Everything That Glitters Songtext
von Y1

NIGGA HOW MUCH YA DREAMS COST YOU check the tag
And WHAT THE FUCK you have to show for it, got hella mad
I′m Shikamaru in the flesh, yelling my life is such a drag
That's when I grabbed my pen and Pad and got to getting in my bag
Momma said WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
Warned me before hand
I done GAINED A LOT OF ENEMIES
Lost even more friends
And I still don′t understand, Why it's Niggas I considered my right hand
Try to dap me with they left, and Damn near stab me in the neck
The disrespect, but this the hand the Game has given me
Labels disguised gifts for me, as an Excuse to steal Shit from me
These are the simple casualties of Dreams vs reality
So I put it on a lavish beat for those
Before and after me, sing after me


Be true to you don't put a price on Your soul
Cuz everything that glitters ain′t gold
Realist realist shit my momma ever told
Was everything that glitters ain′t
Everything that glitters ain't gold
Everything that glitters ain′t gold
Everything that glitters ain't
Everything that glitters
From the friends you hang whit to Hoes that you chose
Everything that glitters ain′t gold


I sit alone and my room some times I Stare at the ceiling
In a emotional labyrinth, traveling Through my feelings
Like did I do enough, Did I chop Every opportunity or screw it up
And if I did I made that shit look cool As fuck
I paid the cost to show you hoes my Flow legit
Spent my life savings
Flew to Oakland
Just to open up for Nip
August 10th, 2010
That's a night I won′t forget
Minutes before I hit the stage, a fight Broke out, ain't that a bitch
Chase the applause or walk away from it all I don't no what′s worse
Investors called and said quit my job I was like fuck work
Flew out to Cali and Shit got stressful
Told my daughter daddy ain′t Coming back until He successful
That's when I hit rock bottom
Put trust inside some people that Presented themselves as solid
When They actually were hollow
Within a week I was homeless on a Suicidal spiral
My engineer came and saved the day So I could have a place to stay
I′m washing dishes in another nigga Kitchen
On FaceTime with my daughter, watching another nigga children
Finnesing white bitches off tinder, cuz I was broke and on a mission
To come up whit a plan to get the Fuck, up outta, this position
Might as well try cuz we all gon die, Shit, Ima take a risk
I done beat cases, and polices chases, Bitch I was made for this
I stopped to think about all the fucks That I gave for this
And ima need reparations for all the Years I slaved for this
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But now a Days all these niggas is whores
And all these bitches is savage
Get 10k on IG they′ll charge for visual Access to see em sit on a mattress Sadness
Don't get me wrong I′ve invested in a
Lot of things
When I was growing up prostitution Was a private thing
Snap chats the new Las Vegas, cash App her she'll do a lot of things
Whole pool of hot pussy on line, call It vagina springs
I'm a father now, so my perspective changed
So whit the bars I′m in da pendant Issa necklace thing
Life goes on
But the most valuable thing is ya family and a place of your own
To call home and I′m gone

Everything that glitters ain't gold
But the world don′t seem to know
Everything that glitters ain't gold
Follow your dream till the curtains Close

Be true to you don′t put a price on Your soul
Cuz everything that glitters ain't gold
Realist realist shit my momma ever Told
Was everything that glitters ain′t
Everything that glitters ain't gold
Everything that glitters ain't gold
Everything that glitters ain′t
Everything that glitters
From the friends you hang whit to Hoes that you chose
Everything that glitters ain′t gold
