Silver & Gold

Silver and gold
Silver and gold
I'd rather have Jesus, than silver and gold
See the diamonds ain't gon do nothing but shine
And them watches only take away the time
I need something I can feel deep in my soul
I need more than just some silver and some gold
See I prayed for this and I begged to get to this day
Where I ain't worried 'bout if my rent gon' get paid
Where I ain't worried 'bout if that food gon' be on that table
Where I ain't worried 'bout if this rocky road gon' be stable
See the good thing is you survived all your worst days
Like that time when you ain't even celebrate your birthday
Cause you was down and out, and that depression hit you like bricks
Cause you dont feel like you do enough with raising your kids
See I been there and I seen it and I felt it
Just because you ask for some help, don't mean you helpless
And just because you do for your self don't mean you selfish
Gotta deal with all of those cards that you was dealt with
You can't be pouring into nobody else, when you empty
See it's more to life, then these Rolls Royce's and Bentleys
It's about your happiness, your close friends and your family
That's what I'm a tell them folks when I finally win me a Grammy, word
See the diamonds ain't gon do nothing but shine
And them watches only take away the time
I need something I can feel deep in my soul
I need more than just some silver and some gold
See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine
And them watches only take away the time
I need something I can feel deep in my soul
I need more than just some silver and some gold
The richest people be sad, the millionaires be so mad
How you buy so much stuff, but can't afford to be glad
I just need all the love, then I'm a need more then that
So I can give it away, and keep enough in the stash
Free my cousin in jail, he made a stupid decision
They gave him twenty to life, they shoulda gave him tuition
They need shrinks in the hood, instead of cops on the corner
She need her pops to come back, 'cause he been gone for the longest
And my best friend died, I swear I wish he could see me
He believed in my dreams, when no one else would believe me
Find a purpose in life, then find a reason to live
You get everything back, when you make a mission to give
It's not what's on you, it's what's in you
That's how you measure your worth
Be something for somebody else, before you leave off this earth
No matter what you tell yourself, just know that you matter
And no matter how hard it gets, just know it gets better
See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine
And them watches only take away the time
I need something I can feel deep in my soul
I need more than just some silver and some gold
See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine
And them watches only take away the time
I need something I can feel deep in my soul
I need more than just some silver and some gold
This album is for anybody that ever been through anything
Anybody, that ever been in love and loss
This for you
Rest in peace Geezy
