All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
This is going out to the brothers and the sisters out there
Getting paid on the wrong tip and don't even care
So sit back and relax as Sound speaks some truth
About back in the days when I was rolling with my crew
I used to get paid on the Ave, chill and just laugh
At the crackers walking around, yo, O.G. got blast
By the mega nine millimeter bulletproof ready
Had a machine gun under the bed in case the static got heavy
But it never turned to that, the pockets just stay fat
I pulled up from the streets and took collecting all the stacks
Of money with my homeboy and the kid that I was working for
We got crazy cool because we started hanging more and more
Cruising uptown in the BM scooping crazy cheese
I thought I had it made, I sold myself that dream
You see one day, I decided not to make the rounds
Me and my man was chilling with some Gs somewhere uptown
That's when I heard that my homeboy just got shot three
Times in the BM, no survivors, I can't believe
That he was gone, I seen my best friend come and go
That's when I came to realize that all that glitters ain't gold
ย
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
Looking at her picture, it told a thousand words
And what it told me is that I played the herb
She was pretty as ever, her body even better
Her time was mine, she played one of a kind
But on the SDL, she wasn't living very well
Sneaking and freaking about every single weekend
Thought I was gone, one week, she's wrong
The show was postponed so I'm on my way home
But to my surprise, can't believe my eyes
Under my covers and with another lover
I broke her jaw and now I know, highs
Everything that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
I used to be a villain sticking up everybody
Bumrushing houses and busting up parties
Setting off beatdowns in the back of the train
Wiped off my boots so I didn't leave a stain
For those that tried to front, they usually got confronted
Me and my crew on the avenues we hunted
Brothers illing, everybody's stealing
A beatdown was a trap that you just fell in
And if you had heart, well, you just got stomped
And if you played the punk, you still got stomped
Until one day, it happened to me
I was on the other side of the punches and knees
I thought it was fun and a little rep I kept
But soon I realized that it was time for me to step
And when I left, all the brothers said I sold
But everything that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
Now Grizzle and Prance got the big chance to dance and go on tour
TV shows, videos, and much more
Things and places we thought you'd never see
Ain't that right, G? (Word)
And it was fun for the first year
We made a little money, got honeys and fresh gear
But then the trips came to a halt, no show, no dough
Now tell me who's fault?
So every chance I got, I was back at the barbershop
Had to keep a knot to go out and hip-hop
On the club scene, brothers got jealous
Some would envy us but didn't wanna tell us
'Cause they thought that we was souped up
But what would we be souped for? We didn't have no future
And being a dancer
So we got together Tongue, the Face, Sound, and Prancer
To do our own thing
And now we made it here, no fear, on a prayer in a whim
To tell what needs to be told
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold

All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold
