[Chorus]
The chorus shows the artist reflecting on his achievements and goals. He’s proud of what he has earned through hard work and consistency, comparing it to black gold. He moves carefully, enjoying life while staying focused on his craft. He values his lyrics and the effort behind them, wanting to improve even more next year.

[Verse]
In the verse, he talks about living a life where creativity and discipline guide him. He works automatically, yet with intention, letting his years of effort and practice make his name stand out. He compares his creative process to navigating challenges and maintaining his ego while staying productive. Even when distractions appear, he focuses on his writing, taking his time to craft each line carefully. The notebook represents guidance, reflection, and sometimes a voice reminding him to stay awake and keep improving.

He reflects on superficial measures like money, titles, or recognition and contrasts them with the deeper value of his art. For him, black gold is the work he creates—writing, speaking, and consistently expressing his ideas. He treats every piece of paper and every line as sacred, almost like a lasting legacy, shaping eternity with his words. His art becomes a form of self-expression that documents his truths and experiences, giving him both freedom and discipline.

The verse also emphasizes learning and growth. Every letter and page becomes a way to teach himself and others, challenging minds to think deeply and absorb lessons from his craft. He stays up late, fully immersed in creating, refining, and perfecting his work. Through repeated practice, reflection, and dedication, he connects his purpose to his craft, trusting it will help him in larger life struggles. His art and discipline are a constant battle and a source of spiritual fulfillment, giving him a sense of accomplishment beyond material rewards.

[Chorus]
This chorus expands on the earlier one by emphasizing his focus on growth and progress. He’s not just proud of what he’s achieved but is also looking ahead, planning to double his “black gold,” which represents both his earnings and his creative output. He moves deliberately, appreciating every step in his journey, and values his lyrics, form, and faith in his craft. The chains and gold are symbols of hard-earned success, showing that recognition comes from effort, not luck. The repetition of wanting to increase his stats next year highlights his ambition, while crowning represents both respect and achievement. It captures a mix of confidence, reflection, and determination, showing he’s aware of his accomplishments but still hungry for more, balancing pride with discipline.
