Cry For Gold

[Verse 1] Youngster up - timeless flow, livin' young - mind is old Time to show them listeners that you shall not cry for gold Some are too ungrateful, others hustle to survive So thank the roof over your head, you're just lucky with your life My soul got thickened from them scars, I mostly feel no pain Some people's lives depend on lines, and I don't mean cocaine Pushin' potential and then patiently I practice So if I died tomorrow, they only hated me for rapping Didn't grow up in the hood, guess I gotta thank god Many at my age already walk towards the graveyard All this Hip-Hop shined on me, so I just tried to flash back Fourteen was the age if I catch a concrete flashback Runnin' 'round with snapbacks, freestyling to catch wreck And I'll remain Captain Nathan, fightin' till my last breath So don't judge nobody just for rockin' sagged pants He could be the guy to prevent you to catch a ratpack [Hook] Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold Be thankful that you still walkin' on this road Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold You coulda been the thug that had to slang dope Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold You cry for luxury while others cry for hope Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold Be thankful that you still walkin' on this road [Verse 2] Rollie Daytona - I don't need it, pull crowds like the Colloseum Cash is easy to spend, but it's hard to keep it But if you ever got it then you have it just to spend it Not to make a billi out a milli while drownin' in madness But money rulin' this world, that fact is unforgettable So I never stopped to think about it, and I prolly never will I'm at war with Captain Hatred, and he's fightin' federal But tell me what's a Captain to a fuckin' General Now back to the scene - who got Rap, some just feel too cool to laugh It's hard to be innovative when rappers bitin' like Suarez If my direction ain't right, then I start to think about moving left Cause all I need is a drink, my music and a fly bitch - Stewardess I'd rather have one real homie than a dozen of phonies Still keep grateful people close, nobody wants to be lonely So you better blast bad-ass battles in life to boost your confidence Leave 'em baffled by being content with what you have [Hook] [Bridge 1 (x2)] Tell us Papiyon Don't cry for gold Tell us Papiyon, tell us, tell us Papiyon Don't cry for gold [Bridge 2 (x2)] Success always equals will plus motivation Keep it pushin' till you make it, keep it pushin' till you make it Life rewards you if you grateful and show dedication Keep it pushin' till you make it, keep it pushin' till you make it [Outro] Don't cry for gold Don't cry for gold
