Gold in My Veins

Verse

I walk through the city like it owes me gold

Every window blinking with a story untold

Bills stacked on my desk but I'm burning them slow

Rise up before the morning kills the glow

I was born for this, I know it in my chest

Something ancient stirring from a time long rest

The skyscrapers hum and they don't understand why

Some men count their hours — some men count the sky

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through my veins like fire

Every shadow turning into light on the stairs

Can you hear the drum beating in the ground?

Something bigger than a mortal name

Chorus

I am made of gold, not iron and steel

This city burns beneath my feet, I feel

Nothing left to hide — nothing left to fear

This is how the legends learn to walk through fire

Verse 2

The night gets louder and my chest gets wide

Every stranger turns into an old friend inside

The money's just a flame that I let go of fast

I trade it all for something that will last

I'm not running from it, I was born to lead

This city built itself upon the shoulders of the dead

They called me crazy when they saw my hands up high

Now they're counting how many empires touch the sky

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through my veins like fire

Every shadow turning into light on the stairs

Can you hear the drum beating in the ground?

Something bigger than a mortal name

Chorus

I am made of gold, not iron and steel

This city burns beneath my feet, I feel

Nothing left to hide — nothing left to fear

This is how the legends learn to walk through fire

Bridge

They say success has got an end in sight

I'm building one that shines before the light

Every failure was a staircase still unlit

Today I climbed it and I stood on top of it

Chorus

I am made of gold, not iron and steel

This city burns beneath my feet, I feel

Nothing left to hide — nothing left to fear

This is how the legends learn to walk through fire
