[00:02.87]Yeah
[00:03.36]
[00:06.23]Close
[00:06.54]
[00:10.97]Ville-matic one one
[00:13.51]One one one-two one
[00:15.93]One-two one one-two one
[00:18.26]
[00:18.78]One-two one one listen
[00:21.04]
[00:21.74]Close I stare at my dreams as they approach
[00:24.40]Gotta be patient and trust in God He the coach
[00:26.86]Temptations are taking a shortcut but I don't
[00:29.55]'Cause I ain't tryna be a almost when I get it I'ma float
[00:32.70]
[00:33.28]Gone are the days we was close
[00:34.98]Now when I see you I look at you just like a ghost
[00:37.46]A shell of your former self so caught up with that d**e
[00:40.11]Two n***as singin' two different notes and you know I gotta coast
[00:43.82]Nothin' but a dollar and some hope
[00:45.68]Up in NY but d**n what hurts me the most
[00:48.44]You was a good n***a we knew each other's folks
[00:50.79]Now you gotta ride around with the toast
[00:52.84]And you keep that s**t close
[00:54.31]'Cause n***as plottin' on you since you chose
[00:56.20]To roll around with the candy paint on spokes
[00:59.08]You know 'Ville n***as don't like it when you boast
[01:01.69]You know twelve be takin' notes and they watchin' you close
[01:04.94]But maybe you don't see 'em 'cause the smoke
[01:06.97]Cloudin' your vision from every cigar that you toke
[01:09.67]Plus the lean you sippin' which started as a joke
[01:11.97]Got you now fiendin' for your next dose meanwhile I'm so close
[01:15.47]Don't even give a f**k that I'm broke
[01:17.61]'Cause in my mind I'm rich with s**t I done wrote
[01:20.32]Therefore I'm convinced that this is supposed to happen
[01:23.46]And in time I'ma blow they gon' label me the GOAT
[01:26.30]How long has it been since we spoke
[01:28.33]Last night I jumped up from my sleep I was soaked
[01:31.04]Call it a nightmare the scene that awoke me
[01:33.59]Involved you and n***as I ain't know
[01:35.45]They was creepin' up close
[01:36.92]I saw the heat tucked in they coats
[01:39.00]You didn't notice 'cause you was busy countin' dough
[01:41.65]I tried to yell but nothin' came out of my throat
[01:44.06]N***as cocked back the hammers and you froze
[01:45.98]In your eyes I saw hope
[01:47.64]Hope of a better way to cope with the pain
[01:50.15]And the scars than the lean and the coke
[01:52.23]And I swear in that moment I wish we were still close
[01:54.82]Maybe I could've saved you but no trigger squeeze gun smoke
[01:58.26]I open up my eyes with a jolt
[02:00.22]Heart pumpin' like Usain Bolt
[02:02.38]Reached for my phone missed calls and a text message note
[02:05.31]From my mama sayin' you just got smoked d**n this life is no joke
[02:09.00]
[02:10.86]Close
[02:11.31]
[02:13.42]F**k
