Closer

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer

Closer than I ever been

I used to dream about showin' the world what I dream about

Forget a mic, my whole life, I thought it'd be the mound

I guess it's fittin' how life threw me the curveball

Pops told me work till you make it, man, then work more

I guess I took that to heart

'Cause I've been workin' harder now than I did at the start

And I won't stop till I get to the top

Till I can give all to my fam all the things that they want, but, uh

They ain't no doubt, I continue to be the daddy

But that's just motivatin', so where would I be without it?

'Cause the same people askin', why you doin' it?

Well, ask you how you did it, so fuck the critics, stay committed

To your vision, they can't see it, it's yours

The top floor looks full when you can't get in the doors

But, it's crazy what you can see with your eyes closed

I swear I stay on my grind mode, I know I'm gettin'

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer

Closer than I ever been

My whole life's been a chase, it's a gift and a curse

Was on my way up to the top and slipped into reverse

And the same thing I thought killed me, but not the real me

That's real, see?

You gotta find what you love and let it kill you

Just gotta live with the wheel like Uncle Phil do, 'cause on the rail

Everybody go through times when the sun don't shine

Don't know when our time'll come but it will come in time

'Cause, yo, I said it first, ain't no tellin' where I'm headed

So this is for the people that was with me when I said it

And when I said it, I meant it, I swear, I won't forget it

Tell my family and my friends that I'm forever indebted

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer

Closer than I ever been

You start losin' your mind when you're gone all the time

And you always on the move

And you try to remind yourself, it's gonna be fine

And you're hopin' that it's true

You start losin' your mind when you're gone all the time

And you always on the move

And you try to remind yourself, it's gonna be fine

And you're hopin' that it's true

But I know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer than I ever been

Closer, closer, closer than I ever been

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer

I just know we're gettin' closer, closer, closer, closer

Closer than I ever been

I just know we're gettin' closer
