Sampa The Great and Estelle - Paved With Gold

I know for certain
The streets weren't paved with gold
But you got your soul
I know it's pressure, baby
But hold on to it all
Still got your soul

In the light, in the dark
When my engine lost its spark
When my vision blurred and I can't be heard
And I can't locate my path
And I'm filled with indecision
And I can't be sure enough
And I'm weary, lost and stuck
And the voice within me shut
Say to me
When the beat goes hard
Renegade
And we eat go hard
And we don't dance around with my heart
Man ago swear they passion go hard
If you don't stand alone you gone fall alone
I believe in me and go hard
And you gon' walk right out of your pain
And you gon' walk right into your path
And I believe you a come up
Bish you a stunner
Yes you a winner like your father
Baba, music gon' reign, you a runna
And you gon' rise to the top, nigga, tada
Voila, mama, I'mma be bold
I'mma be strong, I'mma be gold
I'mma gonna grow me straight to my path
Music gonna grow me straight to my soul
I know

I know for certain
The streets weren't paved with gold
But you got your soul
I know it's pressure, baby
But hold on to it all
Still got your soul

In the high and the lows
In the midst of friends and foes
When you elevate your spirit
And you reaching all your goals
When the light, it shines within me
And the streets is paved with gold
And the pressure falls behind me
All the lies I often told
Say to me when the beats go hard
Resonate and I feel my spark
And I don't dance around with my heart
And I'm gon' swear my passion go hard
And I have been through the fire
And seen the wire
Mans in a higher empire
And I just walked right out of my pain
And I'm gon' walk right into my path
And I believe I'm a come up
Bish I'm a stunner
Yes I'm a winner like my father
Baba, music gon' run, I'm a stunner
And I'm gon' rise to the top, nigga, tada
Voila, baba, I'mma be bold
I'mma be strong, I'mma be gold
Music gonna grow me straight to the path
Music gonna grow me straight to my soul
I know

I know for certain
The streets weren't paved with gold
But you got your soul
I know it's pressure, baby
But hold on to it all
Still got your soul

All or nothing
Gave it something
I'm still running
I'm still stunting
Melody
And it keep coming
Memory
Tadadaddada
All of it inna my soul
Tadadada
My path
Tadadada
My soul

I know for certain
The streets weren't paved with gold
But you got your soul
I know it's pressure, baby
But hold on to it all
Still got your soul
