Punch - Gold lyrics

[Intro] Just got a text, probably remind him on Socrates, from my IG post [Hook] All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold [Verse 1] Compulsive dreamer, pessimistic overthinker Never indulging reefer, seldom Hennesy drinker Wear my heart on my sleeve with a poker player's demeanour Balanced emotion, you rarely know what I'm thinking This is a special dedication, dedicated to streets that I was raised in Where Ray was slayed in, where his k**er gon' see the same fate that he did Poetic justification of youth's frustration Reap what you sow, small mind approach I'm digging deep in my soul, I'm tryna find quotes To help me see the silver lining in this hurricane We used to the rain, hoping to wash away these stains But blood don't come out of clothes, neither do bullet holes close even if them wounds heal My mind's forever exposed to them cold hills, somehow a n***a had hope still But I'm barely out the fire, in fact these flames is burning my back, creating permanent tattoos As I recall the book of Matthew, these are the last days and what have you I'm a firm believer I rarely practice what I preach yeh So if this falls on deaf ears and never reach ya I'm blood guilty beneath ya, before you cast one stone just know I need ya [Hook] All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold, n***a this world so cold Everything that glitters ain't gold, n***a this world so cold Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, n***a this world so cold [Verse 2] There's something I can feel Like pyramid energy feels for real I'm just tryna' keep it real Whatever that is 'Cos I could think a thought and make it happen It's no secret the law of attraction is written in our fabric The most basic interactions are accurate Maybe there's too far left for us to digest this song And in the midst of our doom I'm just tryna' consume They say [?] on the stars and the moon and the ancient Egyptian tombs What about these babies dying in the womb, that don't affect you? Tell the truth, I know I heard that she don't respect your youth I know you well versed in the sacred secrets and thirst knowledge for whatever breathes it You're on your poor righteous [?], wise intelligence, you rhyme with such elegance But the homie got k**ed, what's the relevance? They gave my uncle twenty-seven years with no evidence It's really real out here, n***as are getting k**ed out here Where's your content? How do you sleep, where's your conscience? How could you ever forget the projects? n***a my heart bleeds, stop it You can't disown with this home With that said I take them whenever I zone If it never I Rome, the empire's standing strong behind me On my side like my [?] Flesh on my flesh, it's embedded in me my IV 80s baby stuck in the 90s, ten khakis creased on top of Cortez Nikes White t-shirt with a dope dealer's psyche Swear air, ain't too many left that's like me [Hook] All my life, I been told everything that glitters ain't gold Now that I've arrived, I see these truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold, n***a this world so cold Everything that glitters ain't gold, n***a this world so cold Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, n***a this world so cold [Outro] n***a this world so cold n***a this world so cold Til my demise I'm in this world so cold, n***a this world so cold
