Closer

Hey, hey, as I'm writin' this song

My account's in the minus

Rent fell behind and I'm countin' up dimes

Damn it's hard for me to fail

Like it's really my time

And when I open up my wallet

And it's there's nothing inside it

And the check ain't comin' till Friday

Damn it's only Sunday

Gotta make it some way

On my way to Brooklyn on the New York City subway

Thinkin' it'll be okay, you goin' make it one day

But my mom says: Son make that struggle yours

Cause before you make it listen you goin' struggle more

Had an all time low I never met before

Face on the floor fightin' for an open door

And when times like these though I don't smoke

My homie Al Rose passes and I take a toke

And realize when I'm walkin' on a tight rope

All I really ever have is hope. Just Hope

How far we've gone

How far we're going in

It's the here and the now, and the love for the sound

Or the moments that keep us moving

Want no women right now I'm so selfish

Too busy tryin' to be the next Elvis

Don't see how I can do it being selfless

All I care about is music and Delgis

That's why I spend all this time alone

At home, mad missed calls on my phone

All I really wanna do is let myself grow

Get away somewhere and let it all go

And come back stronger

I'mma make it happen ain't waitin' any longer

Ride through the struggle till it's over

Even when it feels like I'm carryin' a boulder

Heavy on my shoulders. I'mma show ya

Soldier on

Soldier on

Keep your heart

Close to the ground

Soldier on

Soldier on

Keep your heart

Close to the ground

Don't think about it all

Just keep your head low

Don't think about it

At all

Yeah, will you take me tonight

Yeah, will you take me tonight

Yeah, will you take me tonight

Oohh, tonight
