“Gold (Intro),” from Adekunle Gold’s 2016 debut album, “Gold”, is a powerful declaration of artistic identity and purpose. In this solemn track, he recounts moments of falling down and being brave, referencing a 2008 conversation with God who told him, “Son you are golden, there’s nothing better than gold”. The lyrics set a poetic depth and soulful tone for the album.
[Verse1]
Been through a lot I’m standing strong
Gone through hell but I’m still so cool
Is there anything I want to be known for?
It’s that I wasn’t known to give up
Many times have fallen down
No time I got's to rise up
Is there anything I want you to remember
It’s that I have been brave
[Verse 2]
2008, I wanted a name
I spoke to God, he took me to church
He said son you are golden
There’s nothing better, better than gold
Now I’m in the light, I'm shining bright
It is my time, I will live it like it’s gold
[Outro]
Call me gold
Cause I am gold
I’m made of gold
Call me gold
Eh eh
Cause I’m golden
Oh oh
I’m made of gold
