Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
You justify getting high and getting bent
When your sneakers cost more than your rent
You claim that all your money's spent
So you think that I oughta support your moms, stepmoms
Her son and baby's daughter cause your daddy didn't father
But all you got to offer is ten years in the club
Getting college freshmen cause their minds are so weak
You can still impress them, but isn't that molesting them?
I think so cause three months ago she was at the prom
Now you gotta go with you back to your apartment
Where fraternities hates you, they front on you, they dog you
And now you mark a life with a brand they put on you
Five years down the line and you start forgetting
You got some dreams in your head and being righteous is your mission
But I ain't fooled though, cause you a straight poser
In situations like these that simply draw me closer
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
The system bumps loud but your license plate is shaking
The system cost more than the car, now who got tickets?
You got amps for selling stamps for twenty cent on the dollar
Talking 'bout you 'bout to paint that hideous looking Impala
But you a street star, not a father and your baby knows
Three pairs of Dickies and no baby clothes
It's twenty dollars on the block, forty-five on the quarter
But you don't seem concerned 'bout the needs of your daughter
But you can still change, cause I'm saying I ain't no saint
All I know and who is what is important and that ain't
Don't get defensive, I'm just doing my job
Cause I would want you to tell me if I was acting like a slob
I got this meal ticket pumping, plus a job, plus a family
And I don't think it's nothing special, just the way it should be
I'm just trying to keep it hitting like Sammy Sosa
I got a long way to go money, but I'm still getting closer
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
Getting closer to meeting Jesus
Closer to God in a tight situation now
