Everything I touch, I turn to gold
I got a lot on my mind these days
I got a lot on my mind these days
Responsibilities and coming of age, there’s a crown to be claimed
I’m proud to be raised in the South West where they praise the sound of my name
I do it large, you could say I got a mountainous range
Stay sharp, I could slice this in a thousands of ways
No doubt, you best believe but before we proceed
You better double check your pockets for your wallet, phone and keys
It’s not safe to be unprepared in the jungle where
The lion’s roam, you’ll go crying home needing new underwear
Your whole life these sheep been leading you unaware
Been asleep on a gold mine not believing it's there
Put the jokes aside, I’m not the kind to be clowning with
Molks folks alive don’t know the grind but love the sound of it
What I create is legit, it’s never counterfeit
The base metal’s a negative transformed into empowerment
Everything I touch, I turn to gold
Been racking up these accolades since I was 12 years old
It ain’t even challenging I do this naturally
So pay close attention, yo, I call this Alchemy
This like the rebirth of Cassius, the rework of a classic
Make the entire globe spin with three turns on its axis
It’s unheard of: the notion of what we serve to the masses
Progress is slow motion but we hurdling backwards
I went from micro to massive, from passive to active
From hibernation to action, I was waiting to cash in
Lames whinging is tragic tryna stop my gains with a passion
But yo slow down Winston you might pop a vein while you’re at it
I come from a beastly culture, my people are savage
With a level of devotion that you couldn’t even imagine
My raps smoke em outta the jungle and leave em in ashes
These cats think they flow is hard but they seemingly flaccid
Man swimming in currency while the ocean drowning in plastics
If your foundation is weak you’ll get pulled down in them rapids
What I cultivate naturally culminates into magic
This kind access is evidence of a higher practice
Everything I touch, I turn to gold
Been racking up these accolades since I was 12 years old
It ain’t even challenging I do this naturally
So pay close attention, yo, I call this Alchemy
You can be the sum of your mistakes or the product of your wins
Crawl your way to mediocrity or spread your wings (spread em)
Unworthy or deserving, man it really all depends
How you define what's staring back at you is where it all begins
It's a matter of perspective and you're standing at the precipice
There's always a solution regardless of what the method is
Where you go depends on wherever you place the emphasis
But always know the road worth taking is far from effortless
You plot, plan and scheme, calculate the measurements
Overthink the dream and contemplate the estimates
But even a genius can't anticipate their deficits
Persistence pays, that’s how you graduate to excellence
Trials and tribulations will test your resolve
You’ll get offered shortcuts if you agree to sell your soul
And there’ll be many days when motivation may dissolve
But you can reach infinity with a mind that’s made of gold
That’s Alchemy
Everything I touch, I turn to gold
Been racking up these accolades since I was 12 years old
It ain’t even challenging I do this naturally
So pay close attention, yo, I call this Alchemy
