Golden Lyrics

We can be golden
Why don’t we show them
All of the life there’s meant to be
We can be golden
Look what we holdin’
Better than angels if you believe

Yeah, hah
Grew up kinda tough like
No wheels on my first bike
Second hand was kinda new yeah
Now nigga live a life
You can be anything you wanna be
But nothing comes easily
You gotta do what you gotta do yeah

And I’ve been broke
I’ve been window shoppin’
My high was always my low
Nigga I’ve been around
But I’m coming up you know

We can be golden
Why don’t we show them
All of the life there’s meant to be
We can be golden
Look what we holdin’
Better than angels if you believe
Look, I’m finally in first place
Should have been there in the first place
Runner up is the first to lose yes
So I’m now at a new pace

You can be anything you wanna be
But nothing comes easily
You gotta do what you gotta do
Yeah yeah

Cause I stay working
I stay hustlin’ all the way to the top
And nigga I’ve been around
But I’m coming back yeah

We can be golden
Why don’t we show them
All of the life there’s meant to be
We can be golden
Look what we holdin’
Better than angels if you believe

I don’t believe that you never cared
You use to say we can go anywhere
Back on our feet where we belong
Because we can be anything that we want
We can be golden
Why don’t we show them
All of the life there’s meant to be
We can be golden
Look what we holdin’
Better than angels if you believe
Yeah!
We can be golden
Why don’t we show them
All of the life there’s meant to be
We can be golden
Look what we holdin’
Better than angels if you believe

Cause I will never see myself gettin’ of the block
And gettin’ all the shots that I got
I will never see myself gettin’ of the block
And look now we standin’ on top
I will never see myself gettin’ off the block
And gettin’ all the shots that I got
Baby there’s a reason why we got off the block
Cause now we standing on top yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
