There's a mountain and it's mighty high
U cannot see the top unless U fly
And there's a molehill of proven ground
There ain't no where 2 go if U hang around
Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if U ain't gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold, mmm
There's an ocean of despair
There are people livin' there
They're unhappy each and every day
But hell is not fashion so what U tryin' 2 say?
Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if U ain't gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't gold, no no
All that glitters ain't gold, no no
There's a lady, 99 years old
If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul
Now that's a theory and if U don't wanna know
Step aside and make a way 4 those who want 2 go
Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold (Sold)
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told (Told)
What's the use of bein' young if U ain't gonna get old? (Old)
Even at the center of fire there is cold (Cold)
All that glitters (glitters) ain't gold, no no no no no
All that glitters ain't gold
Alright
All that glitters, all that glitters, all that glitters.. ain't gold
Na na na na na na na (Gold [x4])
Na na na na na na na (Gold [x4])
Gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold (Na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold (Na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain't gold, oh
Oh yeah
1 2.. 1 2 3, let's go!
(Na na na na na na na) [repeat]
U are now an official member of the New Power Generation
Welcome 2 The Dawn
Oh, the night is growing colder
And the stars have lost their shine
And I have been forsaken
By everything I thought was mine
For in the darkest hour
When the final story's told
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
You gave up your finest treasure
For the one you saw in me
But how could I know the measure
Of all you needed me to be
Though I came with sweet intentions
More my pockets could not hold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
I finally gave up counting
The ways you said I let you down
When I fell into that river of no return
And you watched me drown
Oh, I could sparkle like a diamond
Have silver line my soul
But no matter how I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
You looked so high and low for heaven
I tried so hard to show the way
But though I flew on wings of angels
My feet were always made of clay
I could come trailing clouds of glory
But you saw nothing to behold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
Generals and Majors ah ah
they're never too far
from battlefields so glorious
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
till once again victorious
Generals and Majors always
seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before are tired of being actionless.
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors
your World War III is drawing near
Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
away from men who made the grade
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
until the battle's lost or made
Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before, are tired of being in the shade.
Aiyyo Shorty, yo that's my word
Oh, y'all smellin y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold
Yo anybody get caught playin
Over here, I'm returnin em that's my word that they be blasted
Anything from two-twenty to one-fourty, that's mine
Y'all niggaz step the fuck off
Y'all niggaz ain't crazy for real
Yo, the fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
I'm deep down in the back streets - in the heart of Medina
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nigga and his boys - for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crashin of Dow Jones stock
I had to connect to cross seals, to catch more mil's
Than ho-bitches got birth control pills
I'm in the park, settin up a deal over blunt fire
Bum niggaz sleepin on the bench, they had em wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nigga name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got Vamp
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fucking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame, like Pan Am flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn, the
kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block, and played look-out
For playing predator with a glock, he should have took out
No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clip that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
The fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload,
Product must be sold to YOU
It's mandatory that
I supply all my troops with mega firearms
Big apes, and spread em out like crops on a farm
to get CREAM, sometimes they repaint the scene
Like the last episode on gates and other niggaz
plant bombs til the smoke from the blast becomes thick
and flows through all they knew, he's gun sick
His glock clicks, like high-heeled shoes on parquay floors
Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
Filthy foul, shoveling dirt, he's out to hurt
For instance, chop off hands, attack worth
His idols would lock down airports and next extort
some import, catchin ten percent of what the fiends snort
Up in the ski resorts, up in hills
They move keys and had skis making drops on snowmobiles
The plan was to expand, catch seven figures, release triggers
And live large and bigger than my nigga
Who promised his moms a mansion with mad rooms
She died, and he still put a hundred grand in her tomb
Open wounds, he hid behind closed doors
And still organized crime and drug wars
The fiends ain't coming fast enough
There is no cut that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clips that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
The peers that come is tight enough
There is no niggaz that's fucking up
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
i think i've been infected with the flu
once again bordems got me feeling blue
sometimes in this life you've got to cut the crap
sit down for my rights cuz i don't care
to do what everybody else would do. i'm fine right here
i voted once but i didn't win. i'll never vote again
people say i should give a damn
people say that i should respect this land
but i say no way i wont compromise
either way my life remains the same
its great, come join me at the lake it's freshly stocked
no work just play leeching off the state all day
clears my mind
they say this is the land of the free
to me that means i have the liberty to sit for
my rights cuz i don't care
to do what everybody else would do i'm fine right
here
i voted once but i didn't win i'll never vote again

Verse 1- Buckshot
Who you all been waiting for? Buckshot
Who can rock a nigga's knot? Buckshot
Get you high like chocolate? Buckshot
When it comes to this, I never stop
Drip drop, hip hop
'Cuz you know I'm on top of my job
Makin' it hard, handeling my business on the boulevard
La, there's so many people trying to be equal
Shorty all embarassed 'cuz he drive a Regal
It's a thugged out bucket
As long as you make money when you hustle, fuck it
It's the next man thought to bring you down
If you ain't benefiting, then you better slip in
a couple words that'll set 'em straight
'uz carrying the weak niggas on your shoulder is only dead weight
So, pick your head up when you get up
And if you're feeling what I'm saying
let me see you throw your fist sup
Chorus-Buckshot
Throw your hands in the air like this (3x)
Put your hands in the sky like this
Throw your hands in the air like this (4x)
Verse 2-Buckshot
The bomb was set to be lose
In a couple of minutes, don't be alarmed
It's a hands on experience, throw your hands up
Let us, the bettors, niggas put your grands up
What you about to see is reality, baby
Check the stats, and see if you can hang with me
Black Moon, 92, was set to blow
Smif 'n Wessun '93 and '94
Fab 5, '95, and nigga we strive
To keep it tight and keep this Duckdown shit alive
Ain't no surprise, my niggas put the real in ize.
You better open up your motherfuckin eyes
Chorus-Buckshot(1x)
Verse 3- Buckshot
After this, I smoke a fat Bob Marley
Into Bob Marley, slow down hardly
Thumping is a thug's world
I recognize 'cuz I'm living in the bug world
I got a letter from my girl in D.C.
She put me on the scoop about bitches around me
All of a sudden, I peeped the ones fronting
It be in the front line of mind
But in the end, there's always time
I'm just the type to stay original
Fuck biting off the next man, it's pitiful
P.O.S.: power over suckers
In this rap game, my nickname be dirty chuckers
Mr. Buckshot, rock the triathalon of rap
Squeezing like a python to break your back
Check the facts for the illy verse
About reality, you want another one?
I need your hands first
[hook]
so we made it to this ? down the road
and we picked up lots of chicks and pots of gold
how i made it out with my soul
[verse 1]
ashtrays and cigarretes, last days, indigenous people
these are adventures of young black millionaires
i am the voice of the meek and underprivileged
the smell of success, i want y'all to get a whiff of this
on the move like black slaves through the wilderness
i write it, and still get invited to white christmases
when i was born, three wise men came to visit us
one a hustler, one a king, one a prisoner
they cracked the bottle then started giving gifts
you from chicago, we want you to deliver this
show the walking dead who the truly living is
separate the fake from who the real reals is
hot tub time machine, back to the sybaris
hats from liquor stores to avoid syphilis
frivolous spending, drunk nights with storybook endings
i guess it's my addiction to women
i was in france, hennessey blending
writing my own scripts like i'm tennessee williams
now it's new beginnings like a born again christian
on the mic, victorious, story is redemption
[bridge]
i'm sitting at the top, i'm not alone
i'm standing here with my soul
[verse 2]
feed our souls with two fish and five loaves
teach a man to cook it for survival
my dad said it rained on my arrival
now a storm of the brain make these guys drive slow
like i was 5-0, but my creed's apollo
on the rock and roll with the coldest live show
for those before i came, i'm made the song cry for 'em
lyrical gymnast, you set the bar low
this is that kilimanjaro, like twitter you can follow
it may be hard to read like hieroglyphics
written on the walls of cairo, check my youth revival
truth inside flow, i stand like em did with dido
crashed parties, any live yo
is libel to get banged like things that rival tribal slang
from the, killed the game and watched it die slow
ali mc, i fight for more than the title
your idol
Gold
Why are you shaking and breaking apart
Why are you hustling and bustling your heart
And why are you hurting with seat on your brow
Why to you persist to resist peace right now
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
There's nothing like cheating, defeating yourself
Concealing your thoughts like a book on a shelf
Just wanting for someone to come and take you down
To open you up so you know that you've been found
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
There's nothing like losing your way from the road
Bone tired and weary in the dreary fog and cold
And just as a phantom seems to frighten you to death
When white wings surround you as you take your last breath
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing
Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there
Turn the music into gold
My buddy Jim Bash
He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands
As he's tapping in the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
California girls are the prettiest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
see my silly watch
every second lost, hmm
lost in a strange arcade
got drunk on girls night out
If they're the good years, I don't know
what you call the hard years
If they're the good times, I don't know
what you call the hard times
just let me know
if you can see the gold
just let me know
if can you see the gold?
lay these knuckles bare
strip the varnish back
did we ever use to kiss?
did I ever get you off? If they're the good years, I don't know
what you call the hard years
If they're the good times, I don't know
what you call the hard times
I don't see the gold in this
I don't see the gold
the good years, I don't know
can't hang it on a wanderin' star
can't hide it in a wanderin' heart
can't blind it with a wanderin' eye
the good years, I don't know
ah no
I wonder if when all is done
Anyone heard my voice
But from the start we have no choice
Our journeys just begin
I'll never know if I was right
Did I fight hard enough?
When the battles grew too rough
Should I have given in?
But here I stand and swear to you
I did the best that I could do...
I know my voice was just a whisper
But someone may have heard
There were nights the moon above me stirred,
And let me grab a hold
My hands have touched the gold
My hearts been driven by extremes
Blind with dreams, tight with fear
But still God knows that I was hear
And I was so alive
And now I lay the past to rest
For in the end I did my best
You have to live the life you're given
And never close your eyes
You hold on, and stare into the sky,
And burn against the cold
For any moment, you might find the gold!
And there was joy
Through it all
And I am standing tall
I know my voice was just a whisper
But someone must have heard
There were nights the moon above me stirred,
And let my light take hold
I'd rode across that sky
And once I touched the gold
Here in my own two hands
I once had the gold
Some people never recognise it
Though it's right before their eyes
And shines in all its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter all the time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When it's standing right in front of you
I'm gold babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don't know
Pure gold babe
You're looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn't let go
Oh no!
Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those
Who don't know what to look for
(They ain't never gonna find it)
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times it's cast aside
By those who are just unsure
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you would of recognised by now
Something so special so true
When she's standing right in front of you
All the things you failed to see
Separated you from me
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside yeah
Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I don't have to even try
Und auf dem Lotterbett meiner Luxusyacht
liegst du wach und zitterst die ganze Nacht.
Da ist keine Seele, die noch zu dir hält.
Und ich hab Legionen in der ganzen Welt.
Der Wisch, den du unterschrieben hast,
erinnerst du dich nicht mehr?
Liegt er nicht in einem Safe
in Casamia am Mittelmeer?
Refrain:
Mein Name ist Gold,
mein Name ist Geld,
mein Name ist Ruhm und Macht.
Und jeden Morgen bevor du aufstehst
hab ich dich umgebracht.
Du scheinst zu leben,
du scheinst zu scheinen,
aber du leuchtest nicht.
Du bist am Ende,
auch wenn die ganze Welt
heute noch von dir spricht.
In meinem schwarzen Bentley rast du die Küsten entlang
und sehnst dich nach Rettung vor dem Untergang.
Niemand kommt und hält deine blutige Hand.
Ich hab meine Armeen in jedem Land,
ich kauf dir Sex und Headlines,
bring mir Dichter und Denker,
kauf Intelligence Agencies.
Bring mir Richter und Henker.
Refrain…
Du bist immer noch derselbe nach soviel tausend Jahren,
vielleicht solltest du endlich nach Hause fahren.
Pack deine Koffer, nimm all das Gift,
nimm die Millionen, ab in den Lift
(abwärts).
Mein Herz ist aus Marmor,
eiskalt und glatt.
Ich geb dir, was du brauchst,
aber du wirst nicht satt.
Refrain…
Stand on up and take a bow
There's something there and its showin'
There's no need to look around
You're the best we got goin'
Shout out to the dreams you'll chase
Shout out to the hearts you'll break
Nothing's gonna stop you now
I guess you'd better be goin'
You'll never be far
I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart
You're here
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you've got is
Gol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol old, I know, you're gold
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I know, I know
I don't need the stars in the night
I've found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Gol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol old, I know, you're gold
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I know, you're gold
It won’t take long to get
When you feel like you're soarin'
So write it all and don't forget
You gotta tell us your story
Shout out to the friends back home
Shout out to the hearts you've known
You gave them nothing but the best
Yea, and you can tell them your story
You'll never be far
I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart
You're here
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you've got is

Gold around his neck (8 ball rollin)

Listen up brothers its the rhyme I can't repeat

Life is pretty tough yet goes kinda rough
stealin and your dealin but you just can't get enough
Now your crying cause my rope is 20mm fat
Your stealin gold emblems down at fredrick cadillac
Walking round san fran rippin up the set
Homeboys on the corner ask us where we rock next
I'm not in town to smoke joe if you broke you kid
We're back in san fransisco and we're looking for the gold
Saw the rock man and we tail his benz
He drove pile street to where the charlie cars end
He sipped his soda pop, came to a complete stop
Looked over to the left it was a...gold shop
Yo baby check out this big gold nugget ring
Walked into the shop and I had to stare
This freak was in the corner with the long blond hair
I knocked her out the way cause she was standin in my vision
I saw this gold rope and my haragi started fishin
Walked up to the counter and we hit the bell
We all had money for the big gold sale
From back behind the counter came the big gold mines
I slamed kinda funny ?????????
Put your money down that's nothing to me
Got the real rockman buying me jewelry
So they acting like a 20 in americanly
The AMG kick on my 516 mercedes
So I reached into my pocket and I pulled thick bank
I would of bought the store but my bank just sank
I know I got points cause my gold shines bright
Gonna sport it to the solar system saturday night
My haragi's up next for the big gold deal
Flipped them presidents and cold got ill
Smile on his face with a grand in his hand
Bought a turkish gold rope with the 30 inch span
Kid sensation was the next at bat
Bought a big nugget watch face up a cadillac
He saw this gold rope and said how much for that jikoby
told him 700 dollars everbody said owwwwww
So gary kid came over as the kid count bank
Gave him 14 50's and his face stayed blank
I grabbed the sack of gold and g-honey told em bye
We'd like to stay and kick it but we can't we gotta fly
Break
We left the gold shop kinda broke but happy
Promoter put us up in an '86 caddy
Cross the golden gate and headed for the napa valley
No liter in the car because we threw it in the alley
Everybody's trippin off of mix a lot's crew
Pose fresh dipped all feelings are blue
Caddy pushin 80 like a big black rocket
We're looking for a pose with no money in their pockets
We made a right turn theres the pose on the left
Before we get baby just remember we're def
My haragi took the bank roll Larry took the car
Kid Sensation had a plan thinking he was a superstar
Step aside kid I control this jam
You are my partner and here's my scam
I'll take the homeboys you take the skeezer
The boys got gold but they ain't got filas
Larry made a move with the black briefcase
5000 dollars worth a fila in your face
They ain't got money but they had a lot of dope
I said I don't want drugs just give me your rope
To sell a suitcase of filas boy it ain't no thing
Just give me that gold that includes all rings
My haragi snatched the gold out the homegirls nose
Man we would of took her bra if the sucka was gold
All or Nothing Now or Never
We can make it happen We can it all Right
Time is Coming Everlasting
Don't you wanna see it when we make it world wide
All or Nothing kase ni nabiku
Yokoreyota chakku ga kimino chizusa
Donnatokimo moumayowanai
Kimio dakishimeru Baby, All Night
All I have wanted was another chance to chat
What was my wish of start to another and there wor
Ld that Lift me to the sky
All I have needed was to get back on the track
Twilight in my Eye, then I can see for seven million miles
Twilight in my eye tonight
Dreams become clear, the fog gets thicker every time I inhale
Stars look the same to me
Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
It's a way to the heaven, don't try to feel too much
Just let the morning dry your eye
Just say, lalalalalalalalalalaalalalalalalala....
Let it all in, don't feel afraid of dying just give in
Let it all in tonight
Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
It's a way to the heaven, don't try to feel too much
Just let the morning dry your eye
And I say,
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free

Intro: Method Man
Aiyyo Shorty, yo that's my word
Oh, y'all smellin y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold
Yo anybody get caught playin
Over here, I'm returnin em that's my word that they be blasted
Anything from two-twenty to one-forty, that's mine
Y'all need to step the fuck off
Y'all niggaz ain't crazy for real
Chorus: Genius
Yo, the fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
Verse One: Genius
I'm deep down in the back streets - in the heart of Medina
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nigga and his boys - for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crashin of Dow Jones stock
I had to connect to cross seals, to catch more mil's
Than ho-bitches got birth control pills
I'm in the park, settin up a deal over blunt fire
Bum niggaz sleepin on the bench, they had em wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nigga name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got Vamp
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fucking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame, like Pan Am flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn, the
kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block, and played look-out
For playing predator with a glock, he should have took out
Chorus:
No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clip that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU.. yo
Fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
Verse Two: Genius
It's mandatory that
I supply all my troops with mega firearms
Big apes, and spread em out like crops on a farm
to get CREAM, sometimes they repaint the scene
Like the last episode on gates and other niggaz
plant bombs til the smoke from the blast becomes thick
and flows through all they knew, he's gun sick
His glock clicks, like high-heeled shoes on parquay floors
Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
Filthy foul, shoveling dirt, he's out to hurt
For instance, chop off hands, attack worth
His idols would lock down airports and extort
some import, catchin ten percent of what the fiends snort
Up in the ski resorts, up in hills
They move keys and had skis making drops on snowmobiles
The plan was to expand, catch seven figures, release triggers
And live large and bigger than my nigga
Who promised his moms a mansion with mad rooms
She died, and he still put a hundred grand in her tomb
Open wounds, he hid behind closed doors
And still organized his crime and drug wars
Chorus:
Fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clips that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
The peers that come is tight enough
There is no niggaz that's fuckin up
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold, to YOU
Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
these are my salad days
slowly being eaten away
just another play for today
oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you
there's nothing left to make me feel small
luck has left me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructible
always believe in, because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructible, always believe in
after the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
remember we were partners in crime
it's only two years ago
the man with the suit and the pace
you know that he was there on the case
now he's in love with you, he's in love with you
love is like a high prison wall
but you could leave me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructible
always believe in, because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructible, always believe in
(musical interlude)
for love is like a high prison wall
and you could leave me standing so tall
Gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructible
always believe in, because you are
gold
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could've learned
you're indestructible
Intro: Method Man
Aiyyo Shorty, yo that's my word
Oh, y'all smellin y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold
Yo anybody get caught playin
Over here, I'm returnin em that's my word that they be blasted
Anything from two-twenty to one-forty, that's mine
Y'all need to step the fuck off
Y'all niggaz ain't crazy for real
Chorus: Genius
Yo, the fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
Verse One: Genius
I'm deep down in the back streets - in the heart of Medina
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nigga and his boys - for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crashin of Dow Jones stock
I had to connect to cross seals, to catch more mil's
Than ho-bitches got birth control pills
I'm in the park, settin up a deal over blunt fire
Bum niggaz sleepin on the bench, they had em wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nigga name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got Vamp
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fucking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame, like Pan Am flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn, the
kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block, and played look-out
For playing predator with a glock, he should have took out
Chorus:
No neighborhood is rough enough
There is no clip that's full enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU.. yo
Fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload
Product must be sold to YOU
Verse Two: Genius
It's mandatory that
I supply all my troops with mega firearms
Big apes, and spread em out like crops on a farm
to get CREAM, sometimes they repaint the scene
Like the last episode on gates and other niggaz
plant bombs til the smoke from the blast becomes thick
and flows through all they knew, he's gun sick
His glock clicks, like high-heeled shoes on parquay floors
Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
Filthy foul, shoveling dirt, he's out to hurt

Gold, finger itches
Gold, in the hair
Gold, you have to have
Gold, all for yourself
Gold, full train of it
Gold, rob the train
Gold, murder in the train
Gold, get some gold
Gold is the sweat of the sun
Give me some gold.
It glitters,
Gold, soft and clear(?)
I'm searching for gold
I need gold just to see
Never seen it before
Indication of gold
Do I see gold?
Bloody fingers!
Dig! Crawl! Dig!
Gold is the sweat of the sun
Give me some
Gold!
I continue to dig into the earth.
Torn fingers, bloody fingers..
There is a sun in the sky
Nothing has changed
And gold, garden of the sun..
Give me gold!
E> I'm still searching for gold
E> I need gold
And I have to have a chunk of.. gold
E> no indication of gold
Just a little piece of gold for me!
E> In the core of the earth
E> I see the glow, let it be gold
Gold
Stay with me forever and a day
If I could be near you for a lifetime
I'd never want for anything
Hearing your voice is like icicles down my spine
I'm touching your warm skin
Starts electrical storms through my mind
You put a strength in me
I knew somethin' was missin'
Just take me everywhere you go
This girl's in heaven
Feelin' this way about someone like you
Couldn't be clearer or dearer or so overdue
So sure, so pure
So much what I was lookin' for
Here you are fillin' up my life, my life
You put a strength in me
I knew somethin' was missin'
Just take me everywhere you go
This girl's in heaven
Life is light and everything around you when you ask why
Everything I touch is gold
Couldn't be a better place to be then just around you
No no no no no no no no
You put a strength in me
I knew somethin' was missing
Just take me everywhere you go
Oh oh oh oh oh
You put a strength in me
I knew something was missing
Just take me everywhere you go
[Greg Nice]
G-O-L-D gold and I've been told
It's too hot to hold you can get it sold
In the summer heat in the winter cold
Fourteen karat gold won't mold, now
Bust the sketch that I'm about to tell
I saw a dookie rope downtown on sale
Was it Wall Street or was it Canal?
Anyway I'm steppin out in style
Yo fellas there's a treasure trunk (where?) Up in the attic
(You mean Johnson-ohnson-on?) No-no-no-no, twenty-four karat
(How we get it?) What you mean we? (Aiyyo man you changed)
But around my neck, I got the rope chain
It's Greg Nice and I'm gonna go far
I get my hair cut, at the Superstar
We're talkin bout G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D
[Smooth Bee]
G-O-L-D gold I'm twenty-two years old
And uhh, I never fold, I'm livin my role
as a diplomat, and my pockets are fat
My rings are eighteen karat skeezer, and it's like that
Went to the jeweler, had a fifty G budget
Bought a turkish rope, a medallion made of nuggets
You can look, you can touch it, but don't smudge it
Milky, milky, I'm so silky
I met this cutie and her name was Judy
Judy was top choice, had golden brown eyes
Def lips, and fly thighs
Jet black hair, her complexion clear
And her derriere, had savoire-faire
Big gold teeth in her mouth
Mmmmmmmm - Judy was from down South
She had a warm heart, that could get real cold
Judy was all about, G-O-L-D gold
[Teddy Ted]
Now, Teddy Ted, and I must prevail
I buy my gold by the pennyweight scale
On Thursday I got a check in the mail
I bought a solid gold 500 S-E-L
I tour the world, my fortune untold
On the wheels of steel, sportin dookie gold
[Nice & Smooth]
We're talkin bout G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D
G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D G-O-L-D
[Greg Nice]
We like real gold, patent seal gold
(Not like some gold) which is slum gold
G-O-L-D gold, and I've been told
It's too hot to hold, you can get it sold
June Luv, was rockin the stupid gold
Scott LaRock, was rockin the stupid gold
Red Alert, rocks, stupid gold
Chuck Chillout, rocks, stupid gold
And Marl, rocks, stupid gold
Special K, rocks, stupid gold
Schoolly School, rocks, stupid gold
Hackensack, rocks, stupid gold
(??), rocks, stupid gold
Boogie Down Bronx, rocks, stupid gold
Jungle Brothers, rocks, stupid gold
Ultramagnetic, rocks.. ("feels so good")

Give me a heart
White like snow
Give me a heart
Pure as gold
Give me a heart
White like snow
Give me a heart
Pure as gold
You know I've been searching
High and so low
For a love so real
A love like gold
Make it
Make it gold
With the sun in your eyes
Take me to where you are
With the wind in your hands
Show me the way that you feel
Give me a heart
White like snow
Show me a heart
Pure as gold
I can't help this feeling I feel
My heart's spinning around
Turning, turning, turning
It hurts so bad
To know what I need
Take this love of gold
Put it inside
With the sun in your eyes
Take me to where you are
With the wind in your hands
Show me the way that you feel
Show me the way
Show me the way that you feel
Show me the way
Do you believe like I do?
Do you believe like I do?
Do you believe like I believe in you?
Give me a heart
White like snow
Give me a heart
Pure as gold
I climb into the heavens
I dive into the seas
Show me this place
Is it inside me?
With my heart all in pieces
Can you make it whole?
Shall I join the dance of fools
In the city of gold?
Do you, do you, do you
Do you, do you believe
Do you, do you believe in me?
You were walking on the moon,
Now you feeling low.
What they said wasn't true,
You're beautiful.
Sticks and stones break your bones,

You're one in a million.

You shine brighter.

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Ah, the California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one's a song in the making
Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody
The story is there for the takin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
I don't care about the nice car you've got
I don't give a damn about your stunning watch
I'm just living for today
it's just another day
you're worried about your job afraid of what you've got
but life is to short to worry and to rot
you've got to enjoy your day by day
and lay down in the sun
have fun
never mind of what's going on
and now
you're gonna be the only one
to live your life of gold now say
tomorrow I don't care
my friends will still be there
I'm kinda coco b.ware
just want to live my life in peace
I don't care about political debates
the money that I save italian hit parades
I'm just living for today
it's just another day
you're acting like a slave you're feeling like you're old
I wanna see the world before I'm getting bald
I've got to enjoy my day by day
and lay down in the sun...
tomorrow I'll be gone
my friends will come along
that's why I sing this song
When I got to the golden city
Most of the gold was gone
By that time I had some questions
So I flagged down a race-car bum
He said "Sonny I don't know where it's going,
But I can show you where it all comes from"
And he mopped his red forehead and he pointed
Straight into the setting sun
And people let me tell you
That what I then did saw
It sent such a shock to my system
That I almost fell down dead on the floor
'Cos the sun had a big chunk missing
About 24 carats wide
And I stared into that hole in the golden sun
And you wanna know what I saw inside?
I saw a giant toothpick factory
And it made my very soul feel sick
'Cos when I say I saw a toothpick factory
I mean I saw a factory made out of toothpicks
And that factory was a-hoppin' and a-jumpin'
And a-roaring and letting off steam
And you know that that ain't all now
Let me tell you what else I seen
Behind the factory was a giant mutant monster
With sixty-seven seperate tails
And each one was a-wiggling and a-waving
And each one as long as twenty-three whales
And at the tip of each towering tendrils
Were a dozen tiny pencils of lead
And each word they wrote was in a different language
And when you put them all together they said
"You who have arms to wrestle
And you who have wars to fight
And you who have chips on your shoulders
Must now line up and stand to my right
But you who are meek and lawful
And you who are soft and kind
If you don't want to see something awful
Run and get yourself a rock to hide behind
'Cos these colours are just a signal
And these colours are just about to fade"
And when I read those words I shivered
And I saw exactl what the factory made
Out of a little doorway
At the end of a conveyor belt
In the centre of a ring of fire
Half the size of a postage stamp
Were a million household items
Packed into a metal Dukes Of Hazzard lunchbox
And they were all shut and sealed and fastened
With a gold combination lock
And just about every minute
Another one came right out of the hole
And crashed to the earth beneath it
And landed in a lump of coal
And every poor coal miner
Who happened on a golden stone
Was made both richer and wiser
And had to murder someone to get it home
And then I had to close my eyelids
And I had to turn my face away
The race-car man was crying
And I heard him angrily say
"I suppose you want a glass of water
I suppose you wanna eat something warm"
I said, "Yes but not with you sir"
And I ran off to be alone
And I sat under a bridge and I wondered
What exactly all of these things were
And I found I could not yet remember
What I thought they were before
I just want something even
Something that won't cause no fuss
The sun can go about its business
And leave the rest to us
And we'll call it even
Evererything we touched was golden
Everything we did was right
Every little single moment
Could carry us trough every night
Now everything I see reminds me
Of all that is said and done
If you care to look around
Then you'll see me going down
Can't you hear me calling?
Can't you see me falling?
I am lost without you here
Always and forever
All I can remember
Echoes of the days when
Everything we touched turned into gold
Don't you try to fix what's broken
No one else can take your place
Trying to save myself from choking
Just wish that I could see your face
Now everything I see reminds me
Of all that is said and done
If you care to look around
Then you'll see me going down
Can't you hear me calling
Can't you see me falling
I am lost without you here
Always and forever
All I can remember
Echoes of the days when everything we touched turned into gold
I'm calling
I'm falling
I'm lost without you in my arms
I'm calling
I'm falling
Can't you hear me calling?
Can't you see me falling?
I am lost without you here
Always and forever
All I can remember
Echoes of the days when
I been up and down this lonely town
Never found what I was needing
Running out of leads and possibilities
Never thought I'd see just what I'm seeing
It took a while to get through
All of my bad luck
Ever since I met you
I feel like I've just struck gold
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
Your angel face
How you say my name
That magic way, your kisses linger
That sexy laugh
And that look you have
It's all got me wrapped around your finger
I don't wanna fall asleep
Don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause all night long I wanna keep
Watching you shine like gold
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
Yeah, it took a while to get through
All of my bad luck
But ever since I met you
I feel like I've just struck gold
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
It's gold
God, everything you do
Is making me fall in love with you
There’s no light in this room
It’s all right we got you
You shine like gold
You were right
Come to see all the girls
They agree you shine like gold
I can't speak cause you took the words from me
You are my weakness. It's sweeter than the center bone
His body is all want, you got the whole room blowing
Everybody know
I can tell that your love is dancing
Magic touch I feel you inside me
And I wanna know, yeah I just gotta know
Can you light me up when we'r alone
There’s no light in this room
It’s all right we got you
You shine like gold
You were right
Come to see all the girls
Verse 1: the party is g-o-l-d and everyone has planned their small weddings this scene I see a dress a drink a golden ring and I... I need this drink now

They are crazy, you shine like gold
[Jahron B - Verse 1]
Hey baby,

Lady and I know this might make no sense
But you’re the first girl I met
Baby girl you’re shining like a star
Come and give me some of that gold

I’mma come and give you some love
‘cause you know that only you girl
I can’t lie in my world, oh no

[Jahron B - Verse 2]
Hey baby,

I can see you shine from afar
I’ma come and give you some love
‘cause you know that only you girl
I can’t lie in my world, oh no.
In the still of the night, take my hand and I will guide you
Where you never ever dreamed, you would feel so right
When the heartache is over, look over your shoulder
You see just how far you've come
When it's all said and done, just remember the voice from within
Saying you are the One
You're Gold, live it up to your Dreams
Live it up to your Love, giving up all your things unstarted
Gold, live it up to your Soul
Live it up to your Hope, giving up all your tears and sorrow
Take a chance, try to fly, spread your wings, maybe they will see you
Like a gleaming shining star, be a mend to your Light
With the thunder and lightning, it seems so exciting
But never forget who you are
For the chaos and mayhem, it seems so frustrating
But always remember your Heart
You're Gold, live it up to your Dreams
Live it up to your Love, giving up all your things unstarted
Gold, live it up to your Soul
Live it up to your Hope, giving up all your tears and sorrow
You're Gold, you're Gold, you're Gold
I wanna be... I gotta be... Have to be... Have to be...
Gold, oh oh oh Gold, oh oh oh Gold, oh oh
You're Gold, live it up to your Dreams
Live it up to your Love, giving up all your things unstarted
Gold, live it up to your Soul
Live it up to your Hope, giving up all your tears and sorrow
You're Gold, live it up to your Dreams
Live it up to your Love, giving up all your things unstarted
Gold, live it up to your Soul
Live it up to your Hope, giving up all your tears and sorrow
Guess this world is still full of beauty
guess it's still full of charm
like the garden of eden
it's an animal's farm
cos i can't reach what they define
can't hold back what i think
can't stand in line
take a look at this gorl now
ain't she pretty and neat
smiles as bright as the sunlight
guess her life is a treat?
she wants to be what she can't be
this is what she don't know
but she lives as she's been
told, your heart is made of gold,
it's shining and it's cold,
and look:
she's got a soul
i was dreaming,
searching for something
something that i once knew
your aesthetic perfection
the creation of woe
you don't deserve ehat you desire
up from the cradle you preach
a mindless lie
take a look at this lady
she is fat as a whale
so she can't move her body
and she can't get away
from what they do and what they say
the mockery and the hurt
a joke figure - so she's
told, your heart is made of gold,
it's shining and it's cold,
and look:
she's got a soul
does your body get older
is your mind in decay
do the winters get colder
all your friends gone away
and what you thought is history
and what you once defindes
your misery
take a look at this man now
he is weired and he's lame
tries to count all his memories
this is all that remains
they should contain a little love
my friend, if you die
they are everything you hold
your heart is made of gold,
it's shining and it's cold
say, do you own a soul?
