J. Cole - c l o s e (Official Audio)(MP3_160K)
[00:01.41] Yeah
[00:05.91] Close
[00:10.66] Ville-matic, one, one
[00:13.43] One, one, one-two, one
[00:15.41] One-two, one, one-two, one
[00:18.16] One-two, one, one, listen
[00:20.92] Close, I stare at my dreams as they approach
[00:23.66] Gotta be patient and trust in God, He the coach
[00:26.41] Temptations are taking a shortcut, but I don't
[00:29.16] 'Cause I ain't tryna be a almost, when I get it, I'ma float
[00:32.16] Gone are the days we was close
[00:34.66] Now when I see you, I look at you just like a ghost
[00:36.92] A shell of your former self, so caught up with that dope
[00:39.66] Two niggas singin' two different notes and you know I gotta coast
[00:43.16] Nothin' but a dollar and some hope
[00:45.41] Up in NY, but damn, what hurts me the most
[00:47.92] You was a good nigga, we knew each other's folks
[00:50.41] Now you gotta ride around with the toast and you keep that shit close
[00:53.66] 'Cause niggas plottin' on you since you chose
[00:55.66] To roll around with the candy paint on spokes
[00:58.17] You know 'Ville niggas don't like it when you boast
[01:00.91] You know twelve be takin' notes and they watchin' you close
[01:04.41] But maybe you don't see 'em 'cause the smoke
[01:06.67] Cloudin' your vision from every cigar that you toke
[01:09.19] Plus the lean you sippin' which started as a joke
[01:11.66] Got you now fiendin' for your next dose, meanwhile I'm so close
[01:14.93] Don't even give a fuck that I'm broke
[01:17.17] 'Cause in my mind I'm rich with shit I done wrote
[01:19.66] Therefore I'm convinced that this is supposed to happen
[01:23.16] And in time I'ma blow, they gon' label me the GOAT
[01:25.67] How long has it been since we spoke?
[01:27.92] Last night I jumped up from my sleep, I was soaked
[01:30.41] Call it a nightmare, the scene that awoke me
[01:33.16] Involved you and niggas I ain't know, they was creepin' up close
[01:36.42] I saw the heat tucked in they coats
[01:38.41] You didn't notice 'cause you was busy countin' dough
[01:41.16] I tried to yell, but nothin' came out of my throat
[01:43.92] Niggas cocked back the hammers and you froze, in your eyes I saw hope
[01:46.66] Hope of a better way to cope with the pain
[01:50.17] And the scars, than the lean and the coke
[01:51.42] And I swear in that moment I wish we were still close
[01:54.16] Maybe I could've saved you, but no, trigger squeeze, gun smoke
[01:57.41] I open up my eyes with a jolt
[01:59.92] Heart pumpin' like Usain Bolt
[02:01.66] Reached for my phone, missed calls and a text message note
[02:04.92] From my mama sayin' you just got smoked, damn, this life is no joke
[02:09.16] Close
[02:12.17] Fuck
