🔻 Song Insight

Cold Gold is about the cost of love when it turns into control. It’s the sound of defiance rising from broken trust—choosing truth over illusion, freedom over silence.

🔻 Lyrics

Intro:
Shiny and new... shiny and new...
: You said “shiny and new”?
  : So see-through... you see-through...
: Nah. You mid. Straight see-through.

Verse 1:
Clout-chasin’, tryna line me up
: Line him up, line him up
Wanted smoke, I lit the block, flame mine now
: Flame it now, flame it now
Talk slick, thought I’d fold?
: he won’t fold
You chaos, I’m bricked up, peace on hold
: Locked down
Ten bands gone? Paid your plug, wiped the slate
: Run it back
Daddy’s bag dry, you still ridin’ hype
: So predictable
Nine long years, you drained my vibe
: Nine whole years
Now I’m done countin’ every cry.
Wait, babe, that ain’t the story—
It was a hack, I swear!
You know my mom got me stressed...

Chorus:
You straight toxic, period.
: Period, period
“Shiny and new” — that’s your aesthetic
: ’Sthetic, so pathetic
Traded our future for a temp high
: Next high, next high
Now watch me stack while you just cry.
: Watch him stack now
You straight toxic, period.
: Period, period
“Shiny and new” — but it’s all pathetic.
: Pathetic, so pathetic

Verse:
Built the crib, raised kids, you ghosted
: Straight ghosted
Now you in my DMs? Boy, you roasted.
: Pure trash
Dream on layaway, swipe got denied
: All them lies
Empty chest, no soul, void inside.
: Void inside
Still chasin’ cheap thrills, same dead lane
: Same game, same game
Claimed you flame, but you ice, no flame.
: Killed the vibe


You straight toxic, period.
: Period, period
“Shiny and new” — that’s your aesthetic
: ’Sthetic, so aesthetic
Traded our future for a temp high
: Next high, next high
Now watch me stack while you just cry.
: Watch him stack now

Bridge:
I was on my grind, babe, stop the cap!
  Spoken, Cold:
Your grind was cap. And that’s facts.

 You’ll never find anothim one like me.
  Sarcastic: Thank God, thank God
 Lead: Thank God. Now I’m finally free.


My new shorty diff, he a perfect ten.
  Laughing, Sharp: he laughin’, he laughin’
Cute. You want my line so I can school him then?


Well, maybe you could—
 Lead  Final Blow, Spoken:
Nah. Lessons ain’t free.
Keep your new shorty, keep your blue-pill dream.
You dismissed.


You straight toxic, PERIOD!
: Period, period!
“Shiny and new” — it’s your sickness!
: It’s a sickness!
Scarred us all with your every lie
: Every lie, every lie
Now watch me RISE while you just die inside.
: Die inside
You straight toxic, PERIOD!
: Period, period!
“Shiny and new” — just a gimmick.
: Just a gimmick!

Outro:

You want the cheat code? Build your own world.
  Whisper: Build your own...
Energy locked. Chapter closed.
  Whisper: Closed... closed...

Yo... for real? You just gonna... block me...?


🔻 Personal Reflection

Cold Gold came from realizing the price of bending to someone else’s idea of who I should be. It’s about the breaking point—where survival means walking away with your soul intact.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

For 4Me2BeFree, every track is a cinematic story stitched from real scars and triumphs. Cold Gold embodies this mission—turning pain into power, carving beauty from brokenness, and making music that mirrors the fight to stay true.
