Silver & Gold Lyrics

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

I'd rather have Jesus, than silver and gold

See the diamonds ain't gon do nothing but shine

And them watches only take away the time

I need something I can feel deep in my soul

I need more than just some silver and some gold

See I prayed for this and I begged to get to this day

Where I ain't worried 'bout if my rent gon' get paid

Where I ain't worried 'bout if that food gon' be on that table

Where I ain't worried 'bout if this rocky road gon' be stable

See the good thing is you survived all your worst days

Like that time when you ain't even celebrate your birthday

Cause you was down and out, and that depression hit you like bricks

Cause you dont feel like you do enough with raising your kids

See I been there and I seen it and I felt it

Just because you ask for some help, don't mean you helpless

And just because you do for your self don't mean you selfish

Gotta deal with all of those cards that you was dealt with

You can't be pouring into nobody else, when you empty

See it's more to life, then these Rolls Royce's and Bentleys

It's about your happiness, your close friends and your family

That's what I'm a tell them folks when I finally win me a Grammy, word

See the diamonds ain't gon do nothing but shine

And them watches only take away the time

I need something I can feel deep in my soul

I need more than just some silver and some gold

See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine

And them watches only take away the time

I need something I can feel deep in my soul

I need more than just some silver and some gold

The richest people be sad, the millionaires be so mad

How you buy so much stuff, but can't afford to be glad

I just need all the love, then I'm a need more then that

So I can give it away, and keep enough in the stash

Free my cousin in jail, he made a stupid decision

They gave him twenty to life, they shoulda gave him tuition

They need shrinks in the hood, instead of cops on the corner

She need her pops to come back, 'cause he been gone for the longest

And my best friend died, I swear I wish he could see me

He believed in my dreams, when no one else would believe me

Find a purpose in life, then find a reason to live

You get everything back, when you make a mission to give

It's not what's on you, it's what's in you

That's how you measure your worth

Be something for somebody else, before you leave off this earth

No matter what you tell yourself, just know that you matter

And no matter how hard it gets, just know it gets better

See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine

And them watches only take away the time

I need something I can feel deep in my soul

I need more than just some silver and some gold

See the diamonds ain't gon' do nothing but shine

And them watches only take away the time

I need something I can feel deep in my soul

I need more than just some silver and some gold

This album is for anybody that ever been through anything

Anybody, that ever been in love and loss

This for you

Rest in peace Geezy
