Lyrics

I remember when I started rapping
I could only think about gold teeth and minks like a P-I-M-P (Woah)
Flooded diamond rings, Miami Cuban links
And some shorties with no morals who gon' fuck by any means (Yeah)
'Cause they wanna be by **** who showing
They got some motion (Got the motion)
And I was so wavy, looking like the sixth ocean (I was)
Selling ludicrous dreams while sipping on the potion (Yeah)
Feeling like my grand plans gon' happen any moment
Then the moments started passing (Huh)
**** in my corner all slowly started asking (Why?)
"Are you really 'bout to go and make it off the rapping?
'Cause by now we thought we'd see you
Flying all around the Atlas (I know)
'Stead we see you got the job working
Retail, heard you top sales (Damn)
But that ain't what you sold us when you told us fairy tales, huh?"
You just another artist looking for some fool's gold (Yeah)
Fool's gold (Yeah, yeah)
Fool's gold
Fool's gold (Yeah)
Now the pen feels heavy and the lines don't hit the same
Homies telling me they wish I rapped like my old ways
So the doubt creeping in and my patience wearing thin
Feeling like I never started, but I'm somehow at the end
Ending on a high was supposed to be the vibe
Jet-setting for a mansion supposed to be the life
But now everything around me just ain't feeling right
Like my identity was put onto a roll of a dice
I couldn't believe I let myself slip into the trap of the industry
People who were friends are now looking like enemies (I swear)
When I spit the bars, I can feel me grinding in my teeth
Every step that I take is paramount urgency
Any sane man would take his exit and leave
But like a lab rat, I'ma always go for the cheese
You just another artist looking for some fool's gold (Yeah)
Fool's gold (Yeah, yeah)
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
