CLOSER TO GOD Lyrics

I set my heart on things above

On what, can't be seen

Like time, love, Heaven

The simple things

Had wisdom since like seven

Know it's hard to believe

But even back then, I remember having these dreams

(Always having this dream)

I'm running from this figure

It's dark, so I can't make it out

It's much faster than me

So

I had to shake 'em out

Leave the drought

Hop on this lion and it improved my route

Head in the house

I wake up in a sweat

Quiet as a mouse

"What's that about?"

Tryna get closer to God

Yeah, just tryna get closer to God

I'm telling, yeah

No I ain't perfect, I'm just closer to God

I'm just, tryna get closer to God, I'm telling

Yeah, make me closer to God, just make me closer to God

I'm telling, I'm saying,

Tryna get closer to God, just tryna get closer to God

I close my eyes and say a prayer

Like God??

Are you even there?

Like God??

Do you even care?

I'm try my best but I sw--

It's been a lonely road

Greatest story ever told

Fortune favors the bold

But these losses getting old

These lessons are getting harder

& harder and harder

Lucky for me, I'm getting

Smarter and smarter

This for the fam

My mother, brother, daughter

Peeking around, keeping my head above water

This martyr done been through some things

(Through some things)

Really steady at it

I done grew some wings,

Ain't no need to get 'em tatted

In my lucid dreams, I see things you can't imagine

Like how they all betrayed me

Then call loyalty they fashion

(Uhh)

Tryna get closer to God

Yeah, just tryna get closer to God

I'm telling, yeah

No I ain't perfect, I'm just closer to God

I'm just, tryna get closer to God, I'm telling

Yeah, make me closer to God, just make me closer to God

I'm telling, I'm saying,

I'm tryna get closer to God, just tryna get closer to God
