[00:00.0][Intro]

[00:01.42]Yeah

[00:03.96]Close

[00:08.14]Ville-matic, one, one

[00:14.39]One, one, one-two, one

[00:15.84]One-two, one, one-two, one

[00:18.18]One-two, one, one, listen

[00:20.70][Verse]

[00:20.94]Close, I stare at my dreams as they approach

[00:23.72]Gotta be patient and trust in God, He the coach

[00:26.41]Temptations are taking a shortcut, but I don't

[00:29.29]'Cause I ain't tryna be a almost, when I get it, I'ma float

[00:32.30]Gone are the days we was close

[00:34.43]Now when I see you, I look at you just like a ghost

[00:36.89]A shell of your former self, so caught up with that dope

[00:39.87]Two niggas singin' two different notes and you know I gotta coast

[00:42.74]Nothin' but a dollar and some hope

[00:45.23]Up in NY, but damn, what hurts me the most

[00:47.80]You was a good nigga, we knew each other's folks

[00:50.58]Now you gotta ride around with the toast and you keep that shit close

[00:53.80]'Cause niggas plottin' on you since you chose

[00:55.96]To roll around with the candy paint on spokes

[00:58.33]You know 'Ville niggas don't like it when you boast

[01:01.9]You know twelve be takin' notes and they watchin' you close

[01:03.95]But maybe you don't see 'em 'cause the smoke

[01:06.73]Cloudin' your vision from every cigar that you toke

[01:09.36]Plus the lean you sippin' which started as a joke

[01:12.0]Got you now fiendin' for your next dose, meanwhile I'm so close

[01:15.1]Don't even give a **** that I'm broke

[01:17.25]'Cause in my mind I'm rich with shit I done wrote

[01:19.95]Therefore I'm convinced that this is supposed to happen

[01:23.18]And in time I'ma blow, they gon' label me the GOAT

[01:26.5]How long has it been since we spoke?

[01:28.36]Last night I jumped up from my sleep, I was soaked

[01:30.63]Call it a nightmare, the scene that awoke me

[01:33.13]Involved you and niggas I ain't know, they was creepin' up close

[01:36.39]I saw the heat tucked in they coats

[01:38.53]You didn't notice 'cause you was busy countin' dough

[01:41.46]I tried to yell, but nothin' came out of my throat

[01:43.91]Niggas cocked back the hammers and you froze, in your eyes I saw hope

[01:46.28]Hope of a better way to cope with the pain

[01:49.37]And the scars, than the lean and the coke

[01:51.68]And I swear in that moment I wish we were still close

[01:54.36]Maybe I could've saved you, but no, trigger squeeze, gun smoke

[01:57.67]I opened up my eyes with a jolt

[01:59.73]Heart pumpin' like Usain Bolt

[02:02.24]Reached for my phone, missed calls and a text message note

[02:05.22]From my mama sayin' you just got smoked, damn, this life is no joke

[02:08.92][Outro]

[02:10.89]Close
