YU - Close lyrics

[Verse One] [Y.U.]: Somewhere between my livin' and dyin' Between tribulation and triumph I've been tryin' to figure who I am A n***a who's tryin', eyes on the prize Strivin' for higher heights right In the midst of Christ His fingers balled up in a tight fist Knowin' I'm worth my weight in gold They don't recognize it But I'm on a**ignment Time is tickin' My commitment to my mission is Like a father takin' care of his kids The heart is where it lives That serves as many years been doin' it But it feels rewardin' When the audience applaudin' his hard work At a concert, rockin' until his arms hurt Could've been doin' dirt but turned the mic on first My mission on Earth is to reverse the curse Shaton burst I learned a lot in 29 Half of that I studied rhymes Spent money buyin' equipment Lived and moved, 20 times or more Sleepin' on floors, sacrifice to record Could win awards for the pain we endured But I love her for sure I love her for sure I love her for sure [Chorus] [Slimkat78]: Yeah, the pressure might be thick it's just because you're close ? that's how we gain And I just want to let you know To not give up You're on your way And I just want to let you know You're close [Verse Two]: Somewhere between addition and division Split decisions, folks you used to be close But now they isn't I distribute my word when I give it That means I'm in it Not for the minute Permanent Respect's a term I live by Learning to fly also means knowing how to fall You gotta crawl You as fast as The Flash This I had to just ask What could possess a man to put p**y before the fam? Now we at a slant sideways But go back to when I blaze But nowadays It's space in between You was chasin' like a fiend for that wetness And a** was the weapon at hand, man You could've just went and gave me the heads up Had me walkin' under ladders, havin' 10 years of bad luck Man look You f**ed the whole plan up like a gambler Bettin' his last gram on an a** bet Respect, used to have that Immensely Was full of admiration now the tank is on empty For actin' all flimsy Swear to God it couldn't have been me It's under my control You should know, you an MC You changed the whole energy behind my drive In '99 I tried, but n***a nah it's hard seein' your mentor Shown him snake his way similar to Supintor I try not to trip but in the midst sometimes it's hard to resist That God my art is where my heart is So regardless I'mma progress Soldier promoted to a sargent, bang my own chest I'm dealin' with low stress Takin' mo' steps No pest changed the focus, and know that I don't be actin' like I'm made of steel Because the greatest gift given to man is to feel We'll built at a later time See I done made my mind In the course layin' a line Been writin' a rhyme, I guess I'm fine Designed To let your eyes get wise So check it out y'all it's Y.U. one time [Slimkat78]: Life has those moments But don't give up cause you're close Friends sometimes lose focus It's sad cause you thought that you were close You know Pain, it's alright to show it Yeah, I know I hurts y'all but folks But that's just what growth is It's movin' on, let's make a toast You know [Chorus]: Yeah, the pressure might be thick it's just because you're close ? that's how we gain And I just wanna let you know To not give up Live up to your name What people say don't mean a thang You're on your way And I just want to let you know Yeah, the pressure might be thick it's just because you're close ? that's how we gain And I just wanna let you know To not give up Live up to your name What people say don't mean a thang You're on your way And I just want to let you know You're close
