[Verse 1]
24-carat gold around my neck so bright
Thick white girl sittin’ right here by my side
Cruisin’ down the road in a red Impala ride
Engine hummin’ steady, movin’ with the tide
Look out the window, what do I see?
Rows of palm trees swayin’ in the breeze
But don’t let the view fool you, let me make it plain
I’m that same country boy, ain’t never gonna change
[Chorus]
24-carat gold, red Impala roll
Thick lady next to me, heart full of soul
Palm trees in the distance, city lights so new
But I’m a nigga from the country — that part stays true
Yeah, born and raised out where the open roads run long
Carry that country feel no matter where I roam
[Verse 2]
They see the shine, they see the ride, they see the scene
But they don’t know the roots deep down inside of me
Comes from the land where the dust meets the sky
Worked hard for every piece, never asked why
Red Impala glidin’ past the palm tree line
Still got that country wisdom, still got that old mind
City views look pretty, but I know where I stand
I’m country through and through, every inch, every plan
[Bridge]
Gold don’t change who you are, wheels just take you far
The palm trees fade away, but your home stays where you are
Yeah, I roll in style, yeah, I ride in class
But that country upbringing is the thing that lasts
[Outro]
24-carat gold… red Impala flow…
Palm trees out the window… but I’m country, you know…
From the land, from the dirt, from the heart, from the soul…
A nigga from the country — and that’s how it goes.
