| [Hook:] | |
| Closer, closer | |
| Closer than I've ever been | |
| Closer, closer | |
| Closer than I've ever been | |
| I just know we getting closer [x2] | |
| Closer than I've ever been | |
| [Verse 1:] | |
| I used to dream about showing the world what I dream about | |
| Forget a mic, my whole life I thought it'd be the mound | |
| I guess it's fitting how life threw me the curveball | |
| Pops told me work till you make it, man, then work more | |
| I guess I took that to heart | |
| Cause I've been working harder now than I did at the start | |
| And I won't stop 'till I get to the top | |
| Till I can give all of my fam all the things that they want | |
| But there ain't no doubt, I continue to be the doubted | |
| But that's just motivating, so where would I be without it? | |
| Cause the same people asking why you're doing it | |
| Were asking how you did it | |
| So **** a critic, stay committed to your vision | |
| They can't see it, it's yours | |
| The top floor looks far when you can't get in the doors | |
| But it's crazy what you can see with your eyes closed | |
| I swear I stay on my grind mode | |
| I know I'm getting closer | |
| [Hook] | |
| [Verse 2:] | |
| My whole life's been a chase, it's a gift and a curse | |
| Was on my way up to the top and slipped into reverse | |
| And the same thing I thought killed me brought out the real me | |
| And that's real, see | |
| You gotta find what you love and let it kill you | |
| Just gotta live with the will like Uncle Phil do | |
| Cause on the real, everybody go through times when the sun don't *****ne | |
| Don't know when our time will come, but it will come in time | |
| Cause yo, I said it first, ain't no telling where I'm headed | |
| So this is for the people that was with me when I said it | |
| And when I said it, I meant it | |
| I swear I won't forget it | |
| Told my family and my friends that I'm forever indebted | |

| [Bridge x2:] | |
| You start losing your mind when you're gone all the time and you always on the move | |
| And you try to remind yourself it's gonna be fine | |
| And you hoping that it's true | |
| But I know we're getting closer | |
| [Hook] | |
| [Outro - Mike's Mother:] | |
| Hi buddy, it's me | |
| Just thought we might catch up before you got on the plane | |
| But I just wanted to say hi, and you're hard at work I'm sure | |
| Love you buddy, miss you | |
| It was great having you home, okay | |
| You be careful and keep in touch | |
| And I'll track you and check on you | |
| Bless you, buddy | |
| Bye-bye, honey |
