"Gold Heart, Solid Soul"

Gold Heart, Solid Soul [Intro] Yeah… I been too nice for too damn long. So now? I’m choosing me. Let’s go. [Verse 1] Fast life, late nights, living on the edge, Couple drinks, getting high, dancing with the best. I’m single like a Pringle, baby, open to the vibe, Always down to have a good time, I’m just living my life. But hold up—rewind, wait a minute, what I get? What you bringing to the table? What’s the benefit? I spent too many years putting everybody first, Giving out my heart until that shit became a curse. They mistook my kindness, thought my weakness was a flaw, I was breaking down myself just to hold up everybody else. Made sure everybody ate, made sure everybody straight, Then I looked around and realized nobody showed up at my gate. [Hook] So fuck that nice-girl shit, I’m done with playing small, If I don’t put me first, who the hell gon’ catch my fall? I’m on my own wave, baby, watch me elevate, Looking good, feeling better—ain’t nobody gonna dictate. Yeah, I stumble, yeah, I fuck up, yeah, I make mistakes, But my heart is still gold, even after all it takes. I stay solid in the struggle, I will never fold, You can throw me in the fire—I’ma come out gold. [Verse 2] Fuck these dumb-ass skonkas, mad they can’t be me, Mad I got a heart they could never make believe. Two-faced, backstabbers, switching for a bag, Smiling in your face while they plotting what they lack. I ain't built like that, I don't move that way, I don't sell my soul for a dollar or a name. You can keep that fake love, keep that phony-ass crew, I’d rather stand alone than be surrounded by fools. I learned every lesson, paid the price for the growth, Lost a couple people but I damn sure found myself. Now I’m walking with a purpose, got my head held high, Ain’t explaining my existence to a motherfucking lie. [Hook] So fuck that nice-girl shit, I’m done with playing small, If I don’t put me first, who the hell gon’ catch my fall? I’m on my own wave, baby, watch me elevate, Looking good, feeling better—ain’t nobody gonna dictate. Yeah, I stumble, yeah, I fuck up, yeah, I make mistakes, But my heart is still gold, even after all it takes. I stay solid in the struggle, I will never fold, You can throw me in the fire—I’ma come out gold. [Bridge] I love my life, I live it how I wanna live, No more taking less than what I know I deserve. I can love you without losing myself in the process, I can give without letting you take all my progress. And if a hater got a problem, tell ’em stay mad, I’m too busy becoming everything I never had. This ain't bitterness, baby, this is me setting the tone— I finally learned the difference between love and being used. [Outro] So here I am… Still standing. Still shining. Still solid. Heart made of gold. Soul made of steel. I fucked up, I fell down— But I got back up every damn time. Fuck what they think. I’m doing me. And I look damn good doing it.
