10k Kwasi - GOLDEN BOY Lyrics

I'm the golden boy it ain't no other way around it
I been round a lot of niggas, none these niggas solid
Get up off ya ass and go outside and try to solve it
I said I'm the golden boy that's just basic knowledge

My people out the country, so I do my best to glow
I'm the only golden boy that you supposed to know
You claim to know another, but to me, he really fake
Phone call from my mother, why she always callin' late?
She said she wanna see me
Takes a lot for me to answer
Should never be that hard
She's the one who called me handsome
Taking shit for granted, but I never understand it
This one for my mama always smiling
Always dancing

I'm the golden boy it ain't no other way around it
I been round a lot of niggas, none these niggas solid
Get up off ya ass and go outside and try to solve it
I said I'm the golden boy that's just basic knowledge

My people out the country hope to god I see them soon
Left me stranded with no money, I still made it to the moon
Need a job I need some paper, but this rap shit keep me sane
Keep on goin' till I make it
Till the people know my name
No one said it's easy so I stay true to my craft
Got some money for the Yeezys, but my card still overdraft
Been on bullshit for the summer
Now semesters kick my ass
Checkin' up on all the homies
They the ones that know my past
Tell my granny when I see her she gon' get a diamond ring
Hope I see another year so the people hear me sing
I moved into the city with the hope I reach my dreams
I know I'm gonna make it, if i keep my record clean
They wanna see me fail
Yeah they wanna see me down
Put my brothers in the jail
Put my sisters in a crown
That's not the only difference
When you lookin' from above
When you really down bad
Ain't nobody show you love
So I had to make it back
Ain't nobody here to trust
Now I'm ready to attack, cross me once and that's yo blood
Cross me one and that's yo blood
Now I'm ready to attack cross me once and that yo blood

I'm the golden boy it ain't no other way around it
I been round a lot of niggas, none these niggas solid
Get up off ya ass and go outside and try to solve it
I said I'm the golden boy that's just basic knowledge
I'm the golden boy it ain't no other way around it
I been round a lot of niggas, none these niggas solid
Get up off ya ass and go outside and try to solve it
I said I'm the golden boy that's just basic knowledge

My people out the country had to do it for myself
I used to sell the xanny almost ended in a cell
I made my daddy cry, made my granny cry too
But I ain't shed a tear
I just looked down at my shoes
Never punched the wall, never talking outta hand
Only flaw about me is I used to pop a xan
Made my life living hell, I did it on my own
Ain't no other option, so he kicked me out the home
Went to Army Navy where I did my senior year
Thought that I was better but I damn near disappeared
My mind was always racing swear to god I need some help
Talking to the counselor bout how I really felt
Nothing really help me, I just wanted to go home
Make a couple tracks and maybe get into my zone
My life it took a turn that I would never ever expect
I met this f*cking girl and then she turned into my ex
We had a couple moments when I thought she was the one
Then she turned around and told me babe we f*cking done

I'm the golden boy it ain't no other way around it
I been round a lot of niggas, none these niggas solid
Get up off ya ass and go outside and try to solve it
I said I'm the golden boy that's just basic knowledge
