Heyyy, Ohh, Heyyy, Yeah, Ohh, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahhhh
 
 [Verse 1]
 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,
 
 [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]
 I'm taking my own freedom 
 Putting it in my song,
 Singing loud and strong,
 Grooving all day long,
 I'm taking my freedom,
 Putting it in my stroll,
 I'll be high-steppin' y'all,
 Letting the joy unfold,
 
 [Chorus]
 
 I'm holding on to my freedom,
 Can't take it from me,
 I was born into it,
 It comes naturally,
 I'm strumming my own freedom,
 Playing the god in me,
 Representing his glory,
 Hope he's proud of me,
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Bridge]
 I'm living my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, [X2]
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Jill Scott:]
 Livin' my life like it's golden,
 It really matters to me, Ohhh
 
 [Bridge X5]
