LYRICS:

Fools Gold x 3
We digging that
Fools Gold x 3
They sellin that
Fools Gold x 3
We ask em that
Would you lose your soul for a little fools gold noooo

Verse 1:

fuck what they teaching, I'm seizing this moment,
my freedom is all out controlled by this gold n,
it started in school, when i gripped what they told n,
it moulded my brain just to mine till i;m old
…. i was almost a sucker, i studied the ages,
i talked with my brothers, i questioned the pages …
i thought to myself if i let this whole stage
of material gain eat away my own brain!
id be useless, a slave,
only trained to behave,
and obey, and just pay,
all my taxes, and pray ,
every day ! while I'm fading,
Im paving my way… was complacent,
but now I'm creating my fate
I've been patient but feels like I'm waiting for nothing ,
was jaded , now dealing with slaving for something,
thats basically paper with faces,
all made to create this, elitist behaviour –I hate it

Fools Gold x 3
We digging that
Fools Gold x 3
They sellin that
Fools Gold x 3
We ask em that
Would you lose your soul for a little fools gold nooo

Verse 2:
I wanna be teaching the word of a scholar
humanities herd is in squalor we worship the dollar
we earn it then burning ya wallet
the reason is marketing targeted profits
distracted by whats on the box or the phone that ya grip.
will it stop are we prone to this shit
they training consumers who think that they free
but the fact is they train how we think do ya dig.
i won’t be no prospector panning for something
ya got cheddar man are ya bluffing
we function by paying with paper or plastic.
we make it a habit.
numbers on screens its all fake and we hack it
they taking us backwards we chase an illusion
obey or be slayed is the way of the future.
embrace the abusive and pray to your lucifer
money is god are we just getting stupider?

Fools Gold x 3
We digging that
Fools Gold x 3
They sellin that
Fools Gold x 3
We ask em that
Would you lose your soul for a little fools gold noooo

Verse 3:
Pollies are puppets who rule how they told
its seems they’ve been sold. fools gold.
so how can we change, move on and evolve
and not be so lured by fools gold
celebrate muppets who do as they told
its seems they been sold fools gold
so now that we see it they selling their souls
we killing each other for fools gold
