Gold - MILCK, Roosevelt

Come on, look in me in the eye

See everything that I survived

See my history is deep

That’s what makes me me

And I’ll do the same for you

Tell me 'bout what you’ve been through

When we’ve been down in the mud

We know better than to judge

Don’t mistake my confidence for arrogance

Don’t mistake my self-respect for disrespect, 'cause it

Took me years to turn these tears from water into gold

Yeah, I worked for it, I’m proud of it, darlin' darlin'

Sorrow into bold pain is beautiful

When it makes you grow, turn these tears to gold (gold!)

I lay my hands on the world

And I say, «Tell me where it hurts»

Everywhere that I can see

Somebody’s tryna get free

And if I put myself first

Don’t mean I’ll kick you to the curb

I wanna shine bright, and you can shine bright

And we’ll light up the sky, so

Don’t mistake my confidence for arrogance

Don’t mistake my self-respect for disrespect, 'cause it

Took me years to turn these tears from water into gold

Yeah, I worked for it, I’m proud of it, darlin' darlin'

Sorrow into bold pain is beautiful

When it makes you grow, turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Sorrow into bold pain is beautiful

When it makes you grow, turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Come on, look in me in the eye

See everything that I survived

See my history is deep

That’s what makes me me (gold!)

Don’t mistake my confidence for arrogance

Don’t mistake my self-respect for disrespect, 'cause it

Took me years to turn these tears from water into gold

Yeah, I worked for it, I’m proud of it, darlin' darlin'

Sorrow into bold pain is beautiful

When it makes you grow, turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Sorrow into bold pain is beautiful

When it makes you grow, turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Turn these tears to gold

Turn these tears to gold

Turn these tears to gold (gold!)

Turn these tears to gold

Turn these tears to gold
