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
