paved with gold

Lyrics

they told me don't dream too big, they told me don't work too hard, said use your imagination, but don't let it go too far, i said i want to live like me, they told me i should live like him, they said i need a brand-new car with a big white house and a big white fence, told the whole world fuck this i'm winning, told the whole world that i'm just beginning, got a finish off what my dad don started, he worked too hard cutting fish for a living, he got me i got us now, i don't want to hear no fuss now, never made sense as a kid but i finally understand why he left for like months now, they told me this shit takes time, something like a slow-mo shot, i swear i'm really out here shooting, i'm something like robocop, i remember 2014 i was so damn depressed that i almost stopped, i want to thank god i didn't, ain't gonna hide my feelings, so, tell me everything you want to know, moved to where streets are paved of gold, i make my decisions on my own, just like pops i'm right up off the boat, tell me everything you want to know, moved to where streets are paved of gold, i make my decisions on my own, just like pops i'm right up off the boat, yeah i fucked up, but i don't really mean no wrong, they don't want to hear you jerry, they just want a migos song, a little something like you know, what the words that she knows huh, fuck it i don't want to shit handed to me, if it happen that way it wouldn't be no fun, i had the keys to her heart, and she wasn't letting it go, cause she knows i'm young and i'm dumb when i'm drunk so the shit just got out of control, she at home cause she exhausted, i'm out here just making a toast, asking myself what's important, guess i'm just taking it slow, i got rid of all the people holding me back, now i'm beaming that's just blizzy looking over my ass, if they try to throw me shade then i'm throwing it back, i'm standing right here in the spot where i'm supposed to be at, so won't you, tell me everything you want to know, moved to where streets are paved of gold, i make my decisions on my own, just like pops i'm right up off the boat, tell me everything you want to know, moved to where streets are paved of gold, i make my decisions on my own, just like pops i'm right up off the boat
