All That Shines Lyrics - Singles - Vic Mensa

[Intro] 

All that shines, Is not gold (x2) 

(Came up quick) 

[Verse 1] 

Yeah that's how it happened 

Started off slim 

Gained a lil weight rapping 

Now I'm with the big boys 

I'm with Hov out in New York City Getting my A 

Wilin' out with Diddy bumpin' D'angelo 

Put your camera phones on 

I need a billion lights 

Twenty one, doubling through life 

Like I lived it twice 

Give your own advice 

Nigga that's good advice 

And the street lights will take you there 

Take flight like Mike 

When I stop at the light 

Not even flashing lights behind me 

Can stop me on sight 

I see the vision 

Of people divided and put in prison 

For the government cheese 

We your love overseas 

Still bring that home like we smuggling keys 

Dirty money, boy that's how I learned to stay awake 

Niggas claim their money heavy but they paperweight 

We know ya'll ain't 'bout what you say 

(Don't speak) 

No doubt, everyday 

I done struggled with doubts 

Still spit this shit out 

Snakes in the grass 

Real niggas in house 

Cause on the low the game so phony 

Last night I had a real life dream 

You wanna know what it feel like 

Like you'd done got away with everything 

Then they get you for your tail lights 

Shit it's real life 

It's always something 

Sounds like the beats in the hallways bumping 

My nigga I'm grinding 

You remember how that made you feel? 

We in here and here to stay for real

[Chorus] 

They say everything that glistens isn't gold 

I know that this shit could come quick as it goes 

(It shows) 

The hoes are never learning take it slow 

Shit cos we came up quick 

We came up quick 

Yeah, we came up quick than a motherfucker 

[Verse 2] 

Last night I saw so and so 

She ain't even know me though 

Love in the club, wanna dip with Lil Romeo 

Looking for a nigga bringing five or more figures 

She broker than a bitch 

But she don't vibe with broke niggas 

Like Johnny Shell the same old same old 

Hoes love games 

Cubes nintendos 

Dread heads with me 

Put your head on a halo 

If I say so 

But I'd rather speak to the peace 

Kinda hard when there ain't no peace in the streets 

Unless you got a piece 

Then I'm saying peace 

Niggas lie through their teeth 

Head under their breath 

Yo, when the president speaks 

Why I feel like I'm death? 

Sorry officer I'm not cooperating 

I been too busy getting guapo-rated 

Poppin' pills, not the ones the doctor gave me 

It's okay, you have it your way 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

They say everything that glistens isn't gold 

I know that this shit could come quick as it goes 

(It shows) 

The hoes are never learning take it slow 

Shit cos we came up quick 

We came up quick 

Yeah, we came up quick than a motherfucker
