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 Brooklyn
