Golden Years Lyrics

[Intro: Bliss]
Yeah
Check it out it goes like this, Yo

[Verse 1: Bliss]
It's the warmth when it's cold and it's storming
It's drifting off to the sound of the rain
It's getting up, kicking goals in the morning
It's lifting off from the ground with your flame
It's the strength to withstand life lessons
It's the clock as the hand strikes seconds
It's my movie, where every memory's another colour I collect to expand my spectrum
It's the simple days
Childhood here now, then it's gone in an instant
Back when the wall around my world was a little too high to see beyond in the distance
It's the smell of my mitt in the fresh grass
Little league and the times that I'm so free
It's snow days, Martachello park
When the sleds hit the hills and they're flying through the oak trees
It's the kid who collects cards
Back in '91 summertime coming out the store, and
It's the fact he's unwrapping the pack with a smile on his dial cause he's scoring the Jordan
Past times, I hold 'em dear
It's Maryland, Virginia, bold and clear
The way the leaves on those trees in the streets would fall
In the fall all to paint my golden years and yeah
[Hook: Eso]
When the sky is gray, I live on light rays
I've written every page of my life's play
I've drawn through my eyes, I've coloured outside the lines
Trynna hold these golden years that are flashing by
When the sky is gray, I live on light rays
I've written every page of my life's play
I've drawn through my eyes, I've coloured outside the lines
Trynna hold these golden years that are flashing by

[Verse 2: Eso]
It's a bumpy road
Trynna steer through the years of a genius
Can't conceal what I feel, this is real and the deal is it heals like the tears from a phoenix
And I remember those days with my dad
In the great outdoors getting raised by the land
Not knowing how hard life gets
Call me Huckleberry when I start my quest
So jump on my cloud, sit back and lounge
My wings are the size of a rich rapper's house
I'll never leave, so picture a viking who's
Memory is like Christian the Lion
That was me going town to town
On fireworks night you couldn't count me out
My mate's older brothers had a hundred of the buggers
Take cover cause we nearly burned down the house
I remember when they took away my Wu-Tang
Sitting there till the bell in my school rang
Playing pool on the cool where the rules are abused
My adventure to the center where the youth hang
And grandma's, we'd visit every journey
A living room stage where I'd mimic Eddie Murphy
Or kid and play, I'd play delirious

So damn much they couldn't take me serious
[Hook]
When the sky is gray, I live on light rays
I've written every page of my life's play
I've drawn through my eyes, I've coloured outside the lines
Trynna hold these golden years that are flashing by
When the sky is gray, I live on light rays
I've written every page of my life's play
I've drawn through my eyes, I've coloured outside the lines
Trynna hold these golden years that are flashing by

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
