2ru3 Closer 2 Dyin'
[Intro]
Time is passing...getting closer to dying...
Before you know it....it's gone be over
So you might as well live it....hey
[Verse]
I remember being younger, when I'd wonder
Was I truly ever made to be something
It seemed anything great was far from me
And I had to stay down bad never bubbling
Struggling in my mind
Same ones that said they love me put me down
Fake friends, set me up tryna bring me down
If it was up to them, 2Ru3 wouldn't be around
I do my best to stay up through the rain
Fighting hard everyday I live to see a change
Making moves to improve my life daily
Being true and trying to do right baby, hey
To me life ain't a game mane
Cause one move can rearrange ya whole pace mane
All I wanna be is me and reach my best living
And see what it is to win with these gifts in me, hey heyy
[Chorus]
Everyday that I wake up I realize that I'm getting more closer to dying
(getting more closer to dying)
But before it's all over, I'm hoping to get to see more better in life
(see more better in life)
Everyday that I wake up I realize that I'm getting more closer to dying
(getting more closer to dying)
Been struggling trying to make it, but it only seems time is passing me by
(time is passing me by)
[Verse]
Mind drifting through the night
Reminiscing bout my days as a juvenile
Many pressures came my way, but I stayed down
Being true to who I am and knew deep inside
Seeking truth as I'm growing, steady hoping
To find a path of promotion and forward motion
Only sought to do what's right and reap what my reward is
Never cared bout diamonds, mansions and having hoes pimp
(day and night)
I seen how mama been struggling
Tooth and nail she sacrificed through all her suffering
With what she had she always made enough for me
When in pain she still smiled and gave love to me
('fore I die)
Let me say what you mean to me
A beautiful soldier robed in wisdom and a queen truly
My inspiration when dark clouds follow me
In a mother you've been everything and all I need
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Everyday, I dream of better days
Everyday, I seek to see a change
Everyday, though times I feel faint
Everyday, struggling hard to keep sane
Everyday, my heart is in a war
Everyday, feeling lost nowhere to go
Everyday, wondering when a nigga die
Everyday, will my spirit sink or fly
Everyday, can I live and be proud
Everyday, feeling free and not bound
Everyday, on my own foundation
Everyday, no more struggling for paper
I contemplated on illegal moves
Cause legal money making chances wasn't coming through
(Many times) I felt ready to take my last breath
(Sick and tired) of living beneath I'm trying to get ahead, heyy heyyy
[Chorus]
[Outro]
