[Intro – Musa] Yo, yo, yo, check the vibe, gold in my hands, Ridin’ high through Cairo, king of these lands. Big moves comin’, listen up close, This tale’s ‘bout to flip, let’s roll with the dose. [Verse 1 – Musa] I hit Cairo, gold sacks stacked to the brim, Dumped it on ‘em fast, let the whole hood swim. Crowds went nuts, yellin’ “Musa, you the dude!” Felt like a champ, had the streets in a mood. But yo, hold up—I pushed too much, Cash rained wild, now they’re broke, outta touch. Merchants snap, yo, you trashed our game, Tried to bless ‘em up, now I’m takin’ the blame. [Pre-Chorus – Musa] Gold’s a breeze to toss, but it don’t stick around, Built my name up big, now it’s crashin’ down. Cash or crown, what’s it mean, what’s it mean? Gave ‘em all I had, now I’m caught in between. [Chorus – Musa] Gold for the world, what’d I score, fam, what’d I score? City’s shook, man, they can’t take more, they can’t take more! Sultan’s laughin’, you a punk, king, you a punk, king! Big talk, big walk, does gold still sing, does it sing? [Verse 2 – Musa] Markets flipped quick, chaos hittin’ the block, chaos hittin’ the block, Every coin I dropped, broke the clock, broke the clock. They grabbed my gold, then turned on me fast, King’s a bust, that’s the word they passed. I built roads, gave ‘em trade to eat, Now they’re cursin’ me out, sayin’ I cheat. Wanted to lift ‘em, not smash their hope, But I’m standin’ here, tryna cope. [Pre-Chorus – Musa] Gold’s a breeze to toss, but it don’t stick around, Built my name up big, now it’s crashin’ down. Cash or crown, what’s it mean, what’s it mean? Gave ‘em all I had, now I’m caught in between. [Chorus – Musa] Gold for the world, what’d I score, fam, what’d I score? City’s shook, man, they can’t take more, they can’t take more! Sultan’s laughin’, you a punk, king, you a punk, king! Big talk, big walk, does gold still sing, does it sing? [Bridge – Musa] Did I flex too hard, did I flop too quick, flop too quick? Dished out gold, now they’re mad as shit, mad as shit! More, Musa, more, they screamed my name, screamed my name, Flooded the streets, now I’m takin’ the blame, takin’ the blame! Prices spiked, folks can’t buy no bread, Thought I’d be the GOAT, now I’m hangin’ my head. [Final Chorus – Musa] Gold for the world, yo, what’d I gain, what’d I gain? City’s screamin’, man, you brought the pain, brought the pain! Sultan’s dissin’, you a fool, bro, you a fool, bro! Name’s fadin’ fast, where’d my cred go, where’d it go? Gold for the world, what’s the cost, what’s the cost? Streets turned on me, yo, I’m feelin’ lost, feelin’ lost! Sultan’s cacklin’, I’m sinkin’ deep, sinkin’ deep, Big king dreams, now I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep! [Outro – Musa] Gold don’t shine when it weighs you down, weighs you down, Left ‘em worse, now I’m losin’ my crown, losin’ my crown.
