Argentina Fargo - Gold Lyrics

I remember I was nine
When my brother used to rhyme
Used to see him spit
Switch flows and hold nines
Seen the same bro
Catch case and hold time
All that made me wanna do is Continue his prime
As a youngin' all I wanted
Was to be that nigga
All they did was look at you
And be like, He that nigga
Older brother, older son of mother
One I would look up to in the source
Hoping that one day
You'd be the one I would turn into
I figured it was just a figment
Of imagination
The magic made
This moment happen
Look at me grow with your stature
After all these years
They had you waiting
In that cell
While niggas giving you hell
I knew you was still basin
And when them cells close
And spite cover your eyes
I just pray God let light
Cover your skies
Hope your inner stressing
Don't mess with you inside
Keep holding your head high
It's a blessing in disguise, my nigga

Things don't always go, always go your way
I know everything
That shine ain't gold
And we might think we're close
But even we can be far away
I know everything
That shine ain't gold

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everything that shine ain't gold
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(And it ain't gold)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(And it ain't gold)
Everything that shine ain't gold

Things don't always go,
Always go your way
I know everything
That shine ain't gold
And we might think we're close
But even we can be far away
I know everything
That shine ain't gold

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everything that shine ain't gold
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(And it ain't gold)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(And it ain't gold)
Everything that shine ain't gold
