Lyrics

Three Feet from Gold by C. Abrokwah & M. Lyons (Thaahum & Entyce)

CHORUS

Sometimes you have to do what you don?t like,
In order to get what you want in life, Be willing to make that sacrifice,
How many minutes tick, how many moments missed?
Pull from the unknown to help yourself get grown, you can make it on your own.

VERSE 1
I wake for the hustle while they city?s asleep,
Working for the big picture, not small peeks.
I pray and I weep, hoping it?s the promise I keep.
To give my love and my kids the real life they seek,
No draggin? my feet, this time I?m picking the slack,
Everything you sacrificed for me I?m giving it back,
Infinte fold, I ask a little longer you hold,
I?m almost done diggin, three feet from gold.
I know I fucked up before, but now I?ve advanced,
Another chance? Release the pain caused in the past,
This is my word. I know a lot I got on your nerves.
I want to give those close to me the life they deserve.
I prayed and you heard in every shake, rattle, and curve,
Helped me see the lessons, when I thought the trials absurd,
Nights and days, guided me right through the maze.
To where I am now, on to the next phase, c?mon!

REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2 (sung by Entyce)
Sometimes when things don?t work out you seem to lose your way
But you got to keep on moving to make it another day,
You?ll find your calling just as soon as you find your way
Just know what you can do, and surely you?ll find your place
Don?t give up, keep your head up high,
Believe in yourself, and you can touch the sky.
?Cause everybody, tend to make mistakes,
But that?s a part of life, don?t let it get in your way.

REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
Ain?t dying today, done moved too much,
Past non-believers who could give two fucks,
Made an Infinte supply from only two ducks,
Now they all in a row, look at what I have to show,
A phat record deal without being a hoe.
Smart enough to recoup and make back my own doe.
I know what it?s like when you almost there.
Near your goal, but it seems nobody cares,
People turned they back when you needed them most,
You losing hope, safety net, no longer close,
Do you get frustrated and see them with spite?
Naw, visualize you made it with all of your mite.
Inner strength erases whys and how comes,
You got this far continue the outcome,
Be proud that you?ve done this much, don?t fold,
Keep diggin Gods and Goddesses, three feet from gold, c?mon!

REPEAT CHORUS
