BRING THE GOLD Video (MV)

They call me nostalgic
But I tell them that's not it
I'm timeless to the bone, so refer to me like this
I am not 90's, I'm living right here, right now
In this time and place, don't pigeonhole the way I sound
I wasn't meant to be around the golden era crowd
But as a child learn the teachings and apply them now
Then reap the benefits on stage is what I'm finding out
I'm like a prophet in that sense, peep what I recount
You sit I tell
Like when elders passing teachings down
Or like when Supa sent that message in my tears I drowned
Cause I was finally receiving something so renowned
Something you can't buy and that's respect so here I vow
To never lose my sense of self
Put my soul above wealth
Keep on proving that I am required in this here realm
Don't store me in a shelf catching dust around your house
Just play it for your kids and let it naturally astound
Let it sink down
Because too quick they forget
Just look at what they call hip-hop what a mess
When you discover good music, it's like discovering gold
I'll bring the gold to you
Let me remind you of a time
Where you earned respect through rhyme and skills
And that's the truth
And not through who you knew
The black screen making views askew
I realigned and bring the gold to you
Yes I bring the gold to you
Let me remind you of a time
Where you earned respect through rhyme and skills
And that's the truth
And not through who you knew
The black screen making views askew
I realigned and bring the gold to you
Searching for salvation
Desperate for innovation
Addicted to attention like a feign on medication
So they losing they foundation and feeding it to the matrix
Playing tricks when they the ones to lay the bricks so I can spit
I don't stress
I'll show me trustworthy with my competence
Vision blurry I'm the lens
Plus I don't care what you think
Rebel instinct, you teach me history and then my thoughts sink
I think about the struggles of the past and make a clench fist
Boys scared to connect 'cause insecure baes
Or boys beg to connect to make me they bae
Either way it's the looks that causing me to strain
Superficial BS when I'm just trying to make
Classic tunes you can play for many many days
And put on the map the location I was raised
Who else you know from LA that do it just like me
That keep it gold and never fold to fit majority
That running solo on the road, respect from the east
I rep my immigrant city with mad consistency
So first a scholar then a teacher, let you know
Let me bring the gold to you from the east to the west coast
I'll bring the gold to you
Let me remind you of a time
Where you earned respect through rhyme and skills
And that's the truth
And not through who you knew
The black screen making views askew
I realigned and bring the gold to you
Yes I bring the gold to you
Let me remind you of a time
Where you earned respect through rhyme and skills
And that's the truth
And not through who you knew
The black screen making views askew
I realigned and bring the gold to you
