Lyrics Paved With Gold - JZAC

Paved With Gold

They told me don’t dream too big, they told me don’t work too hard
Said use your imagination, but don’t let it go too far
I said I want to live like me, they told me I should live like him
They said I need a brand-new car with a big white house and a big white fence
Told the whole world fuck this I’m winning
Told the whole world that I’m just beginning
Got a finish off what my dad don started
He worked too hard cutting fish for a living
He got me I got us now
I don’t want to hear no fuss now
Never made sense as a kid but I finally understand why he left for like months
now
They told me this shit takes time, something like a slow-mo shot
I swear I’m really out here shooting, I’m something like Robocop
I remember 2014 I was so damn depressed that I almost stopped
I want to thank God I didn’t
Ain’t gonna hide my feelings, so
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where streets are paved of gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops I’m right up off the boat
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where streets are paved of gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops I’m right up off the boat
Yeah I fucked up, but I don’t really mean no wrong
They don’t want to hear you Jerry, they just want a Migos song
A little something like you know
What the words that she knows huh
Fuck it I don’t want to shit handed to me, if it happen that way it wouldn’t be
no fun
I had the keys to her heart, and she wasn’t letting it go
Cuz she knows I’m young and I’m dumb when I’m drunk so the shit just got out of
control
She at home cuz she exhausted, i’m out here just making a toast
Asking myself what’s important, guess I’m just taking it slow
I got rid of all the people holding me back
Now I’m beaming that’s just Blizzy looking over my ass
If they try to throw me shade then I’m throwing it back
I’m standing right here in the spot where I’m supposed to be at, so won’t you
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where streets are paved of gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops I’m right up off the boat
Tell me everything you want to know
Moved to where streets are paved of gold
I make my decisions on my own
Just like pops I’m right up off the boat
