Closer

[00:01.49] Oh, that's how long (that's how long), that's how strong
[00:03.68] (That's how strong)
[00:05.27] I'll be lovin' you, baby
[00:17.16] (T-to all my brothers, it ain't too late to come together)
[00:28.80] (T-to all my brothers, it ain't too late to come together)
[00:32.14] Yeah, CyHi
[00:34.54] This flow deserve a Kevin Liles
[00:38.77] The shit can't help but touch you like a pedophile
[00:41.39] My people say I stressed 'em out, so I left the house
[00:43.98] Now I'm running the streets with some Detroit players
[00:47.20] Running laps around you niggas, I'm on my 7th mile
[00:50.09] A special child with some things I need to reconcile
[00:52.46] Cydel Young, got my rap name from sellin' loud
[00:55.44] 'Cause Cyhi got a ring to it like a wedding vow
[00:58.39] I grew up stealin' money out my momma purse
[01:01.89] Now I'm buying everything I promised her
[01:04.63] She don't want nothing else on this Earth but see her son in church
[01:07.40] But just the night before, we was robbin' and runnin' work
[01:10.16] Bought a onion first, sold nothing more than a hundred worth
[01:12.99] But wear the under, the undershirt if you wanna' lurk
[01:15.87] Had money on my head
[01:17.79] Some niggas wanna' murk
[01:19.14] I used to rub my tummy like my stomach hurt
[01:22.00] 'Cause I hate the place I'm in, I don't even feel safe with friends
[01:24.81] My life is too stressful to bring a baby in
[01:27.69] If you not 'bout the mission, can't be my lady then
[01:30.81] Relationships can get kinda Rocky, my Adrian
[01:33.42] Especially when it's your night at the Apollo
[01:36.40] Huh, I might Basquiat the Picasso
[01:39.53] Talkin' to Pablo, face-timing from Croatia
[01:42.15] He said, CyHi be patient, you know your time is getting
[01:45.10] Closer, well, well
[01:50.52] (T-to all my brothers, it ain't too late to come together)
[01:54.72] Cyhi, huh
[01:56.15] My partner robber Peter 'cause he owe Paul
[01:59.92] .38 snub, the revolver got a nose job
[02:02.46] I used to talk to the plug long distance
[02:04.90] Heard echoes 'cause they was listening, damn, that was a close call
[02:08.09] Can't doze off, the cousin of sleep is sure to get you
[02:10.95] Bemoan a pistol
[02:12.28] When I draw you know it's stipple
[02:13.89] Niggas switch sides, your partner's above the rim
[02:15.75] You ever been in the middle of preying on some niggas hoping the Lord forgive you
[02:19.84] If I don't go ten times platinum
[02:22.74] I'm the closest thing to diamond with rhyming Swarovski crystals
[02:25.74] I'm not here for the shits and giggles,
[02:28.54] Tell my sisters that I'm almost home
[02:30.28] I hit a triple, got caught for travelin' 'cause I was tryin' make it double
[02:34.34] Stayed at the brickhouse, but what's funny the shit was stucco
[02:37.31] Hurt to see my class walk, and I ain't get to graduate
[02:39.87] My parents washed their hands with me, like before you grab a plate
[02:42.92] I was on punishment, still coming in after eight
[02:45.82] The belt don't hurt no more, she can tell when she look at my face
[02:48.74] I was a castaway, had to learn how to navigate through the alleyways, then pull up on you the Cali' way
[02:54.76] I did some shit I can't elaborate
[02:57.87] Tried to serve some niggas I ain't know, that was my last mistake
[03:00.69] Satan, I know I'm one of your favorite soldiers
[03:03.48] But I can't help you no more,
[03:05.62] 'Cause me and Christ is getting
[03:06.52] Closer, well, well
[03:10.18] T-to all my brothers, it ain't too late to come together
[03:12.28] Closer than close
[03:15.00] T-to all my brothers, it ain't too late...
