Closer

Typical team, skipping school
Breaking every flipping rule, popular
Wishing I was invisible
Who are you to ridicule?
I'm (Closer to my dream)
And it was hard work, not a miracle
That got me to a point where
Everybody wants to be my friend
I got a voice spare
Police wanna see me re-offend
But I avoid them
And now I feel like lighting up
(I'm getting high)
I take flight like I fly with doves
Your time is up but I'm (Closer to my dream)
That's why everybody's mad at me
Because I be defying the rules of gravity
(I'm getting hot and hot here) Yes, I am
(Feel it in my sleeve)
But this no longer a dream
I used to listen to them tape
Packs to follow the scene

(Sometimes it feels like I'll
Never go past here)
Never gonna pass here before the past year
I've seen these other stars where I should be
(Sometimes, it feels like I'm stuck forever)
Stuck forever will fuck my head up
Thinking everybody else is
Onto something badder

Everybody's asking when I'm gonna
Have a number one, like
(Closer to my dream) i'm feeling like
I'm feeling real successful without one right
Now to tell the truth
Haha (I'm going higher and higher)
If you knew the background
If you knew where I come from
If you know what a journey it's been
Haha (Yo) trust me

The Devil's upset
I ain't sold my soul when I'm doing my ting
I'll be major success
Yes, I'm on a quest and I'm
(Closer to my dream)
And I ain't even signed to a label
Calm before the storm now I'm
Behind all the rainfall
Lightning and thunder
While you hide under a table
At nights when I wonder if I was unavailable
When someone like him got the call over me
But I don't feel bitter, I feel bigger
Because I overcome the bitterness, so
I'm the real winner
And I'm an ill spitter and I'm
(Closer to my dream) indeed I am, yeah
(I'm getting higher and higher)
(Feel it in my sleeve)
And even when I'm wide awake
That's how I know that it's real

(Sometimes it feels like I'll
Never go past here)
Never gonna pass here before the past year
I've seen these other stars where I should be
(Sometimes, it feels like I'm stuck forever)
Stuck forever will fuck my head up
Thinking everybody else is
Onto something badder

I'm going high closer to my dream
I'm getting higher and higher
I think I'm almost free
Higher and higher, higher and higher higher
Sometimes it feel like you're
Never gonna change never gonna change
But you never choose to walk away
