Verse 1:
Unknown artist tryna make my way
But nobody really knows me so I always gotta pay
Step up inda spot dey be like who's dat guy
If you tryna open up hope dat you got cash right?
I'm always be starred at and if I'm not
They starring at the yellowbodne chick dat I brough
Make my way to the stage I get no response
Only a couple lil girls say yo he's hot
And a couple hating studs saying no she's not
And this is all before my Kyd flow even drops
On stage spyttin the hottest shytt you ever heard
But somehow da crowd never ever says a word
My mic is going in and out, now ders no feedback
And da girl I can,e with left, dam I ain't see dat
Dey automatically a**ume, so when I tryda prove it
Dey just tell me dat I'm wack, and just keep it moving
Dam, you know you're at the bottom
When you're showing off your talent's and nobody seems to spot 'em
Cuz they all living life poppin' bottle, after bottle
Debatin on which one of yall is taking home a model
And I'm not tryna fit in, I'm just tryna get it
Running in place nowhere is where I'm headin'
Dem same hoes, dat didn't wanna f** with me
Is all up in my face, hopin dat dey get lucky please
I said to mind your f**ing business, but Jay told Audrey
And Audrey told Esha, baby I'm so sorry
Byches on planet bum can't stop my show doe
Tryda take me out da picture, tryda crop my photo
There's real and there's fake, please don't mistake it
Cuz byches gone hate if thet think you made it
I had somebody ask me if I was chingy
I said no I'm Kyd Lip, and dey were just like really?
Closer I get to the light, the more I gotta fight
But I'm against n***as who's bark is bigger den der bite
Fame, fame, fame is never what it seems
But I'm making my own lane to get closer to my dreams
Never second guessing, never getting outta step
Calling the perfect cadence that goes left right left
Big shouts to da boy Riff, I know you see it in me
On dem faces of dem haters all we see is envy
I don't need the P all I need is MV
Cuz I'm the most valued in any city
And as soon as I felt it was over magically
Yall gave me da push to get closer to my dreams
Hook:
(Closer to my dreams, I'm getting higher yea, I feel it in my sleep
Said I'm getting higher yea, and closer to my dreams woooaaaah yea
Sometimes it feels like I'll never go on, closer to my dreams.)
