Gold

Only God knows how hard I've tried
How hard I've worked just to get to this point
And I'm not talking about my acheivements
How much money I've made off teaching
Made from gigs, royalties from realeasing
Songs; how many girls I've dated
Now; almost everything I did was
Wrong; next thing you know a decade's
Gone; gone, everyone else's gone
Nothing's as well as I've hoped
January left me with a broken heart
Realized old friends and I've grown apart
Saw the pic of our clique on Instagram
Some birthday party at some rooftop
Though I might from that's something I'm fine with
But it does hurt that I wasn't invited

Everything I do, I do it big

As far as music goes, still waiting
Day when I hear my song playing on radio
I imagined being in a Comfort taxi
Stuck in a peak hour traffic when
My track comes on and I hear my voice
Coming from the backseat speakers
Woah, that would've been surreal
There's no stopping dreams 'till our dreams are real
When my dues are paid
Catch me if you can like Tom Hanks
'Cause I'll be on tour and maybe
Just maybe I might get to open for Jay Z
or Kayne, or Eninem
with Grizzle, Kwizyne, and Requiem
VIP passes for you and you, too
Especially family at School of Music

Everything I do, I do it big
Things have changed, I knew those days they couldn't remain
But this feeling I feel I shouldn't contain
Excitement I don't quite feel enlightened
From times passed I've come out fighting
I lost some along the way but that's okay
Cuz they didn't understand my ways, it's a shame
But life goes on, I confide in a chosen few
The ones who know this smile is overdue
No tears in the rain, I hope he's listening
Rather share a beer than have a hit with him
Resolutions like January, a New Year
Thanks for the help when I was new here
The moon its on to you
A twilight show with rattle on the ones and twos
Everything I do, I do it big
All that glitters not gold (gold)
Don't be sad it ain't so (oh)
All that glitters (not gold, not gold, not gold)
