Aftergold Lyrics

(Want some of that green rain)
(Want some of that green rain)
(Want some of that green rain)
(Want some of that green rain)

Now think about it how cool it would it be
To have diamonds on the soles of my feet
But I worn these sneakers since I was thirteen
It's just cruel, it ain't sweet
Count my blessings easily
It goes three, two, one, me

You want some of that green rain?
That chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
You want a twenty karat ball and chain?
Ka-ching, ka-ching
You want a pilot and a jet plane?
They go a chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
Newsflash, it ain't worth the pain
Ka-ching, ka-ching

(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

Think about how chic it would be
With rhinestones on my sheets
Like a queen, pockets leak
Mmm, so empty indeed
And that's just cruel, it ain't sweet
I give up so easily
It's still three, two, one, me

You want some of that green rain?
That chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
You want a twenty karat ball and chain?
Ka-ching, ka-ching
You want a pilot and a jet plane?
They go a chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
Newsflash, it ain't worth the pain
Ka-ching, ka-ching

Ain't got no money, I ain't got no power
Can't find the floor and this beat's getting louder
Give into me, come on, give me some
Ow
Watch those golden gates
Open up for me
With a twenty karat ball and chain
I will make it rain

You want some of that green rain?
That chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
You want a twenty karat ball and chain?
Ka-ching, ka-ching
You want a pilot and a jet plane?
They go a chi-ka-ching, chi-ka-ching
Newsflash, it ain't worth the pain
Ka-ching, ka-ching

What is the Meaning of Aftergold?

Ever feel like the allure of wealth is just a blinged-out illusion? This track serves up a glitzy reality check. It's all about the deceptive sparkle of materialism and the false promise that money equals happiness. The lyrics tell us that chasing after "green rain" (read: cash) or a "twenty karat ball and chain" (read: ostentatious jewelry) isn't worth the pain. Instead, genuine joy comes from simpler things - like well-worn sneakers and counting blessings. So next time you're dreaming about diamond-studded sheets, remember it's not always as glamorous as it seems! #MaterialismMyth #TrueHappiness
