Yeah, close, vermatic, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, listen, close I stare at my dreams as they approach Gotta be patient and trust in God, he the coach Temptations are takin' a shortcut, but I don't 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 different notes, and you know I gotta coast Nothin' but a dollar and some hope, up in the wide, 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 *** close Cause niggas plottin' on you since you chose To roll around with the candy paint on spokes You know veiled niggas don't like it when you boast You know 12 be takin' notes, and they watchin' you close But maybe you don't see him 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 *** that I'm broke Cause in my mind I'm rich with *** 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, then the lean and the coke And I swear in that moment I wish we was still close Maybe I could've saved you, but no Trigger squeeze, gun smoke I opened up my eyes with a joke Heart pumpin' like Usain Bolt Reach for my phone, missed calls And a text message note from my mama sayin' you just got smoked Damn, this life is no joke I wish I wish I wish
