Midas

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, I resorted to a life of crime, didn't fit the paradigm just turned that way from be hooked on grime
And now I'm on top of the world and never lookin' back, I'm on the attack, waitin' for the plaque
And I'm 'bout to have so many, gettin' more gonna be like "ehhhhh throw it on the rack"
Feel the gold rush in, bein' this good feels like a sin, every time puttin' pen to paper, pen another win
And I'm spittin' out flames like rap's my twin speakin' to me within like now you got a mission
I'm Nero, see me fiddle in thе flames with a line that's a riddle, you'rе my pickle
Jimmy eatin' worlds while he's in the middle, King Midas spinnin' down gold and fendin' off the kittle

[Chorus]
Everything I touch it turns to gold
Only after I awoke could I be bold
Everything I touch, it turns to gold, to gold, to gold
Midas does not get old, no he don't

[Verse 2]
Got the prize in eye, but I wanna know why there's always a sty interferin' with my Pi
Still Alpha Omi Kappa and I would never lie
Always got the golden touch, but I don't use it much, my ratio's golden that's why it's used on music and such
No cap, Parappa The Rapper, hittin' you with a kick, punch, chop and you'll never see it comin' from this dorky ass trapper
I don't fuck around, leave you on the ground, then hunt your girl down and hit her with the clapper
With the lights turnin' on and off faster, bed-frame slammin' off pieces of the plaster, she ain't gonna forget
And neither will I, so good I ought to cast her

[Chorus]
Everything I touch it turns to gold
Only after I awoke could I be bold
Everything I touch, it turns to gold, to gold, to gold
Midas does not get old

[Verse 3]
Call me Midas if I choose to touch it that gold will shine out the brightest
Not a King but my sword is made from metal that's sharp but the lightest
Run up on my castle but know my defenses are tightest
And I'll be the first one camped on the knoll like Titus
I do my best to keep my strikes in the frame, markin' down X is the name of the game
And I'm always gonna win when I am busy gettin' better instead of passin' off a buck or findin' someone else to blame
Always elevate, that's why I innovate, so here's a royal mandate the king says he want around your gate
Proclamatin' time is now 'cause he know he made of gold and that he worth weight

[Chorus]
Everything I touch it turns to gold
Only after I awoke could I be bold
Everything I touch, it turns to gold
Midas does not get old (no he don't)
