Corner Store Gold（版本 2）

Intro

Ice in the cup, sun on my wrist

Verse 1 – male melodic rap-sing

Corner store neon fading into gold

Twenty dollars folded in a wrapper cold

Six months of hustling, ain't seen the light yet

Count it again just to make sure I'm right

Fifty-two cents shy but I still smile

Rented jacket on my shoulder all the while

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the coin go quiet now?

Weight on a palm is everything somehow

Chorus – female belting counterpart, doubled with chopped ad-libs

It's the corner store gold in my hand

Held it so tight I could understand

Every late night, every long shot throw

Corner store gold, this one's mine to go

Money don't lie like a lover would say

Corner store gold and I'm holding onto stay

Verse 2 – male melodic rap-sung

Security light blinking like it knows my name

Cashier ringing up groceries the same way she'd ring an anthem line

Five bucks extra for bagging slow tonight

Every cent a yes, every dollar's light

Rent's due Tuesday but I'm counting still

Corner store gold don't get to see that hill

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the coin go quiet now?

Weight on a palm is everything somehow

Chorus – female belting counterpart, doubled with chopped ad-libs

It's the corner store gold in my hand

Held it so tight I could understand

Every late night, every long shot throw

Corner store gold, this one's mine to go

Money don't lie like a lover would say

Corner store gold and I'm holding onto stay

Bridge – both voices, call-and-response

Momma kept a jar for the emergency

Now it's full up with my certainty

Somebody told me success comes slow

I been walking down that street a long time ago

Chorus – female belting counterpart, doubled with chopped ad-libs

It's the corner store gold in my hand

Held it so tight I could understand

Every late night, every long shot throw

Corner store gold, this one's mine to go

Money don't lie like a lover would say

Corner store gold and I'm holding onto stay

Outro – male rap-sung

Neon fade but the feel stays

Corner store gold, still holding that way
