Society - Gold Out West lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Andrew Bigs] They say my city streets used to be paved in gold The home of where they used to manufacture Silicon Big city, still easy to feel alone Surrounded by wealth, left to wonder why its not my own They make the iphones across town from battle zones Where they think government aid can fix a broken home I've never known what its like to live that life But I got folks across the street staring fights in broad daylight Little kids play on they bikes Down the street from the house that slangs white, maintaining through the night They say my city streets used to be paved in gold Now workers laid off and homes foreclosed This was the illest rhyme i ever wrote Cause I wrote it in a state of hope Politicians speeches like a bad joke Talking about the people but they really about that cash flow Had to let your a** know [Hook: Society, Maya Victoria] Now you know where I'm from (x3) There's gold out west but not enough for everybody So somebody's scheming somebody There's gold out west but not enough for everybody So somebody's robbing somebody [Sample] [Verse 2: Andrew Bigs] This the place where folks make bills like Bill Gates Move into private communities and build gates The land where corporate don't cooperate Hiding money in swiss banks Others in section 8 with they bills late Mansions in the hills, needles in these gutters We don't see the bigger picture, end up fighting with eachother I'm in my front yard lighting herb Hearing pop pop, is it gun shots or fireworks They say my city streets used to be paved in gold Now people living in tents with no where to go It's getting intense, City putting more cops on patrol Trying to get these violent streets controlled But really, they only locking up our family and our folks And I'm stressing yo, Moms receiving eviction notices While CEOs getting bonuses They give a f** about us, they about that cash flow Now your a** know [Hook] [Sample]
