About the Song: 'Golden Test' emerged from a moment in my life when unexpected wealth revealed who truly cared about me. Each verse follows the journey of watching relationships shift and explores the universal fear that accompanies good fortune: will those around you still remain when circumstances change? The final lines reveal the song's true heart—that genuine wealth isn't found in money but in relationships that weather all seasons. Those who stay become the real "gold" worth treasuring.

[Intro]
“Money flow in, true colors show…
Old friends swarm like bees to dough!
Dis ya story? It’s a golden test…
Who loves you, and who loves di gucci vest?”
(Cha-ching! Troubles begin!)
[Verse 1]
Dem all a-call mi “Cash Cow”…
(Moo-money, moo!)
Old crew line up fi “cash out”…
Since mi struck gold inna di dirt,
Mi phone dead—but dem nuh hurt!
[Verse 2]
Mi ‘fraid fi answer di door…
(Who dat? Gold-digger!)
‘Fraid fi check bank—heart sore…
Family crawl outta di woodwork…
Now mi dem “favorite cousin”—what a werk!
[Chorus]
Mi jaw drop when di gold mi sight…
Like Scrooge McDuck inna di vault at night!
If mi keep mi mout’ shut tight…
(Hush-money!)
Dem cyan’t trace di gold’s flight…
But when di news broke loose…
(Madness!)
Whole world lose dem mind—oh, what a ruse!
[Verse 3]
Sudden, friends sweet like sugarcane…
(Sugar-coated lies!)
One bredren claim him love mi brain…
Dem weh mi nuh see since teenage years…
Now a-buy drinks, drownin’ mi fears!
[Verse 4]
Marriage proposals inna mi DMs…
(Gold-diggin’ gems!)
If dem true, why silence back then?
Neighbors weh neva say “Good mornin’”…
Now dem want fi swim—bombo clot!
[Bridge]
If dis a di billionaire life…
(Pressure, pressure!)
Mi ‘fraid when di money cut like knife…
What if mi spend it all tonight?
(Empty pockets…)
When di coins done, will yuh still hold tight?
[Chorus]
Mi jaw drop when di gold mi sight…
Like Scrooge McDuck inna di vault at night!
If mi keep mi mout’ shut tight…
(Hush-money!)
Dem cyan’t trace di gold’s flight…
But when di news broke loose…
(Madness!)
Whole world lose dem mind—oh, what a ruse!
[Outro]
Gold come, gold go—true friends dem few…
(Real ones stay!)
If di money vanish, mi still know you…
The ones weh love mi through an’ through…
(No price tag pon love!)
So let di vultures fly away…
Mi riches? Di ones who stay
(Di ones who stay)
