Closer

[Intro]
Yeah
Ray
Vaughn
I been feelin' like I need to get closer to my dreams a lil' bit
But at the same time, I'm sleepwalkin'
Look, look

[Verse]
Lately, I been dreamin' about makin' it
Opened up my eyes after I ended my relationship
I am on the road, whichever one is gon' make me rich
I'm leavin' my soul, bear with me, this could take a bit
Yeah, pops, I ain't have and it sorta messin' with me
I'm unresponsive 'cause I feel like no one ever gets me
I am a man, do I mix up with Hell? Yeah, evidently
But that do not mean I do not count the blessings Heaven sent me
I got a new girl already and she touch me gently
She only here, she think I got a Bentley
But if I tell her the truth, on that day, she go poof
So she wasn't really rockin', that's sedimentary
Cheatin' so elementary, but so is tetherball
And to my fans who wait, trust me, I'm gettin' better, y'all
I'ma keep makin' these cuts and leave a forever scar
Shit, if Tariq had it on him, he'd probably bet it all
I just got a text from my granny sayin' I never call
But not the granny that I talk about in every song, nah
The granny that I called way back when I was ten
Said I'm lookin' for my dad, she said don't call in here again
Now should I say fuck 'em all and start fornicating again?
Since diapers and formulas, I been formulating a plan, uh
I got people I feel like don't even know me now
Seven kids, but somehow I'm still feelin' like the only child
Boy, it's crazy how gravity only holds me down
'Cause not nan' one of these niggas would help me go to trial
Look at they faces, got 'em goin' wild
'Cause they know the flow is vile, the verses on holy cow
That's why i stay to myself, 'cause all I need is a pad
'Cause niggas can feel a way, but only speak when they mad
Then ask me for a collab
The difference between me and them
Is I ask myself questions they had, but they never asked, it's so sad
I never needed help writing my verses
But all these cameras around are making me nervous
The stuff I'm dropping is knocking, do not disturb 'em
The grass ain't always greener, I always look out for serpents
Even Lissa switched up, should've knew that she was fake
And that bitch took all my shoes, but my dreams, I'm gonna chase
I been goin' through some shit, they can read it on my face
It's like I can't get a break, but I promise I won't break, nah
I'm stayin' positive 'cause that's just how I look at life
Why am I witnessing the look-alike?
Just seen Shanice Lee and she got me lookin' twice
Smile so bright in the dark, who turned off the lights?
Now this other female I'm texting, yeah
She keep tellin' me she want breakfast and I don't wanna accept it
'Cause I know if I go over, we probably end up sexin'
And I lie right to her face and say I'm nothing like her exes
But I'm worse than she expected, guess I get it from Walter
That's my pop, oh, Lord guide me on my way to this altar
Gettin' married to this game, the old me in a coffin
With that chain, some relationships alter
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, c'est la vie
Shit, let 'em talk down, it's okay by me
I've never gave a fuck what they say 'bout me
'Less they talkin' 'bout who won, shit, Ray by three
Nothing'll ever be the same since my flow arrived
I'm killing shit, I think my flow just died
I know me and the fake could never coincide
I'm done ventin', you want air, you better go outside, shit
When I ain't even had shoes to go to the studio
Tariq was on my head, so I said fuck it, I'ma go in slides, nigga, yeah
But as far as the city goes, bitch, you know it's mine
I run it
