Closer

Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been

Yeah, I used to dream about
Showing the world what I dream about
Forget a mic, my whole life I thought it'd be the mound
I guess it's fitting 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 working harder now than I did at the start and I
Won't stop 'till I get to the top
Till I can give all of my fam all the things that they want
But uh, there ain't no doubt, I continue to be the doubted
But that's just motivating, so where would I be without it?
'Cause the same people asking why you're doing it
Were asking how you did it
So fuck a critic, stay committed to your vision
They can't see it, it's yours
The top floor looks far 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 getting closer

Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been

Uh 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 brought out the real me
And that's real, see
You gotta find what you love and let it kill you
Just gotta live with the will like Uncle Phil do
'Cause on the real, everybody go through times
When the sun don't shine
Don't know when our time will come, but it will come in time
'Cause yo, I said it first, ain't no telling 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
Told my family and my friends that I'm forever indebted

Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been

You start losing your mind
When you're gone all the time
And you always on the move (move move move)
And you try to remind yourself it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true (true true)

You start losing your mind 
When you're gone all the time 
And you always on the move (you always on the move)
And you try to remind yourself it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true
But I know we're getting 

Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
I just know we getting closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been

I just know we're getting closer

Hi buddy, it's me, just thought
We might catch up before you
Got on the plane um
But I just wanted to say hi, and
You're hard at work I'm sure 
And um love you buddy, miss you 
It was great having you home, okay, be careful
And um keep in touch and I'll
I'll track you and check on you
Bless you, buddy, bye bye, honey
