gold : english literature piece

Gold up in my teeth (taste like money when I speak)

    [i'm ballin' coz you & i got dollars and together we're wealthy -  but money doesn't buy happiness]

Don’t care what you say to me, I’mma bite your feelings out

    [i'll speak my mind no matter what]

And I missed you in the basement (bodies on the pavement)

Bu your bro was a good substitute for you

    [you're absent as usual, so i'll interact with your bro instead]

If you love me, love me, but you never let me go

    [if you love me you'd let me be free]

When the roof was on fire you never let me know

    [you don't express emotions so i can't tell if all is ok with you or not]

Say you’re sorry, honey, but you never really show

    [you always apologise yet you never change or adapt or show me you're truly sorry]

And I could leave the party without ever letting you know

    [i can be present in body but absent in mind and you'll never know or care]
