Born Golden Landis Von Jones, he is signed to the music label - Sony/Columbia. The 20-year-old from the bay area, is more than just a rapper, he sings, writes, and acts. He enjoys playing basketball and painting. His song “Love or Lust” from the album ‘El Do
rado’ released March 26, 2021. He described,
“I think this song really came together because of the great conjunction. It was a couple of months back, and it was like Saturn was aligning with Jupiter so you could see both of them at the same time. Apparently, it only happens once every 20 years, but it’s supposed to bring good energy. Oftentimes, some of my best songs, I’ll come into the studio with the melody beforehand or an idea of what we’re going to make before, but this one I came in with no expectations. The melody just popped in my brain, and all the writing and everything just came together so easily. With my generation, Gen Z, it’s a constant struggle between love and lust. Everyone needs real love. Everyone’s looking for real love, but there’s so many artificial substitutes—Instagram likes, Tinder swipes and stuff like that. My generation longs for that real love, but it’s hard to find out here.”
Intro
It’s love or it’s lust, we just need to be clear
‘Cause if you’re in love, then I shouldn’t be here
It’s never enough, so I gotta leave you now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
Verse 1
Would you walk eight thousand miles just to make me smile on a rainy Wednesday?
If so, then you gots to go, it ain’t mutual and I’m not pretending
Green light, I’m the kryptonite to your love life, no happy ending
You need to slow down, shawty, you way too focused on me
Callin’ all the time, blowin’ up my line crazy (Yeah-yeah)
Now I gotta hide, do the duck and dive daily
Couldn’t see the signs, you’re a Gemini
Shoulda known (Ayy, ayy)
Shoulda kno-o-own
Chorus
It’s love or it’s lust, we just need to be clear
‘Cause if you’re in love, then I shouldn’t be here
What’s warm to the touch, is colder than winter now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
It’s love or it’s lust, we just need to be clear
‘Cause if you’re in love, then I shouldn’t be here
It’s never enough, so I gotta leave you now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
Verse 2
When destiny calls, it won’t be for me
Yeah, you should move on, there’s nothin’ to see here (No)
Isn’t my fault you fall into pieces
Told you from the jump (Jump), I can’t give you what you want
Said you’d keep your cool, we could take it slow (Take it slow)
‘Til you heard my song on the radio
And now we can’t go back to the way it was before (Before)
Before, oh-oh-oh
Chorus
It’s love or it’s lust, we just need to be clear
‘Cause if you’re in love, then I shouldn’t be here
What’s warm to the touch, is colder than winter now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
It’s love or it’s lust (Oh-oh, oh), we just need to be clear (Oh-oh, oh)
‘Cause if you’re in love (Oh-oh, oh), then I shouldn’t be here
It’s never enough, so I gotta leave you now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
Bridge
Who told you to be so rude?
You’re actin’ too irrational (You crazy, girl)
I told you the truth so let me be now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
Chorus
It’s love or it’s lust, we just need to be clear
‘Cause if you’re in love, then I shouldn’t be here
What’s warm to the touch, is colder than winter now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
It’s love or it’s lust (Oh-oh, oh), we just need to be clear (Oh-oh, oh)
‘Cause if you’re in love (Oh-oh, oh), then I shouldn’t be here
It’s never enough, so I gotta leave you now
Ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
