Dirty Gold Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Take a breath, say you love me
We both know that everything changesKeep in mind that none of this is fiction
This is just a glimpse into the head of a menace
We were two different children
But we born of the same moon
Blowing entire opposite
We were brought up the same too
I used to hate you because they celebrate you
And you made them notice every single thing I can't do
But really I honestly wanted to be you

And I just hope my desire to wasn't that see through
I never took into account the things that you were hiding
I even understood your rage when I see you get violent
I guess the height of all my envy was leaving me blinded
Until you sat me down and told me how crazy your life is
You said to run and never look back
And if I did, to never lose track of all the hurdles I was jumping
That lead me to my current goalDon't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty goldTook a chance, said you'd love me
We both know that everything changesYou found me when I was dying and unappreciated
You broke me down into a science that I completely hated
You told impeccable talent didn't make me less average
But how I use it to my advantage determined my passion
It took some time to understand and manage
But then I learned this passion was the method to my madness
And I never got to thank you, at least not in the way I planned
But I had to learn before I did that, I hope you understand
It takes a lot for me to bury hatchets but consider them cremated
All the ashes burned to ashes
And I'm dusting off my vocal box and finally saying thank you
And even though you ain't my fan, you did the shit they ain't do
So disregard my temper and the times I fucking hate you
Because despite all my ignorance I'm really fucking grateful
Never forget the importance of the sparks you holdDon't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty goldTook a glance, towards the mirror
Now I know that everything changesI used to hate me, I swore my life was too painful
Let my demons overtake me before I fight with my angels
There was constantly a struggle to see my life at an angle
That provided understanding of how much drama could change you
I used to cut myself open just to feel like I was living
But when living is just dying then there's no longer a difference
There's no longer existence, and there's no longer persistence
And there's no longer a drive there existing on only division
And I thought, if nobody ever loved me
This vacancy inside me must be really called a bloodstream
Then I looked into the world and saw a million people like me
Probably never know your stories, but you're the reason I'm fighting
You're the reason I'm writing; music
Could be so reviving
And if ever you tend to forget, I'm right here to remind you:
Don't ever give into the hurt you holdDon't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don't sell your soul baby you are dirty gold

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Raykeea Wilson (born 1991), better known by her stage name Angel Haze, is an African American , Native American rapper and lyricist signed to Universal Republic and Island. She was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in the Greater Apostolic Faith.
She released her EP Reservation online in July 2012. She is planning a collaboration with Azealia Banks. She lives in Springfield, Virginia. In 2012, she took part in the BET Hip-Hop Award's Cypher. She was also featured on Funk Volume's artist Dizzy Wright's mixtape "SmokeOut Conversations" on the remix track for "Can't Trust Em'." The song also featured on the track now Funk Volume artist Jarren Benton. On Angel Haze’s 2012 mixtape Classick, she recorded a version of Eminem’s song, "Cleanin' Out My Closet". Earbuddy's John Downey wrote "Haze’s take on Slim Shady’s classic tune might be the superior product."
It was announced that Universal Republic Records was going defunct, making artists including Haze to move from its roster to revived Republic Records. On December 9, 2012, the BBC announced that she had been nominated for the Sound of 2013 poll.

Angel is a newcomer to the hip hop scene in more than one sense: not only is she a new and relatively underrated up-and-comer in music, but hip hop itself and the culture it comes with are new to her as well. A poet before anything else, she says: “I started writing when I was 11. It was one of many times in my life where I needed some release, some structure. So I let my words play captions to my muted emotion”. The idea that these captions might actually be lyrics only occurred to her relatively recently, when a friend opened her eyes to the possibility of turning her poems into raps.

Although not a veteran, Angel is definitely seasoned regardless of her apparent lack of experience, and people are starting to notice. To date, she’s been featured on several music blogs and websites, including a profile on HotNewHipHop and a feature for UrbanSteez’s Unsigned Hype. In two short years, she already has thousands of fans following her career online, her songs have presently surpassed the 40,000 mark in downloads, and she can count established acts like Audio Push and New Jersey’s Brick Bandits among those she’s worked with to date. When asked how she’s reached these heights with such little active promotion, Angel replies that while there seem to be so many people who want to be musicians, there are only few who actually are. “It’s all a matter of how you approach things”, she says, “stay humble, stay fierce and stay true to who you are.”

This is what differentiates Angel from so many of her peers: she is wholly and unapologetically herself at all times, regardless of any judgments that many ensue. Whether it’s her unexpectedly bold statements, her passionate desire for success or her closeted fear of it, Angel Haze is never comparable to anything but Angel Haze, and it works to her benefit. Drawing inspiration from acts as diverse as her audience, she likens herself to a “rapper smoothie”, combining the tastes and styles of many to create a completely fresh and unique flavor of her own.

While it seems like every musician’s goal to gain recognition and success via their art, Angel has further ambitions: “I want to make people feel connected. I want to tell a story – everybody’s story”.
