Jalen Fryer - Chasing Gold (feat. Reed Deming) Lyrics

Going overtime for a little bit of money
Trading my time for a little bit of money
Praying this money's gonna buy me some time
So the lights stay on and the stove keeps running
Been a couple months since I saw my mother
Seen a couple flights but I just can't front 'em
Was gonna make a call but my pride can't take it
So I'm back in the morning to a tray and an apron

This life is so beautiful
But none of us even know
We're too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing gold
This life is so beautiful
But none of us even know
We're too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing

Thinking back 10 years ago like, wow
I knew more then than I'll ever know now
The internet told me it's all about me
And it's all about noise and it's all about now
Sick of tryna find validation through a phone
Like, give me some attention
I swear I'll do the most
That's probably why it's been so long since a post
I've been trying to make art, not some Internet gold

But the numbers were all I'd known
The ego had lost control
I was too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing gold
I turned off the phone for once
And saw we lived under golden sun
We live under golden sun
But we're still busy chasing gold

Chasing gold, chasing gold, we're chasing gold
Still busy chasing gold, chasing gold
We're still busy chasing gold

See, all the gold is there, just
A different kind of karat
When you look inside a soul
Materialistic nation
We know that gold will chain us
But we still chase it though
See, all the gold is there, just
A different kind of karat
When you look inside a soul
It's a materialistic nation
We know that gold will chain us
But we still chase it though
We still chase it though
