Digging For Gold

I used to pray on Sundays
Back then, I used to care
Stay up all night and dance in the sun
Before the fear was there
Okay, I'm not living my best life
But it takes courage to crawl
I know what it means to be down on my knees
With no place further to fall

I'm just surviving by the skin of my teeth
But tomorrow's still another day
As long as I can put some food on the table
I know we're gonna be okay

Digging for gold
Digging for gold
Digging for gold

Why should you understand it?
Your mother pushed you through school
And if you like what I wear, I don't mind, we can share
And I like diamonds too

I'm just surviving by the skin of my teeth
But tomorrow's still another day
As long as I can put some food on the table
I know we're gonna be okay

Digging for gold
Digging for gold

I know if I keep on pushing
Then all the sweat and pain won't mean a thing
'Cause, deep down, I'm on to something
But first, I'll make my peace with where I've been (where I've been)

I'm just surviving
I'm just surviving, ooh, ooh (I'll get by, yes, I see gold)
Ah, I'm just surviving (yes, I will)
I'm just surviving (yes, I will)
Ooh, ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)

I'm just surviving by the skin of my teeth
But tomorrow's still another day
As long as I can put some food on the table
I know we're gonna be okay

I'm just surviving by the skin of my teeth
But tomorrow's still another day
As long as I can put some food on the table
I know we're gonna be okay

Digging for gold
Digging for gold
Digging for gold

Digging for gold
Your mama's gonna say just keep on trying
And your mama's gonna say just-
