Golden (feat. Anthony Kenney & A'leighsha)
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life
Ducking bullets on every corner
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life
City council meeting they got Saïd speaking
ABP receiving every time I'm leaving
See me on your news at 11
Mans ain't even holding a weapon
I cat walked from my perp walk
2 of my biggest foes I murked off
I aint even wake up
My girl telling me she heard shots
But just cause niggas shooting baby
That don't make the earth stop
Snakes in the grass but they lack venom
Pistol fit nicely in this black denim
I don't know shit when they ask questions
Prime ministers in black face, presidents impeached
You scared of them bullets or chemicals you eat
Do the knowledge
Yo they teaching hip hop at college
Only think of us as entertainment
And their text books removing our enslavement
Read beyond the pages my physical is ageless
Can't make a statement without conducted surveillance
So every day I'm waking,
Fajr prayer, calisthenics, I count blessings
Crossing off my checklist before I eat breakfast
They say I look more like a model than an activist
Yeah, I'm just laughing cause that's accurate
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life, oh
Ducking bullets on every corner
Am I waking up in the morning
I'ma make it because I'm golden
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life, oh
Ducking bullets on every corner
Am I waking up in the morning
I'ma make it because I'm golden
Narcissism my system for my catharsis nigga
Body shivers, no blizzards from out the arctic, nigga
They trying to white wash the scriptures even the darkest pictures
Get lightened and photoshopped, they call it art, it's wicked
Intelligent and violent, what they fear most
Looking at the beard it's clear that you can hear growth
Civil rights coloured dreams
Refugees singing theme music
I was in the classroom
Learning from them yutes that you deemed stupid
Threw up the smoke screen but we seen through it
(Yeah nigga we seen through it)
Lost my mom but I found passion
She ain't mind me on road, but I made her proud rapping
I'm older and I'm wiser, nigga I'm still bout action
So come in peace or leave in pieces
Get your crown smashed in
What you believe in
Chris Rock or crack rock
I-raq or long talk
When I talk the whole world rocks
Gotta make something that mean something
Cause they killing mandem off like we don't mean nothing
Left this rap shit alone cause of my principals
I aint like none of them waste yutes in this institute, uh
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life, oh
Ducking bullets on every corner
Am I waking up in the morning
I'ma make it because I'm golden
You're not made for this life
You're not made for this life, oh
Ducking bullets on every corner
Am I waking up in the morning
I'ma make it because I'm golden
