining
Need the greatest terms on any deal i’m signing
I’d pull them top boys cards, but they still declining
The details of my story i’ll reveal with timing
I just need to get my footing on this hill i’m climbing
Sipping to get loose but i can’t spill the lightning
Illmatic way i’m at it i’m that ill at rhyming
Verse 6:
You damn right i am the savior
The messiah i’m the greatest
Everybody claim relation
But my gold too pure for tainting
I’m this dope now what’s the future
Watch my freshman soph*more junior
Be a three-peat like them hoopers
With phil jackson as they tutor
Always gotta kill the outro
Only greatness out my mouth hoe
Every vowel on that south pole
Freezing tongues of all who doubtful
I’m just letting god speak through me
Give a fu*k bout how they view me
I’m the main star in my movie
So no option but to do me
Outro:
Cuz i’m the golden boy
And i and i and i told em boy
