Track by Track: El Dorado
The final track of the PSYCHE Mixtape whooooo! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 So I wrote El Dorado after I had just come back from London and I was feeling so good about the direction of my life. I was like damn all these stereotypes and statistics about what I was supposed to achieve and I just came back from London! My life feels like a fucking music video right now. And all the insecurities I had about my abilities and whether I would achieve what I set out to achieve just disappeared. I would look around at the wealthy, predominately white school I was in and feel like “damn I don’t know, they have a lot more shit than I have, I don’t know how I’m going to get to where I want to be…” but at that moment I had a change of perspective. I was like “I started off with way less than almost everyone here and we in the same room!” I just really felt like everywhere I go will become my own personal El Dorado and I’m gonna make it rain gold. The chorus lyrics just came out without a thought and they’re some of my favorite lyrics on this mixtape. They’re very concise and I say exactly what I mean to say.
Me and my girls we know what we want
My girls being the PSYCHE girls
Private jets, 30 in lace fronts
And we play these boys just like a game
I feel like at this point in my life was when I really started it feel powerful… like these boys really eatin out the palm of my hand
He ready to offer the sky
And I know that his main bitch tight
Cuz in her mouth she got my name
I think I said this before… but dudes’ girlfriends really do not like me regardless of whether I have even spoken to their man. I’m so not going to be worried bout everyone’s hurt feelings for something that really got nothing to do with me. Like yes, hon I will take your man.
Ooo baby these hoes all mad
Did I hurt her feelings oh my bad
But she got time to stay pressed
And if she ain’t pullin up well I got to get dressed
I got too much going on to be worried about insecure bitches
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
El Dorado- City of gold
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Thus far everything I’ve touched has turned to gold and I can see all my future success on the horizon 🤩
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Had to shoutout my city😤
Baby boy don’t deserve shit
Every lie he told I saw through it
How clueless does he think I am
At this point, I was really past the boy drama I was not even bothered anymore
But intuition is a gift
Shoutout Yummy
Thank god I didn’t end up with
Some other bitch’s problem
Unless you got shit to say
Baby girl I’m a need you to stay out my way
Like my success has nothing to do with you so Imma stay outta your way and you better stay out of mine
And I know you been checking for me like everyday
Because y’all hate-watching the whole world go my way
I did mean this as in hate-watching, like checking up on me, acting like hater and still watching all my progress but the other way is fine too
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Isabela
Wow imagine being this blessed
Imagine being this fine, this talented
All this success on the horizon
Girl I don’t know I couldn’t tell you
Why or how
It just be like that it
Just happens you know
It’s raining gold and silver
And diamond diamond rings
It’s raining emeralds and sapphires
And other shiny things
It’s raining gold
Oh oh it’s raining gold
Yummy
I make it rain gold
I make it rain
I make it rain gold
I make it I make it
Hey hey
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Wherever I go
Becomes an El Dorado
From London to Chicago
Wherever I go it rains gold
Chi town wassup what’s good?
Cassie
We catchin’ flights
We gettin’ paid
I know success is on the way
I make my money all by myself
I buy my things without daddy’s help
That generational wealth really be working for a lot of people, especially in the music industry 👀 and I be salty about it but I’m crazy proud of myself for what I’ve accomplished in spite of not having those advantages and Imma keep going so…
I appreciate anybody who took the time to read all the entries in this Track by Track series. I enjoy making rabbit holes for future Psychics and hope people will come back from time to time to enjoy these entries. I hope you realize reading these how much of me went into creating this project. I made so many things just because I really loved this concept and wanted to see it fully realized, not because I have a bunch of eyes of me and need to make content for the sake of making content. I’ve heard over and over again that’s all about the quick single and the Tik Tok trend or whatever but I had a really strong vision for this. I really believe I just have to keep following my gut when it comes to my art, hope it’ll pay off, and hope that I’ll get to meet future Psychics. I hope that this project resonates with Psychics and that you hold it in your heart for a long time.
So much love 💖💖💖💖💖💖
