Silver Over Gold
IYAMAH
Air pollution fills my lungs.
Look at who I have become.
Lost my shine like the city sun.
Mister blue and mister gray.
Of my seaside childhood days
since I moved away.
Dreamt of my songs on the radio
but I ain't that yet, still got a way to go.
And now I'm missing home.
I left the back way, call a stereo.
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road..
all alone.
Mama taught me what I know.
She said: "Life is hard if truth be told;
you don't always get the things you're owed -
that's why I wear silver over gold"
Mama taught me what I know.
She said: "Life is hard if truth be told;
you don't always get the things you're owed -
that's why I wear silver over gold"
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I swear the ocean's never cold
when you're only six years old.
My feet in if they feel the stones,
feet go in they feel at home, yeah.
Now home is just a little boring;
I carry it around while I turn.. ayy.
Dreamt of my songs on the radio
but I ain't that yet, still got a way to go.
And now I'm missing home.
I left the back way, call a stereo.
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road..
all alone.

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
