Cordae — All That Glitters

[Intro] We are anonymous Yeah Some- this... This is one of them joints, man Uh [Verse 1] You ever have a bad dream? Wake up and it's a sad thing Paint a picture vivid, no flat screen Gotta get the cash, C.R.E.A.M Bright lights, see the flash beams Life's a movie, better know that scene (haha) Because I'm the leading actor of these fetus rappers They all my sons, I gotta breed them faster I'm undefeated for several reasons, I bring disaster We need to see the pastor With decency and laughter They doubt I beat the chatter But one day I'm gon' find myself And I'ma do this shit by myself But we gon' be straight, give me three days I'll make a rhyme for pete's sake Eat lobster and cheesecake With vodka and cheap Bape But we gon' get it, and get it again Different Benz, same friends I'm committed to win It's no more lame trends We is finished with them And all the hater get a kick in the shin But we don't fuck with that Remember time was simple in tenth grade with bucket hats? Pride gun, I tuck it back Life crazy, my luck gets bad Well I'ma say to you We gon' make it through And 'til the rain go away, I'm gon' play it cool [Chorus] Cause we all know how it goes I know it's bad so let me tell you about it All that glitters ain't gold Life here's so sad, I seen hell around it [Verse 2] The hex or a spell around it I'm humble, they tell I'm grounded They shoot and there's shells around it Trump and them bell has sounded The end in times, will we burn for sins and crimes? Spared for giving spares and shared beginning rhymes But this is nowhere near the end, though Miss Dave on the back porch smoking indo Playing that Nintendo Chilling with the kin folk Everything A-OK like 10-4 But times done got harder And we done got tougher I didn't anticipate it But shit's a lot rougher But how can you thrive and succeed but not suffer? The struggle make you real and the nigga got gutter But soon straight steaks on my plate, hot butter And everything gonna open up, stop clutter So I'ma tell you, "Slow your roll, stand tall, don't fold And everything that glitters ain't gold" But you should [Chorus] Cause we all know how it goes I know it's bad so let me tell you about it All that glitters ain't gold Life here's so sad, I seen hell around it [Outro] I mean... You just gotta bounce back from all your L's and come ten time harder. You can't do all the shit you can't change, right?
