Closer Lyrics by Ta’East

The Popular Stranger

2012

Hey
Hey
Hey

[INTRO]
What you know about building from the ground up when they sayin’ it's impossible
You can stay from ‘round us if you're nobody to make profit from
We getting closer to our dreams
It's close enough to reach
But ain't close enough for me
Just building from the ground up when they sayin’ it's impossible
You can stay from ‘round us if you're nobody to make profit from
We getting closer to our dreams

[VERSE 1]
Hold up
Decisions I've made got me embracing life cause everything is taking flight
So we can take this ride and paint the sky if you ain't afraid of heights
I've paid the price and sacrificed while everybody chased the hype
No need for me to take a bite
I already have great taste in life
I'd like to take this time to say thank you for all your non support
I'm a bullshitter's toreador-connoisseur
As I enjoy this here hell of a journey
All these "no's" better been worth it
Ladies say I look better in person
The boy stay cleaner than edited versions
A veteran virgin
First time back
So won't be needing a freshman class
To tell me that I snap on tracks
I'm taking numbers, slapping ass
So have a glass of white wine
La Chaim to the high life
Won't let my name be sidelined letting social networks define mine
Your timeline boring, mine's historic
They think I'm Illuminati important
Spazzing like a Charlie horse
Don't follow me, follow the flow
He bodied the coast
Kicked a lil’ knowledge
Gave a lil’ style out, cause I don't mind if
Niggas multiply it if you pay homage, watching....

[Chorus]
As days go by by by (by by by)
It get's closer, closer, closer
What you know about building from the ground up
When they saying it's impossible
You can stay from round us if you're nobody to make profit from
As days go by by by (by by by)
It get's closer, closer, closer
What you know about building from the ground up
When they saying it's impossible
You can stay from round us if you're nobody to make profit from

[VERSE 2]
I do if for believers in the leaders that believe we won't mislead the
Cheaters and deceivers
That cheat us and deceive us
All the demons that defeat us
They be screaming from the bleachers
The deacons and the preachers try to teach us but don't reach us
Queen Latifah, Wiz Kalifah
That's the unity we sing of
And chiefin’ on some reefer
They just cooling, we don't take drugs
Bafoonery’s ya make up; Tyler Perrys in some girdles     
That's word to Spike Lee
You walk in limbo, I jump hurdles
I'm frontline with mine
You tuck ya head inside like turtles
It's my time tonight
It's time to head inside, it’s curfew
From randoms to bandwagon’ers
They'll get you while you're worth it
But that's what you get fitting squares inside your circle
Y'all some Urkles
Smart stupid niggas
Meed to get some supervision
I got super vision
I don't mean that as a euphemism
Now who the realest
Time to re-up on ya fuel system
I'm just a kill-switch-nigga came to kill shit

[Chorus]
As days go by by by (by by by)
It get's closer, closer, closer
What you know about building from the ground up
When they saying it's impossible
You can stay from round us if you're nobody to make profit from
As days go by by by (by by by)
It get's closer, closer, closer
What you know about building from the ground up
When they saying it's impossible
You can stay from round us if you're nobody to make profit from
