Closer Lyrics by Thatshymn

0

[Verse 1]
It's never bye
It's "see you later, ma, don't wanna see you cry"
Done with the arguments, to you I'll never lie
You cried when I was thinkin' suicide
And I don't wanna go while you're alive
No I can't bear to think we're gonna die
'Cause TC, you is missin' from my life
I'm hopin' one day you'll get to meet my wife
Tomorrow's never promised and Shaniqua keeps on tellin' me
Pops told me to reach out at the time that you was dead to me
Prolly would have never if he never beat that felony
But I still ride for you and I ain't gon' pretend to be
Somebody that I'm not, I'm still your son, that's my identity
Told me watch my friends the same way I watch my enemies
Told me trust in God and never question what he said to me
Grateful that you prayed with me

[Chorus]
I wish that I was closer to my mama
I'd give up the fame and the commas
To go back to them days in the Honda
Gas was like a dollar
Didn't know pain or have trauma
Closer to my dad
But I wish that I was closer to my mama

[Post-Chorus]
I tried everything I could
Livin' in the middle of the hood
At least I had a father, bring me every weekend to the barber
Closer with my dad, but I wish that I was closer to my mama

[Verse 2]
We can go to church this Sunday
Dinner for Monday, I just wanna spend time with you
We can go out this Tuesday, this ain't April Fool's Day
Hope you know that I love you
Yeah we've been through some things
I'll take part the blame, I changed my old ways
Yeah, I'm far from the same
Smokin' keeps me sane
Music keeps me tamed, yeah
I know you wanted me to be a lawyer
Then I turned into a prophet, school wasn't an option
I was in the streets gettin' it poppin'
But I tried to please you

[Chorus]
I wish that I was closer to my mama
I'd give up the fame and the commas
To go back to them days in the Honda
Gas was like a dollar
Didn't know pain or have trauma
Closer to my dad
But I wish that I was closer to my mama

[Refrain]
Tomorrow's never promised and Shaniqua keeps on tellin' me
Pops told me to reach out at the time that you was dead to me
Prolly would have never if he never beat that felony
But I still ride for you and I ain't gon' pretend to be
Somebody that I'm not, I'm still your son, that's my identity
Told me watch my friends the same way I watch my enemies
Told me trust in God and never question what he said to me
Grateful that you prayed with me

[Chorus]
I wish that I was closer to my mama
I'd give up the fame and the commas
To go back to them days in the Honda
Gas was like a dollar
Didn't know pain or have trauma
Closer to my dad
But I wish that I was closer to my mama

[Post-Chorus]
I tried everything I could
Livin' in the middle of the hood
At least I had a father, bring me every weekend to the barber
Closer with my dad, but I wish that I was closer to my mama
