Closer Than I’ve Ever Been by Sycosis Lyrics
*Clapping*
Talking: Wow thank yall, no seriously thank you, its really dope that yall held me down
Umm you know it took a long time to put this project together, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen, but there’s..there is one thing that I do know and that is that um I’m scared to death. Like..like seriously, I’m scared
Hook
Feels like I’m closer than I ever been
I’m closer than I ever been yeah
Looks like I’m closer than I ever been
Seems like I’m closer than I ever been
How much a Kendrick feature cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a J. Cole feature cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a Kanye track gonna cost me now
Well God Damn
Looks like I’ll do it by myself since I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody else
Verse 1
What if I quit my job today and told them fuck it I’m done
Yall never paid me what I’m worth and even worse this ain't fun
You slowly sucked my soul away at 80 hours a check
The disrespect and disconnect and so I’m here to collect
This 10 years I done gave yo ass and you ain't acting grateful
You cheat on me repeatedly naw you ain't acting faithful
Hateful I wake up in the morning from the scorn I hold
Of how you’ve torn me from them kids and put me in this hole
No longer whole, what kind of soul can watch all of their brothers
Shackled and handcuffed to each other then stacked on another
Cell block, they sell stock over private prisons
Conviction rate 90% so that shit is all a given
This ain't no living, I got vision of another life
And fuck yo Excel spreadsheets I got another type
Accounts Receivable, I know this ain't believable
But trust me bitch I’m leaving you
And next year catch me on your radio station and TV too
Hook
Feels like I’m closer than I ever been
I’m closer than I ever been yeah
Looks like I’m closer than I ever been
Seems like I’m closer than I ever been
How much a 2 Chainz feature cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a Migos feature cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a Timbo track gonna cost me now
Well God Damn
Looks like I’ll do it by myself since I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody else
Verse 2
What if I call my girl today and told her fuck it I’m done
I need to see myself in Cali spread my wings in this sun
Man we’ve been down like 8,9 years I guess we had us a run
But this ambition got me wishing what my dreams can become
But there’s a catch, we’ve got a child and I’d be wild
To turn around and turn you down, see its profound
How you guilt trip, and pound me in the ground
Maybe we’d both be better off, If I close this header off
On this chapter what comes after could possibly save a lost
Am I a coward if I leave, or empowered to receive
My next blessing this second guessing makes it hard to breathe
Would I be earning for my family, or doing something else
Never been married I’m buried in so much doubt over self
And I’m not sure you can help, but hold me up more like a belt
It’s not your fault but what I felt
Is play the cards that I’ve been dealt
And right now I’m bleeding red, with 2 jokers on the edge
Catching fades like playing Spades
You play the king I’m on your head
Hook
Feels like I’m closer than I ever been
I’m closer than I ever been yeah
Looks like I’m closer than I ever been
Seems like I’m closer than I ever been
How much a Drake feature gonna cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a Cardi feature cost me now
Well God Damn
How much a Just Blaze track gonna cost me now
Well God Damn
Looks like I’ll do it by myself since I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody else
