Closer - Mike Stud
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer closer closer
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer
Closer than I've ever been
I used to dream about showing
the world what I dream about
Forget a mic,
my whole life I thought
it'd be the mound
I guess it's fitting
how life threw me the curveball
Pops told me work till you make it,
man, then work more
I guess I took that to heart
Cause I've been working harder
now than I did at the start
And I won't stop 'till I get to the top
Till I can give all of my fam
all the things that they want
But there ain't no doubt,
I continue to be the doubted
But that's just motivating,
so where would I be without it?
Cause the same people asking
why you're doing it
Were asking how you did it
So fuck a critic,
stay committed to your vision
They can't see it, it's yours
The top floor looks far
when you can't get in the doors
But it's crazy what you can see
with your eyes closed
I swear I stay on my grind mode
I know I'm getting closer
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer closer closer
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer
Closer than I've ever been
My whole life's been a chase,
it's a gift and a curse
Was on my way up to the top
and slipped into reverse
And the same thing
I thought killed me brought
out the real me
And that's real, see
You gotta find
what you love and let it kill you
Just gotta live with the will
like Uncle Phil do
Cause on the real,
everybody go through times
when the sun don't shine
Don't know when our time
will come,
but it will come in time
Cause yo, I said it first,
ain't no telling
where I'm headed
So this is for the people
that was with me when I said it
And when I said it,
I meant it
I swear I won't forget it
Told my family and my friends
that I'm forever indebted
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer closer closer
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer
Closer than I've ever been
You start losing your mind
when you're gone
All the time and you always
on the move
And you try to remind
yourself it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true
You start losing your mind
when you're gone
All the time
and you always on the move
And you try to remind yourself
it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true
But I know we're getting closer
Closer,
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer closer closer
I just know we getting closer
closer closer closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
Hi buddy, it's me
Just thought we might catch up
before you got on the plane
But I just wanted to say hi,
and you're hard at work I'm sure
Love you buddy, miss you
It was great having you home, okay
You be careful and keep in touch
And I'll track you
and check on you
Bless you, buddy
Bye-bye, honey
