[Prod. by Vic, Mensa, Stefan Ponce, Peter Cottontale, with additional production by J. Hill & Om'mas Keith] [Intro] All that shines, Is not gold (x2) (Came up quick) [Verse 1] Yeah that's how it happened Started off slim Gained a lil weight rapping Now I'm with the big boys I'm with Hov out in New York City get M.I.A Wilin' out with Diddy bumpin' D'angelo Put your camera phones on I need a billion lights Twenty one, doubling through life Like I lived it twice Give your own advice n***a that's good advice And the street lights will take you there Take flight like Mike When I stop at the light Not even flashing lights behind me Can stop me on sight I see the vision Of people divided and put in prison For the government cheese We get love overseas Still bring that sh** home like we smuggling keys Dirty money, boy that's how I learned to stay awake n***as claim their bread heavy but they paperweight We know ya'll ain't 'bout what you say (Don't speak) No doubt, everyday I done struggled with doubts Still spit this sh** out Snakes in the gra** Real n***as in house Cause on the low the game so phony Last night I had a real life dream You wanna know what it feel like? Like you'd done got away with everything Then they get you for your tail lights sh** it's real life It's always something Sounds like the beats in the hallways bumping My n***a I'm grinding You remember how that made you feel? We in here and here to stay for real [Chorus] They say everything that glistens isn't gold I know that this sh** could come quick as it goes (It shows) The hoes, I never learning take it slow sh** cause we came up quick We came up quick Yeah, we came up quick than a motherf**er [Verse 2] Last night I saw so and so She ain't even know me though Love in the club, wanna dip with Lil Romeo Looking for a n***a bring in five or more figures She broker than a b**h But she don't vibe with broke n***as Like Jean Michel the SAMO, SAMO Hoes love games: Cubes, nintendos Dread heads with me Put your head on a halo If I say so But I'd rather speak to the peace Kinda hard when there ain't no peace in the streets Unless you got a piece Then I'm saying peace n***as lie through their teeth Head under their breath Yo, when the president speaks Why I feel like I'm deaf? Sorry officer I'm not cooperating I been too busy getting guapo-rated Poppin' pills, not the ones the doctor gave me It's okay, you have it your way [Chorus] They say everything that glistens isn't gold I know that this sh** could come quick as it goes (It shows) The hoes, I never learning take it slow sh** cause we came up quick We came up quick Yeah, we came up quick than a motherf**er
