__//Golden//__
I'm taking my freedom, Pulling it off the shelf, Putting it on my chain, Wear it around my neck, I'm taking my freedom, Putting it in my car, Wherever I choose to go, It will take me far, The previous stanza shows personification. [Chorus] I'm livin' my life like it's golden Livin' my life like it's golden, [X3] Livin' my life like it's golden, golden, Livin' my life like it's golden, [X4] Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,

[Verse 2] <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'm taking my own freedom <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Putting it in my song, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Singing loud and __ strong __, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Grooving all day long, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'm taking my __ freedom __, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Putting it in my stroll, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'll be high-steppin' y'all, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Letting the joy unfold, The previous stanza shows personification. <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">[Chorus]

<span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'm holding on to my freedom, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Can't take it from me, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I was born into it, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">It comes naturally, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'm strumming my own freedom, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Playing the god in me, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Representing his glory, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Hope he's proud of me,

<span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">[Chorus]

<span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">I'm living my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, [X2]

<span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">[Chorus]

<span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">[Jill Scott:] <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Livin' my life like it's golden, <span style="color: #ae04e8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">It really matters to me, Ohhh

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">﻿I feel that this song represents the carpe diem theme in that she is freeing herself from bondage. She is going to go wherever it is that she wants to go and do whatever she wants to do. I believe that the 1st verse is abcdabcd the 2nd verse is abbbabbb.

A part of the song that sticks out to me is //__Playing the God in me,Representing His glory,Hope He's proud of me,__// I am a Christian, so when I leave this earth, I want the Lord to say, "Servant, well done." We all try to be the best person we can be to please our parents and ourselves. I feel that everyone wants to be validated by someone for all the good that they do. :)
