Closer

Closer
Closer
Closer
Day by day buildin'
Control where i put the ceiling gettin
Closer
Keepin all my people around man
They always down to get us
Closer
We all winnin together
Aint nothin better than gettin
Closer

I'm not exactly where I wanna be
But closer than I was
All I needed was a nudge
Better late than never
Growin up from throwin up
That liquor from last night
To forgettin what thats like
Get a little buzz and chill
Now thats nice
I'm back writin still smokin
Slow motion no fast life
Soon it'll be dad life
Learinin as I go
Look how much I've grown
Don't have to do this on my own
I have a family now
I'm happy as can be
Movin closer to my goals
Got me feelin more at peace
If you see me bet I'm cheesin
Cus I'm livin feelin free
Take it back to the beatbox
The looper in the living room
Freestyles with friends
Used to be a ritual
Music brings people together
Theres nothin better than
Community, camaraderie
Gettin outta poverty
One step closer to where I wanna be
Just gotta be patient
And maintain I can't complain
I'm gettin

Uhh, I'm movin
Hey, I'm inchin
Closer
Day by day buildin'
Control where I put the ceiling gettin
Closer
Keepin all my people around man
They always down to get us
Closer
We all winnin together
Aint nothin better than gettin
Closer

Yeah
The world is more than Jordans and scrollin
And rollin blunts
The world loved me so much it gave me two of me at once
Forgiven of my stunts
Toast with alcohol for accolades on ocean fronts
Spoke it all to life man I can't say that I'm surprised
Its my addiction of me livin got me feelin sleep deprived
I got word from the wise the one who tries can be a failure
So I don't ask for permission
I'm sendin it like a mailer
Pressure on my shoulder
As these babies gettin older
Workin on myself before myself is even colder (yeah)
Yall got greener grass
But I paid cash for all these mowers
Installed some extra cushions
Comfy lookin for my soldiers
I was with ExZac in '08
Although the place wasn't great
I mean no personal space
And question marks on the plate
Look how we livin today
Purpose and power positions
Still got these voices in my head
I close my eyes and I listen

And it seems like for a while
I been livin on the edge
Like one slight breeze could have me
Leapin from a ledge
I been feelin isolated with my secrets and regrets
Because I keep em to myself
Instead of reachin for my friends
Man that evil grows within
It could mean you meet demise
So realize what you mean in peoples lives
See them lies your brain tells you for what they is
Just an illusion
Makin you lose your way like you a little kid again
It's gonna sting to rip the bandaid
But do it while its fresh
Come and empty out your ashtray
And get it off your chest
Let go of your bad ways
Keep whatevers left
And now them dreams that you been seekin
You can see em in the flesh
Thats the sequence of events
That be your secret to success
And make it seem closer
Now you got a garden full of seeds growin
Even when it's deep man just keep hopin
That it turn around
Gotta keep goin
Never slow it down
Til you get
Just a little bit
Closer
Closer
