Toi - Gold Lyrics

We're not about the gold
Yea we only want the goals
We will never sell our souls
Throwin aces I don't fold
We're not about the gold
Yea we only want the goals
We will never sell our souls
Throwin aces I don't fold

Playin aces black jack
But I gotta split
Takin' to long to
Write this hit
When my agent calls
I put a stop to it
Don't think I wanna hear that
Shit right now

(But I don't even have an agent I mean)

So Back in the day I was going to school
Learning my theory and hearing the rules
Walk into 8am music like nah
Thinking ill breeze but prof said ha
Writing my notes and my clefs like champ
I guess I was childish to think it was camp
My teachers were tired of hearing my rant only 1 thing to do practice your craft
I told em realistically I got two big options
I can try to tame the game
Then watch people stop me
Or I can go and teach and show u it's not just a hobby
I'll be doing this for life
There ain't no plot twist

We're not about the gold
Yea we only want the goals
We will never sell our souls
Throwin aces I don't fold

But we'll take it if it's coming our way
All we're trying to say is we don't care what they say
Make it by ourselves and we'll brighten our day
Maybe it will brighten someone else's along the way
Now I don't care all the gloves are coming off
Ima do it my own way of my dreams Im the boss
Everyday Im getting better like Im bouncing off a loss
If Im watching for a sign then Im always gunna stop
Back drop for the better just for color
Im always under others but Its there I find my comfort
Not for better or for nothing but Im sick and its disgusting
Give me something in an hour don't know where I find the power
Take that feeling in my stomach find a tone and pitch to match it
Goals not gold chasing peace of mind not classics wrapped in plastic
Like its packaged for the masses
Stretching for a motion like a weak Mr. Fantastic
Let go of the weight that was keeping me slow
I know that the beast is only gunna grow but
We're gunna grow together worst or better and
That metaphor not clever but I like it...So What?

Gold Gold we don't need that gold
Nah
Gold Gold we don't need that gold

We're not about the gold
Yea we only want the goals
We will never sell our souls
Throwin aces I don't fold
We're not about the gold
Yea we only want the goals
We will never sell our souls
Throwin aces I don't fold
