So Close So Far Lyrics

I guess you can call it a mid life crisis

I'm toe to toe with the man in the mirror exchanging precisely

I'm pushing 30 so pushing P don't really excite me

In due time I gotta make shorty my wifey

Listen he who finds a woman finds a good thang

On top of of your work you gotta have good faith

I go to work everyday pull up late so they know that I aint a good slave

Leave early and still collect the full pape

I'm pimping the system

I wrote this shit when I heard about Vincent

Mr. Simmons spent my mothers lifetime in a prison

Three generations and he just go acquitted

No evidence 40 years later and he preaching forgiveness

Aint that some shit need to tune my heart

Hold myself accountable when I aint doing my part

Know what I gotta do I just aint start

Flood coming still aint built that ark

Create the waves you niggas ride getting off

Feel like my time getting lost

The days go by I'm stuck in my thought

Do I go on or bring the shit to a halt

This aint the game I bought

The lames get praised the same get slayed

Hope a nigga don't see the ground before a way get paved

Hope the Lord don't call my shit before my name get made

Told my girl I'm the same nigga know aint shit changed

Hope my new shit fresh on yo mind when all that lame shit age

Every dog has its day hope I aint lead you astray

You was a long way from home was sad to see you escape

Taught you a thang or two I wonder is it useful today

My biggest strength and weakness always been doing it my way for real

But shit feeling like redemption aint got nothing left to lose

Aint got nothing else to prove

When you got God on your side it aint nothing they can do

I beat the odds cheated death I don't give thanks cause its cool

They type they prayers as a post

I'm giving game in my notes

Learning to manage my lows

My arms out I been reaching wondering how high ima go

I'm on the ground with the pits but I'm a eagle fasho

This for the caged birds you learn to spread your wings you can grow

You spread your wings you can grow

If you learn to spread your wings you can grow

This for the caged birds you learn to spread your wings you can grow baby

You want change you gotta change first

The first gone be last but the last will prolly remain first

Yesterdays price was different this not the same worth

Mind on tomorrow aint satisfied with today's work

You wanna pop your shit the right way you gotta get paid first nigga

Its like I'm so close but still so far

I'm so close but still so far

Its like I'm so close but still so far

I'm so close but still so far

Its like I'm so close but still so far

Its like I'm so close but still so far
