lirik lagu jimmy nice - the story of the golden child

[interlude]
exactly! so—exactly
so, when you hear me, you hear my pain
you hear my soul. you hear my story
you really think they gon’ playing these cats
five, ten, fifteen years from now?
please, that sh~t was here and then it wasn’t
water under the bridge

[intro]
stand up
(stand up)
ayy

[verse 1]
this story started with a father departing the home
a day after my date of birth, wouldn’t answer the phone
did he ever love us? my mother would brave it alone
hard to contemplate it aftеr having two kids of my own
more on that later, though, the yеar is ’88 and the radio
rattlin’ “better be home soon” by crowded house
the green couch, champion ruby pouch, the shouts
but the sounds of the old steam trains would drown it out
fast forward to kindergarten, my grandma bought us the
clothes we wanted, though, you know she got it on layby
character charismatic from yay high
refused to read a line of music, yet i conducted the orchestra
start to notice girls i’d rather ditch the recorder for
as i recall, my first kiss, it was fourth form
i knew desire, born rose covered with th~rns
similar feelings that my family caught in a storm, you see
poppy was a tennis champ, hands with calluses
on his lap at the hospital, i sat as he handed us
an empty slazenger tin with forty racks in it, then
a day later he died on dialysis
i’d fake tummy aches so i could stay home
watch bruce lee movies and pretend i was grown
we talkin’ dial~up internet with your friends on the phone
mum worked the night shift, my life shifts to the unknown
[chorus]
and as we roll along
so far from where we started from
story of the golden child
stand up
and as we roll along
we chase the setting sun (steady on the run)
tell me the one about the golden child
with the cheshire smile that make the [?] go wild

[verse 2]
new millennium here, sydney held the games this year
and with each step’s a threat that the end is near
the towers fell, honey’s are hummin’ blu cantrell
[?] a few incels, we had a
piano at home with echoes of bach
was in a red rx7 when i heard pac, and now
i walk different, i talk different
new vanity, family members sayin’ you’re distant
‘fore i laid tracks, i laid on train tracks
“what you’re paintin’, none of that gon’ make your paper stack”
he said, i said to keep my reputation intact
i saw a gun in his dresser, but didn’t press him on that
now it’s ’03, only my homies know that i’m nice (nice)
and i’m gainin’ notoriety with the name that i write
i knew a kid around the way that knew a kid, i think he spit
the illest sh~t i ever heard in my life, the mic ripper
witty, polite, the right mixture
from this day forward, we started rhymin’ together
find a better pair, i find you a liar, instead of
takin’ the road another chose, we followed our hearts
which changed lives and inspired a fire inside
without us, n0body’s puttin’ women in their rhymes
my mother died, his father died, held each other tight
but the syndicate is forever, i got you for life, for life
[chorus]
and as we roll along
so far from where we started from
story of the golden child
uh

[interlude]
yo, keep the beat like that, [?], i wanna talk to the people
if you made it this far in the song, you a real one
leader, it’s for you

[verse 3]
bein’ a father was always part of my destiny
i made good with the little that was left for me
one day, i’m drivin’ my car, and it sounds bizarre
but i saw a man standin’ to the left of me
was it him? parked, approached and lowered my brim
been a lifetime, so i don’t know where to begin
then we locked eyes, do you recognise my face?
had to go, so i chose another time and a place
then i gave him my number just so we can keep in touch
and a couple dollars, i know he’d been sleepin’ rough
that’s when i got the call that sober me up
“your father suffered a stroke that turned his brains to mush”
well, d~mn, tears fell right where i stand
but then they dry, ’cause i don’t really know that man
if this the last you hear from me, you have my soul
may the heirs to my throne assume the control
sh~t, i’m the closest to cole, i’m the closest to kendrick
and deep inside of hearts and minds, i am cemented
2025, it’s time to transcend
for a cinematic twist, let’s keep this open~ended
jimmy nice is dead, jimmy nice is dead
next week, you’ll see how we be comin’ instead
same crew, same songs, but there’s been a name change
from today on, you can call me
