[English]

Gold days

Give them away

The whole town was burning, burning, burning

Gold days

Give them away

The whole town was burning, burning, burning

Riding in this hooptie with the rust stains

Trying to get a buck off of this cocaine

I'm day dreaming all day, hoping that I can wake up

Lounging in my castle with the windows all draped up

And my pockets all caked up, no stress

Guess I'm gonna have to wait until I'm dead to get some rest huh

You know the mirror never lies

My girl giving me hell because I ain't hearing her cries

She call me 5 or 6 times on the phone and I ain't replied

I'm a young man with dreams, nothing in between

I told myself one day that I would understand the bigger scheme

If you come from where I came from you know what I mean

Those were them

Gold days

(I could never)

Give them away, away

(I made sure)

The whole town was burning, burning, burning

(Those were them)

Gold days

(I could never)

Give them away, away

(I made sure)

The whole town was burning, burning, burning

2: Action Bronson]

Sunny weather, people with you, when it's clouds they run for cover

The one that stood beside me was my motherfucking mother

Moving on to better days, put my kids through college

Your mind is young, copping Jordans, eating chicken wings

Trophy case filled, you fucking with a winner

I'm at???? loving suckers simmer

You see my shirt it's expensive like the dinner

That's why I rock a bib motherfucker because it's linen

I only talk about what I know and some other shit

You on some angel eyes, sneaky undercover shit

Intricate plots constructed during boredom

I'm in the streets from? to Fordham

Peace to my family I hold you down forever

I love my children's mother even though we're not together

All I ask is honesty, ayo honestly

Fuck around and we could've been a dynasty

Gold days

(I could never)

Give them away, away

(I made sure)

The whole town was burning, burning, burning

(Those were them)

Gold days

(I could never)

Give them away, away

(I made sure)

The whole town was burning, burning, burning
