D.R. Da Rula - So Close So Far Lyrics

I guess you can call it a mid life crisis
I'm toe to toe with the man in the mirror exchanging precisely
I'm pushing 30 so pushing P don't really excite me
In due time I gotta make shorty my wifey
Listen he who finds a woman finds a good thang
On top of of your work you gotta have good faith
I go to work everyday pull up late so they know that I aint a good slave
Leave early and still collect the full pape
I'm pimping the system
I wrote this shit when I heard about Vincent
Mr. Simmons spent my mothers lifetime in a prison
Three generations and he just go acquitted
No evidence 40 years later and he preaching forgiveness
Aint that some shit need to tune my heart
Hold myself accountable when I aint doing my part
Know what I gotta do I just aint start
Flood coming still aint built that ark
Create the waves you niggas ride getting off
Feel like my time getting lost
The days go by I'm stuck in my thought
Do I go on or bring the shit to a halt
This aint the game I bought
The lames get praised the same get slayed
Hope a nigga don't see the ground before a way get paved
Hope the Lord don't call my shit before my name get made
Told my girl I'm the same nigga know aint shit changed
Hope my new shit fresh on yo mind when all that lame shit age
Every dog has its day hope I aint lead you astray
You was a long way from home was sad to see you escape
Taught you a thang or two I wonder is it useful today
My biggest strength and weakness always been doing it my way for real

But shit feeling like redemption aint got nothing left to lose
Aint got nothing else to prove
When you got God on your side it aint nothing they can do
I beat the odds cheated death I don't give thanks cause its cool
They type they prayers as a post
I'm giving game in my notes
Learning to manage my lows
My arms out I been reaching wondering how high ima go
I'm on the ground with the pits but I'm a eagle fasho
This for the caged birds you learn to spread your wings you can grow
You spread your wings you can grow
If you learn to spread your wings you can grow
This for the caged birds you learn to spread your wings you can grow baby
You want change you gotta change first
The first gone be last but the last will prolly remain first
Yesterdays price was different this not the same worth
Mind on tomorrow aint satisfied with today's work
You wanna pop your shit the right way you gotta get paid first nigga

Its like I'm so close but still so far
I'm so close but still so far
Its like I'm so close but still so far
I'm so close but still so far
Its like I'm so close but still so far
Its like I'm so close but still so far
