So Close |
| Why’d you have to give up now, when we were so close? |
| When we were so close |
| I swear this could’ve been us (Why? Why? Why?) |
| Imagine where we’d be right now |
| 'Cause we were so close |
| Yeah, we were so close |
| Wow, few years ago, we were on the radio that weren’t legal |
| Now you’re scary yo, take control of your ego |
| This love so fake to the mandem now |
| When I came with my sound, I made the mandem proud |
| You used to be comfortable just tryna be the best in your area |
| I was never satisfied, I’m tryna be the best in this era |
| You said you’d been depressed, you was re-addressing your career |
| So I took a UberX when I could’ve came in my Carrera |
| Just to make you feel better |
| Just to make you feel worth something I showed you that I cared |
| I admit that I went ghost and didn’t phone you for two years |
| Ain’t easy breaking through glass ceilings, we fighting wars out here |
| We fighting wars out here, yeah, out round about here |
| So it’s okay for shade lights those sorta shells I wear |
| Yeah, 'cause if I lose the fame, don’t know whose to blame |
| Might probably do the same |
| Last level of a computer game, you can’t |
| But don’t lose faith, it ain’t too late |
| This fight ain’t even over, the bell didn’t even ring |
| There’s no blood on the towel, so why’d you throw it in |
| You could’ve tried believing but you’re leavin' |
| You could’ve tried believing but you’re leavin' |
| Ah, living in billing up ganja |
| Tryna get bigger on Myspace, bigger on Tumblr |
| So a little bit of myself in you, you was just a bit younger |
| Switching line and ringing my phone, I’m private number |
| Told me you is ready for the world, yeah I can see you had a hunger |
| Said I’m gonna make them respect me, like Dizzie and DJ Wonder |
| Remember how your wifey went on stage, got a bit drunker |
| Didn’t wanna share no limelight, no you wanna steal my thunder |
| Triple my net worth, 'cause I’m rich in karma |
| Even let you come to my studio, get you |
| Always showed love as an artist |
| Celebrate it when you charted |
| Then you started going on wonder why the hype never lasted |
| You can tell lies for a whole life time but the truth is a bastard |
| them times when you at your darkest |
| Now apart from your African friend’s house, you ain’t seen no red carpet |
| Had a whole world in your finger tips, now it’s all way past it |
| This fight ain’t even over, the bell didn’t even ring |
| There’s no blood on the towel, so why’d you throw it in |
| You could’ve tried believing but you’re leavin' |
| You could’ve tried believing but you’re leavin' |
| Why’d you have to give up? |
| (Why? Why? Why?) |
| Why’d you have to give up now, when we were so close? |
| When we were so close |
| I swear this could’ve been us (Why? Why? Why?) |
| Imagine where we’d be right now |
| 'Cause we were so close |
| Yeah, we were so close |
| (Yeah, Bugzy Malone) |
| I was sitting in the back of a car, tears rolling down my face |
| I didn’t wanna cry but I know the streets aren’t safe |
| I know the police don’t play, they’ve gotta be on my case |
| There’s only so many crimes that can take place before they observe it |
| I was on a reministic thing but I didn’t wanna miss this time |
| I was studying, so I watched Gigg’s, then I watched K Kokes, then I watched |
| Nines |
| But when I say this, couldn’t agree with this shit |
| I’m one of the realest out here, man make music, man don’t bitch |
| So I jumped out the car, in a different town |
| Wiped off the tears, no turning around |
| Told myself, watch man I do my ting |
| They’re gonna be like London’s burning down |
| Gonna be like London’s burning down |
| I’ve been grinding five years, four mixtapes, 1 EP; |
| Never got a retweet, watch how it changes now |
