Yeah
Close
Ville-matic one one
One one one-two one
One-two one one-two one
One-two one one listen
Close I stare at my dreams
as they approach
Gotta be patient and trust
in God He the coach
Temptations are taking
a shortcut but I don't
'Cause I ain't tryna
be a almost
when I get it I'ma float
Gone are the days we was close
Now when I see you
I look at you just like a ghost
A shell of your former self
so caught up with that dope
Two niggas singin' two
diffеrent notes
and you know I gotta coast
Nothin' but a dollar
and some hopе
Up in NY but damn
what hurts me the most
You was a good nigga
we knew each other's folks
Now you gotta ride around
with the toast
and you keep that shit close
'Cause niggas plottin' on you
since you chose
To roll around with the candy
paint on spokes
You know 'Ville niggas don't
like it when you boast
You know twelve be takin' notes
and they watchin' you close
But maybe you don't see 'em
'cause the smoke
Cloudin' your vision
from every cigar that you toke
Plus the lean you sippin'
which started as a joke
Got you now fiendin'
for your next dose
meanwhile I'm so close
Don't even give a fuck
that I'm broke
'Cause in my mind
I'm rich with shit I done wrote
Therefore I'm convinced
that this is supposed to happen
And in time I'ma blow
they gon' label me the GOAT
How long has it been
since we spoke
Last night I jumped up
from my sleep I was soaked
Call it a nightmare
the scene that awoke me
Involved you and niggas
I ain't know
they was creepin' up close
I saw the heat tucked
in they coats
You didn't notice 'cause you was
busy countin' dough
I tried to yell but nothin'
came out of my throat
Niggas cocked back the hammers
and you froze
in your eyes I saw hope
Hope of a better way
to cope with the pain
And the scars
than the lean and the coke
And I swear in that moment
I wish we were still close
Maybe I could've saved you
but no trigger squeeze
gun smoke
I opened up my eyes with a jolt
Heart pumpin' like Usain Bolt
Reached for my phone
missed calls
and a text message note
From my mama sayin'
you just got smoked damn
this life is no joke
Close
Fuck
