Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think you're, you're, you're, you're
I think you're, you're, you're, you're
I think you're, you're, you're, you're
I think you're gold
[Verse 2]
Church
[Verse 3]
Good god, diamond in the ruff
Wonder why they spitting, looking shinier and lush
Spit shine
Vibier with time
Knew it was a matter, of course, they all false
Like most
Love you when you lost
Now they side eyeing when you're speedy on your growth
Ugh, gross
I expected most
Lost within the politics of looking like a boss
[Verse 4]
Doors
You opened the doors
Only if the body walking openly is yours
Loss
Remember the cause
Boy Scout cookies while I'm queening in my sauce
Of course
Y'all are at a loss
Passion I am packing, I'm a vacuum for the cause
False
I was never yours
Let me elevate, cause truly who is better, who is better
[Verse 5]
I feel no pressure
Shinier than most
I feel no pressure
Diamond in the ruff
I feel no pressure
Shinier than most
I feel no pressure
Who is better, who is better
Who is better, who is better
[Verse 6]
We know
They want your sauce
I let them know, of course it's not yours
We know
They want your sauce
We let them know, of course it's not yours
[Verse 7]
Me
Sammy go for aeons
How slow can you go, you see she be on
I'm sicken
All up in her kitchen
Cooking up the new wave, biting my fruition
Not candid
Half of y'all can't stand it
Chocolate on your box screen, seasoning intended
Not fighting
I'm already shining
Dripping in precision, tell me who is better, who is better
[Verse 8]
Sammy
All up on your grammy
Looking for my circle so they find a way to at me
Small family
They can't even stand me
Bloodstream drippin', said we sippin' gold in family
Truly
How you try to do me?
School me to the industry and now you tryna do me
Not trippin'
Lookin' how I livin'
Inner peace is drippin', tell me who is better, who is better
[Verse 9]
I feel no pressure
Shinier than most
I feel no pressure
Diamond in the ruff
I feel no pressure
Shinier than most
I feel no pressure
Who is better, who is better
Who is better, who is better
[Verse 10]
We know
They want your sauce
I let them know, of course it's not yours
We know
They want your sauce
We let them know, of course it's not yours
[Verse 11]
Hell's fury taste like a slushy play, safe devil don't touch me
Met him on the highway to freedom
Said, the world's ugly, made in his image
In garden of Eden the naked truth
Of the spiritual war demons took despicable fallin' men
With back on the wall, my black soul's a black gold
I can't be sold a perfect stone
I was born with no price tag, carried along in a weather storm
Still strong a soldier on some God mode
Now do your research, how do I work?
Like an eternal melody when the beat's on
Church drums got me perfectin', hallelujah
I been a buddha in the midst a black Jesus
Resurrected, success ladder we move up
Even tho shackled in skin prison
We got weapons like the music
So, let's begin, singin' songs of freedom till the end, and it goes
[Verse 12]
Get me out of your heart full of hate, I cannot stand
Just let me play my part, if I ain't black, I'm another man
So, do you understand what it takes to walk in my shoes
My physical vehicle on the news, away from Sudan, I still don't lose
(I still don't lose)
[Verse 13]
We keep the essence linked up with Sampa the Great
To give them the message, so instead a crack epidemic
Excellent blacks representin', what up?
[Verse 14]
We know
They want your sauce
I let them know, of course it's not yours
We know
They want your sauce
We let them know, of course it's not yours
[Verse 15]
It's not yours
Of course, it's not yours
It's not yours
Of course, it's not yours
It's not yours
Of course, it's not yours
It's not yours
Of course, it's not yours
