Chasing Gold (feat. Reed Deming)

Going overtime for a little bit of money Trading my time for a little bit of money Praying this money's gonna buy me some time So the lights stay on and the stove keeps running Been a couple months since I saw my mother Seen a couple flights but I just can't front 'em Was gonna make a call but my pride can't take it So I'm back in the morning to a tray and an apron This life is so beautiful But none of us even know We're too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing gold This life is so beautiful But none of us even know We're too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing Thinking back 10 years ago like, wow I knew more then than I'll ever know now The internet told me it's all about me And it's all about noise and it's all about now Sick of tryna find validation through a phone Like, give me some attention I swear I'll do the most That's probably why it's been so long since a post I've been trying to make art, not some Internet gold But the numbers were all I'd known The ego had lost control I was too busy chasing gold, chasing gold, chasing gold I turned off the phone for once And saw we lived under golden sun We live under golden sun But we're still busy chasing gold Chasing gold, chasing gold, we're chasing gold Still busy chasing gold, chasing gold We're still busy chasing gold See, all the gold is there, just A different kind of karat When you look inside a soul Materialistic nation We know that gold will chain us But we still chase it though See, all the gold is there, just A different kind of karat When you look inside a soul It's a materialistic nation We know that gold will chain us But we still chase it though We still chase it though
