I used to be a fool, no I won't
For a tool dressed in king's robes
Used to be subjected under you
You will never occupy a throne
She leaves you with green residue
Captivates while you shed a tear
Your cure, powder addiction, don't you
Come on my pure porcelain, 'cause you
You hit fool's gold
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
Only when the light is right oh
You will never ever shine no
Look with your natural eye
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
But when you get closer, closer
You will see that she is fool's gold, see that she is fool's gold
Rub up on anything that glitters
You like to f*** her from all angles
But she has scratchy, sharp, hard edges
Cut you deep, while I soothe, soften
She leaves you with green residue
Captivates while you shed a tear
Your cure, powder addiction, don't you
Come on my pure porcelain, 'cause you
You hit fool's gold
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
Only when the light is right oh
You will never ever shine no
Look with your natural eye
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
But when you get closer, closer
You will see that she is fool's gold, see that she is fool's gold
Just a little bit of the real deal discovered, discovered, discovered, discovered
Difference in cheap plated, real gold, it's subtle, subtle, subtle, subtle
I won't let you cover up or smother, smother, smother, smother, smother
I see you tryna bury, hide my nuggets of wisdom and beauty and love for fool's gold
You hit fool's gold
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
Only when the light is right oh
You will never ever shine no
Look with your natural eye
Oh it glistens in the water, glistens in the water
But when you get closer, closer
You will see that she is fool's gold
