So Close Lyrics by Freddy Will

While I’m Still Young... The Talkin’ Drums

2008

Oh! Yeah!
Oh! Oh!

[Chorus]
So close
Your ain’t where we are
So close
With no cigar
So close
You ain’t up to par
So close
You’re against the odds 2x

[VERSE I]
You’re looking at a man
Not taught much, mostly, but self-tutored
Learn by mistakes. Life got no help through it
Most of my years on this earth. I felt clueless
My first steps went through the floor, and I fell through it
Since day one spent my life in the hole
When Pops lost his soul, I lost all types of control
Became a man definitely the motto life is short
Live for today. Who knows when you’ll need life support
To keep a breath in us. I pledge trust
In God but didn’t memorize verses from the Exodus
So, I don’t know if my soul will lift
Up and rise to the pearly gates when I go stiff
That’s why I smoke spiffs
Stroke chicks and chase doe
Denero. Blazes the road for the pay so
I’m not prepared to stay where the gates glow
Until I make doe or make my cursor
Like change clothes

[Chorus]
So close
Your ain’t where we are
So close
With no cigar
So close
You ain’t up to par
So close
You’re against the odds 2x

[VERSE II]
The only thing that matters nowadays is if you’re caking
So, I play the block and make it pop like shrimps and bacon
Your bitch gave me top and told the flock we had relations
But now I get more cracks like a chiropractor-patient
But I’ve been a Pimp like C, so this ain’t nothing new
Just something to do so watch these birds land in the coup
While you standing on that corner with a gram in your boot
With a false record sale deal, you’re still tryna recoup
I’ve been nice, my flow is flawless like the cuts in the ice
Off your head for bread with your coolant water and ice
For these wack cats lemme back-track
That means crack niggas rap minds
Brand new Cadillac and some scratch
My niggas back with a pack. It ends up on your strip
Cause we take the blocks back like they’re Indian gift
Got a fiend name JJ said the work’s dynamite
And every night cop four hard and two of the white

[Chorus]
So close
Your ain’t where we are
So close
With no cigar
So close
You ain’t up to par
So close
You’re against the odds 2x

[VERSE III]
Institutionalized with demolition eyes
Panelized for crimping the prime sign naturalized
Yup! Look in the magazine
And what it seems to be, everybody wanna be a G
I hear ‘em talking about nines and putting homies in the grave
Steels they’re packing ‘em. I just do this shit for platinum
Meet! A nigga proud to be full of deceit
What he made in a month
Was like a bag of blunts
How many niggas have been taken to the cell blocks
Pulling triggers at the cops like they’re jump shots
You couldn’t get a job now you’re robbing
You’re mobbing. Heard them sirens
Get away to keep striving
A nigga’s gotta hustle and shit
In the struggle and shit
Ongoing double trouble and shit
You keep talking it. Stuck in it
Niggas be fronting with packed clips they’re unfortunate

[Chorus]
So close
Your ain’t where we are
So close
With no cigar
So close
You ain’t up to par
So close
You’re against the odds 4x

Yeah!
