Close
Closer than most
I just see so much of you and I want a better view
Closer than most
(Sound so soulful)
Gotta go and get it I'll do whatever it takes
Bout to rob this nigga for whatever he makes
I ain't never slowing down I ain't Pressing the brakes
Got twelve right behind me I ain't catching a case
See, nobody believed but I believed in myself
If I had listened to you I'd still be packing the shelf's
Odds was heavily against me I asked god for the help
And he gave me the talent to express whatever I felt
I be, working towards these dream all day go to work at night
Bills pass due but I'm out here trynna make it right
Steady on my grind so I have a lot of sleepless nights
They say nothing comes easy, pay the price
Nobody checking for me, well imma grab their attention
And imma show you what I'm about without a failure to mention
All the hate I had to deal with cuz they can't see the vision
But I'm steadily moving forward ain't no other decision
I ain't like you other niggas who just praying and wishing
You ain't been thru what I been thru you can't play my position
Cuz back when I was young there was no food in the kitchen
Everyday it was the same like I was stuck in the prison
But, now I have no fear and I don't care what you do to me
F*ck how you feel I'm just rapping what is true to me
Don't have a nice car a big house or no jewelries
Just trynna get this paper so everyday I'm just trynna be close!
Close... to that money
Closer than most... yeah!
I just wanna be close..... uh
Closer than most... whatever it takes
I'm just out to get it and I see it right in front of me
Worldwide tours front pages where I'm gonna be
Grandfather said work hard and it'll come to me
Lazy ass niggas get nothing you a bum to me
Do what I gotta do, whatever it takes to survive
A lot of niggas living but they barely alive
Couldn't see myself happy working 9-5
So when you see me out just know that there's a fire inside
And it's never going out I just gotta keep it going
I'll never shut my mouth I'll forever keep flowing
I'm never having doubt that's why imma keep showing
What I'm all about that's why imma keep growing
And everything I been thru they said time would heal
And right now time is money ain't no time to kill
Ain't got time for games trynna signs deal
Money in my account the only void I'm trynna fill cuz I'm close
Close... to that money
Closer than most... yeah!
I just wanna be close... uh
Closer than most... whatever it takes
I be wide awake but having dreams of success
Of how I'm born in the East but now I circle the west
Finally spitting things I never could get off of my chest
Admitting things my mother probably would've never confessed
But it's ok, cuz we on now, now we gone now
Nobody able to stop cuz we knocking doors down
The labels can't even drop us cuz you want more sound
The whole city, they got us whenever I come around but
I ain't being cocky just speaking it to existence
Far way to go but I'm ready for all the distance
Know it won't be easy I'm ready for the resistance
They gon try to stop me I gotta keep my persistence
So this is what I said, this is what I'm gonna do
Imma keep working on me keep stunting in front of you
Imma do what it takes so these dreams imma pursue
Till I'm able to just chill there right in front of a view cuz I'm
Close... to that money
Closer than most... yeah!
I just wanna be close... uh
Closer than most... whatever it takes
NDO
No days off
And that's real
I'm out!!
