Closer To My Dreams

Shoutout everybody that's grinding hard
Day in and day out
Keep in mind those who extended a helping hand
And those who just held they hands out
Know what I mean
Cuz no matter how hard you try to show
Them where your head is at
They will never see your dreams
And my dreams
Man

Closer to my dreams
And I ain't even sleeping
Haters tip-toe around me
Yeah I can hear em creeping
Cross a nigga like A.I
I'm tryna avoid demons
I'm Good for ya like soul food
You know I'm what you needing
All this green on my plate
You would've thought that I was vegan
Tryna cock block my blessing
You should've played better defense
Y'all niggas don't scare me
I went to sleep to tires screeching
Woke up to mourning momz
Son's dead on the cement
I'm tryna live my life
So I'm gone off the deep end
They say home is where the heart is
So the hood I hate to leave it
Had to choose a route more scenic
Cuz I ain't like what I was seeing
That real love is scarce
Man rarely do they mean it
They hit you up when they need something
You really just convenience
Stored hate in they heart
Boy you really won't believe it
But fuck it
I'm done preaching
Hit the the highway and I'm speeding
My nigga I'm tired of dreaming
Just to open up my eyes
Nightmares no television
I'm bout to change the channel
Not drizzy
But my views a little different
I want More Outta life
I wanna live it to its limits
Y'all satisfied with the image
I'm tryna witness the real thing
I don't mean more sight seeing
Nah
I wanna bask in my ambition
Live life relentless
Buy all of family houses
So they can live life rent-less
That's why I stay up out the way dawg
I mind my business
I got money on my mind
Why you niggas still cents-less
Gotta stay up on your grind
Success equals persistence
Followed by repetition
Cuz nothing happens in an instance
Every prayer requires action
So Imma keep snapping
Until the day
That I can speak on a million in past tense
Nigga
I'm building futuristic habits
Set my kids up for success
So they can give it to my grandkids
Wealth and knowledge we obtain
Ain't worth shit if we don't pass it
It's kinda hard to move forward
When you haven't healed from the past sick
So the energy I'm giving now
It's the medicine in the cabinet
It's the type of heart you need
To beat a certified classic
But first something gotta happen
It should've already been denoted
Take heed cuz I wrote it
You gotta get up off yo ass
Hustling is a key component
It's change in the couch
But you won't find it if you on it
Nigga
You won't find it if you on it
And the way I'm working now
Make these hoes wanna phone em
Make the government wanna clone em
Now the white folks wanna own em
Cuz they fear the the black man
When nobody can control em
Got good head on his shoulders
Don't care for codeine and soda
Or the girls that lean to deep throat em
Cuz life already sucks
Ain't got no room on my scrotum
Bodies still dropping
Police tryna fill quotas
Trying not to commit crimes
To turn these dimes in to quarters
It's a million ways to hustle
So chose the wiser and be smarter
Shit might seem outta wack
Just trust the fact
It ain't no order

You know
It really ain't no order to this shit
You don't have to move how they moved
To be viewed as legit
Life is like a puzzle
And your image is determined by
The amount of work you put into it
Don't quit before it's finished
Because I promise that final image
Will be worth every second hour and minute
