glitter ain't gold - james cook lyrics

“glitter ain’t gold”
(rnb/neo*soul concept)

[verse 1]
she want the fast life,chanel on her wrist
dolce& gabbana, just to flex on her pics
late*night texts from a man with a roll
she don’t ask questions long as the money get old

[pre*chorus]
diamonds dancin’ under the light
but the shine don’t warm her on a cold, cold night
promises whispered,but love ain’t sold
she just wanna sparkle—don’t care how it go

[chorus]
’cause everything glitter ain’t gold
she just wanna shine,don’t wanna grow old
fast money,fast life, lose control
but the price of the glam ain’t the story untold

[verse 2]
prada bags,but her heart feel cheap
lamborghini dreams with a backseat weep
he say he love her,but it’s love on lease
another sad girl tryna buy her peace
[bridge] (melancholic neo*soul groove)
she was innocent once, had a fire in her soul
now the city got her,turned her heart into chrome
mirror,mirror, who’s the coldest in town?
but the reflection don’t smile when the glamour runs out

[outro] (soft, reflective, trailing off)
glitter fades when the morning hits
all that’s left is the weight of the risk…
she just wanted the ice,not the cold…
but everything glitter…ain’t gold

[chorus] (repeat with ad*libs)
everything glitter ain’t gold…(no, no)
she just wanna shine,don’t wanna grow old… (ohhh)
fast money,fast life, lose control… (she’s fallin’)
but the price of the glam ain’t the story untold…

glitter fades when the morning hits
all that’s left is the weight of the risk…
she just wanted the ice,not the cold…
but everything glitter…ain’t gold
