Gold Vs. The Right Things To Do Lyrics - Lupe Fiasco

Come sit 'round the fire 

Me tell you where we come from 

Me tell you the story 

Some men wanna live like a banker 

Fill up the ship then pull up the anchor 

Pay the mandem to come run and take ya 

Raas clot chain in a brain wash nature 

Joggin' in y'all clothes to the tailor 

Drop leg to the rhythm of the maker 

Mash up the bowl to the fussy hole sailor 

No rain'llfall 'pon Babylon acre 

Zinc fence but me mind is a mansion 

They must suffer, I will still have a bashment 

Hit me with a cross but I'm still here dancin' 

Everything coco curry like a champion In a 

jam, but the man, 

him a jammin' Original you should come follow fashion 

Me already don' seen what the future hold enough gold for the dark 

arts and the chasms

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

So big up your 

chest Like a skin teet in a bad man wagon 

No fear me a duppy assassin 

Make a wish me a dutchie Aladdin 

What them eyes desire for the 

earth strong Give thanks to the first gong 

Demand word like a bird song I myself a word pun 

Me gon tell ya bout the nation 

Gravelicious men in them wicked navigations 

Round of the slaves and stuff them in arrangement 

We the children of the first generation 

Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) 

Babylon (atat tat tat tat) 

Real mama (tat tat tat tat) 

Some follow (atat tat tat tat) 

Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) 

Babylon (atat tat tat tat) 

Damn Prius (atat tat tat tat) 

Jah Bless (tat tat tat tat)

All I got is gold, 

golden memories When I think about what you 

mean to me All I got is gold, golden memories 

When I think about what you did to me 

When I think about 

When I think about (reparation) 

When I think about 

When I think about 

When I think about 

Respect 

Mandem dem a come down from England 

Anyone comes for your kingdom 

Say 'em got enough Manilla for the yout' and the gal and the man would you bring some? 

Tell her why am bashing your excitement 

Sayin' don't want to level let it fly still 

Sayin' got enough liquor for the trip 

Not worry about a thing man everyone irie 

F*ck raining I want fi do it 

And there's somethin' man wan mi fi trade pick me 

Man a quanti bald head must think me foolish 

Let me put a cutless in this nuisance 

Why when only in a dream 

To the smell and the sound and the screams 

And the panic of a captain and a crew that don't 

know what to do once a shit comes apart at the seams 

Got 'em ship gets pulled to the bottom 

By a group of men and women holdin' ropes 

With large hooks on the ends specifically 

designed for catchin' boats 

Crew in disbelief as they choke 

The weight of the chains on the slaves 

Pullin' down on what they think are they graves 

Afraid as they sink from the surface 

of the sea 'til a soft voice in the water tells them breath 

Fire burn Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) 

Babylon (atat tat tat tat) 

Real mama (tat tat tat tat) 

Some follow (atat tat tat tat) 

Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) 

Babylon (atat tat tat tat) 

Damn Prius (atat tat tat tat) 

Jah Bless (tat tat tat tat) 

All I got is gold, golden memories When I think about what you mean 

to me All I got is gold, 

golden memories When I think about what you did to me
