Glitter Ain’t Gold Lyrics by Young T & Bugsey
Had to make a lane, you know I heard ’em say
Nothing which is for you tomorrow can be promised today
I can see my shot baby, I’m taking a aim
40 deep with all my brothers like Damon Wayans
Watch me turn the page, study and learn the game
Everything that glitter in the past ain’t gon glitter again
Don’t you lose yourself shawty, you going astray
Don’t you lose yourself shawty, you going astray
I’m as humble as it gon’ get, I’ma praise for every step
Heart filled, I’m blessed, the same when I had less
Drug lords and hustlers, I grew up righting the deffs
Still say it ain’t luck, roll the dice, shuffle the deck
See still land on me
Fortune in my dreams
Thou keep Raheim, still bleed if brother bleed
Gucci the 7th week, still study on inner peace
I still know that the heaven beneath my momma feet
Don’t chase no woman if she acting holier than thou
I’m kicking game, I gave equivalent to 100k thou’
Protect your trust, the one you love, the one that sell you out
I’m easy booling with my people, still 100 down
I wanna be there when all of my kids are born
My daughter, she makes me warm
I’m filtering out the noise
I lost a friend and a brother, lord knows I’ve mourn
Life is short so don’t look at no other grass, treat your lawn
Had to make a lane, you know I heard ’em say
Nothing which is for you tomorrow can be promised today
I can see my shot baby, I’m taking a aim
40 deep with all my brothers like Damon Wayans
Watch me turn the page, study and learn the game
Everything that glitter in the past ain’t gon glitter again
Don’t you lose yourself shawty, you going astray
Don’t you lose yourself shawty, you going astray
I know the culture of honest living is gone and dated
I’m giving gestures of good intentions to make a statement
I know the world forsaken
I wish your story didn’t end, I wish my brodie made it
I can’t ignore their faces
Want me to Charlamagne it, sit around and talk about it
I know the part I’m playing, so It’s hard to walk without it
I feel an air of uncertainty when we reasoning
Can’t look for peace in adversity, gotta seek within
I tell em’
Go ‘head, keep your applause
My shawty triple count the bread ’cause n***** come up short
I gave them chicken heads a leg, and now they disrespect of course
Got my heart of my sleeveless ’cause I’m ready for war
We made it out the jungle, now we talking album bundles
Don’t make me double dribble, help me do a tripple double
I know you instrumental
Way before I glee’d the bezel
Got your heart embezzled
I share your dream to settle
Hmm spiritual
Hm, let’s it out
If it go around
It gon’ come around, yeah
Pick your ounce
Make your sound
Sing it loud
Humble little child, yeah
I’m trynna make ya, make ya see it now
I’m gonna say it for the record now
Know you gonna get if it’s for ya now
Just appreciate your blessings now
