Streets of Gold by RexRiot Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2015

[Intro]
Yeah
This for Jo

[Verse 1]
When it all falls down let's be honest
We all want the bank account with the commas
We all gotta have the gold and the diamonds
We picture six figures fixing our problems
You work hard they don't see what you doin for em
The ones supporting, now the ones ignoring
You never sleep but still you follow dreams
And all while tryna find out what you're living for
What they say can't buy us happiness
Is the reason that all this is happening
And the reason that we commit half these sins
But the reason that we gonna laugh again
How could it be a sin if it puts me in Europeans
And gets us up out of this place?
But i can kind of see the problem, they're living for dollars
Forgot how they got in this space
I can kind of see being the problem, they living for dollars
Forgot how they got in this space
[Chorus]
These visions I'm seeing, there's people
They're smiling, they're living, they're happy all day
The streets are all golden, no problems
I'm holding the river it washed them away
I think that I feel you I see you I find you
You still got that smile on your face
We're talking, we're laughing, you're joking
And you're telling me everything will be okay
Just don't let it slip away
Don't ever slip away

[Verse 2]
You know what you got and it's starting to show
Dedication and patience, the reason you grow
Now you’re seeing the difference, the difference you know
That you're paying in change for the price of your soul
Educated, you know there's a toll on this road
And everything shiny ain’t diamonds and gold
Your mental is worth more than diamonds and gold
Remember you have to keep promises so
Was talking to Mal he said do it for Jo
So we do it for him and we do it the most
We do it for him when we're doing these shows
When we're showing these people a part of us
If you’re gonna dream then go on and dream
But don't you let go of your vision
Got control of my dreams and ahold of this scene
And that’s why i see you in these visions
[Chorus]
These visions I'm seeing, there's people
They're smiling, they're living, they're happy all day
The streets are all golden, no problems
I'm holding the river it washed them away
I think that I feel you I see you I find you
You still got that smile on your face
We're talking, we're laughing, you're joking
And you're telling me everything will be okay
Just don't let it slip away
Don't ever slip away
