Close

I see you got a book bag on ya back bet theres no books in it

Hope you take a long look before you step up in this cipher

Into something true that you know nathan about

I see you mouth moving with those stagnant words going nowhere

Staying right there i swear you play the part well

Of a sell out cat i can tell you never had heart

You fell so quick when i freestyle heads came to spit

The cipher was too real for ya fiction - pre-written

Detailed descriptions of what the 360 might have in it

So ya pointin' out ya shell toes and the last man to finish

You a happy go lucky kid but this pancake act is sad

What you got markers in ya hand for not like you like to tag

What you be bombing buses or something like it was easy

Scribble a name on a sticker and stick it and call it graffiti

You a card you funny - more like a joker

Useless in this culture i despise all yall posers

So what you kop material released independently

What you bought was a demo tape and you begged to get it for free

So i see you as a nazi i'll never let you permeate

Pull up ya pants punk you 'don't wear a size 38

I'm glad i can't relate to you at all i like being free

To release projects and be unique

Move'm independently definitely we come close to being the same

But different monies, different principals a whole different ball game

But the name of who i rep for keeps me a step ahead of the rest

My text is always thought through to be blessed

While you speak on dollars my goal is to make a change

Re-arrange the way the globe operates on a day to day basis

I'm flagerant - with my motives and actions

No record contract adds up to a fair transaction

Infractions of the laws of physics couldn't change my mind

So i'll never sign my soul away for that empty dollar sign

In the sign of the times i multiply life to gain freedom

All you fed us was lies but i never believed'em

I can't trust you if you see hip-hop solely as a business

You can live off the culture but first you have to live it

We sometimes see eye to eye now bro's in faith

Can't escape the calling we all have so one day the

Man of sin will fall - (fall) brought to his knees pleading for grace

Chasing forgiveness til it's caught (caught)

Hoping to erase past misdeeds so we all yearn to be free

We either seek for jesus or mohamed to find true piece

Whether the case be we in need of a common ground

Satan divides us with lies so wall will never come down

We need ta - see the deception at hand

Across this land of milk and honey we losing 1st command

Who's in charge of ya vessel ya temple is taken over

A prisoner in ya own skin addicted to legal medicine

No evidence found it leaves not a trace behind

So you stay blind in a state of mind locked down

Enslaved to hypocrisy fed to you in double doses

No sound in captivity could ever change your prognosis

Chorus

Close - but not close enough

You might try but you can't get close

Close - but not close enough

You might try but you can't...
