TITLE: MORE THAN GOLD Style: 90s East Coast / Bad Boy Rap Inspiration: Mase — lazy-smooth cadence, catchy hooks, conversational flow, soulful sample beat Production: Warm soul vocal sample, heavy steady bass, crisp snare, classic boom-bap drums, subtle piano loop Tempo: 91 BPM Vibe: Confident, humble, real, head-nodding [INTRO] (Sample loops, beat drops smooth) Bruthagee: Yeah… Pinnacle Sound we moving up Uh huh… Come on… You can have the world… Imma keep the Lord… Selling my soul is something I can't afford.. [VERSE 1] (Smooth, laid-back Mase-style flow) People chase the paper, chase the fame, chase the glow Think if they get it all, then they’ll never feel low But I seen rich men cry, I seen poor men smile I seen plenty get it all but lose their soul in a while You can stack it to the ceiling, buy the cars and the chains But you can’t buy one more breath when your time remains I used to want it all too — fast life, fast cash Till I realized the gold just fades and it turns to ash God gave me the vision, opened up my eyes Now I know the truth is way more precious than the prize You can keep the bank account, keep the land and the house I’d rather have His peace than the whole world’s clout [CHORUS] (Catchy, melodic hook) It’s God over money — always first place Can’t buy back your soul, can’t earn His grace Wealth is just a tool, not the goal of your life Keep your eyes on the King and you’ll be alright God over money — yeah, that’s the only way He’s the treasure that don’t fade away [VERSE 2] (Same smooth flow, deeper message) Don’t get me wrong — yeah, we gotta eat and provide But don’t let the dollar sign be your only guide Some will sell their morals, sell their peace for a check End up empty-handed with nothing left to expect He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, owns the gold If He’s on your side, then you never go cold Seek Him first and He’ll take care of the rest Put your faith in His word, not what’s in your vest Rich toward God — that’s the real success No amount of cash can measure your worth or your blessedness So count your blessings, not your bills Make sure your foundation stands on solid hills [BRIDGE] (Beat strips back to bass and sample) Yeah… You can’t take it with you… When you leave this place… Only what you’ve done for Him… Only His grace… Think about it… [FINAL CHORUS] (Full groove, ad-libs) It’s God over money — always first place Can’t buy back your soul, can’t earn His grace Wealth is just a tool, not the goal of your life Keep your eyes on the King and you’ll be alright God over money — yeah, that’s the only way He’s the treasure that don’t fade away [OUTRO] (Beat fades slow) Bruthagee… 90s flow… God first… Always… (Fade out)
