So Close
It hit me different when my momma said she's proud of me
I ain't goin' lie
The way she speak of me, she's fond of me
I'm not a mockery
Can't say we was in poverty, we ain't have a lotta cheese
Yeah, I went and got a college degree
Try to change our economy
I remember couch surfing, I was searching in place for a home
Was trynna bag up all my dreams, how I was bagging my clothes
Stayed grounded
My air mattress on the floor cuz a hole
Was still goin' rise, the Most High
He authored my goals
I done had many folks
Who turned out to be ghosts
Was ridiculed, for the approach
Felt I was doing the most
But I had a passion and a gift
Had to share across coasts
To all my doubters, not a problem
Still going raise 'em a toast
Mission's a highlight
One could revisit the post
Had to get the mind right
Prayer's my new method to cope
Not for the limelight
Cross the only thing that I boast
Trynna give more than a quote that is dope for some hope
I know, it's been so hard
Your hurt and your scars
I know, it's been so hard
So close, but so far
You ain't never been on ya own
Trouble got you feeling alone
Pain is all that you know
You ain't never been on ya own
You ain't never been on ya own
Trouble got you feeling alone
Pain is all that you know
You ain't never been on ya,
You ain't never been on ya, yeah yeah
One time for all the elders who poured in me and my gifting
Two time for all the prayers that was mentioned to keep me lifted.
Three time
I think back and rewind
I'm elated
Devil hit me up, hit em back with decline
I decide, to reach my
Goals and my purpose
More than the surface, let the inner refine
Don't know my meaning, how could I ever let em try to define.
Trolling, controlling, left on read, ain't even worth a reply
A reply... listen
You were created for more
Don't let them lie to you, or going hide the truth
God has greater in store
It may seem odd to you, you goin' make it through
Of this you be certain
Don't let em revert this
There's greatness inside
Though them lies
they be lurkin'
You're so close to your purpose
Oh Yeah
Trouble got you feeling alone
Pain is all that you know
You ain't never been on ya own
You ain't never been on ya own
Trouble got you feeling alone
Pain is all that you know
You ain't never been on ya,
You ain't never been on ya, yeah yeah
I ain't goin' lie
The way she speak of me, she's fond of me
I'm not a mockery
Can't say we was in poverty, we ain't have a lotta cheese
