Closer to God lyrics

[Intro]
(DTdaKidd)
(Beat those drums)

[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
n*ggas ain't on sh*t nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this sh*t a facade (sh*t a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
f*ck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
Tryna get closer to God
Tryna get closer to God, yeah

[Verse 1: Pif]
The summer of '84
A blessing was born with devil horns and a halo
They say I wasn't 'posed to make it, huh
Funny, I was day old
Look at me, thirty-three (Thirty-three)
Thought I wouldn't even live to see еighteen (Eighteen)
Nightmares turn to daydreams
My life likе Friday the 13th
'Cause I duck the devil on the daily (Daily)
I can't let n*ggas play me (Play me)
They hate to see a n*gga make it (Make it)
That's why I keep it off of safety
But no ifs, ands, or maybes
'80s baby, born a pound and thirteen ounces (Thirteen ounces)
Some say I'm throwed off, I might need counselin', but
I never needed n*ggas' vouches
I peep the bullsh*t about you
I'm here to bring the b*tch up out you
And I ain't sh*t like these rappers
I came too far to look backwards
I'm on the path to madness (Madness)
Turned misery to magic (Magic)
I'ma let a n*gga have it, Crip with a passion
Jaw jackin' get you closed casket
Closed captions, stone-cold bast*rd
Savage, n*gga, compassionate with her
I'm gettin' at n*ggas
I'ma die 'bout mine, goin' out 'bout mine
Ain't nobody straight when I'm out my mind
Ain't nobody safe 'til I take what's mine (What's mine)
And I'ma take my time
You ready? I'm takin' off (Takin' off)
Your head? I take that off (Take that off)
And I ain't finna take a loss
I get it back just to f*ck it off (f*ck it off)
Stack the twenties, the fifties, the hundreds
I'ma f*ck it off Sunday, I'ma make it back Monday
On my mama, I'm comin' (Mama, I'm comin')
n*ggas touch a dollar, I'm dumpin', somethin' like
[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
n*ggas ain't on sh*t nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this sh*t a facade (sh*t a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
f*ck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
Tryna get closer to God
Tryna get closer to God, yeah

[Verse 2: Don Trip]
Summer of '85
In a concrete jungle, mama went and gave birth to a baby lion
Too much pride, I ain't beggin' for it, I'ma take what's mine
Swear to God, if this load get any more heavy, sh*t'll probably break my spine
All my tears made a puddle, then my reflection told me to take my time
Not the stablest state of mind, pick at me and pick a day to die
My attitude so flammable, n*gga, play with pus*y, don't play with fire
I don't share, you can't play with mine, I hold my head up to the grayest sky
Take a swim in the sea of dreams and I pray my grief don't weigh me down
How I find every day divine, life's bittersweet like it tastes key lime
Gladiator, even though we tired, we gon' chase this money 'til the day we die
I had a dream that it was you and me and we was kickin' it like our shoe untied
I woke up and I cried 'cause I still didn't get to tell you goodbye
As I speak, tears in my eyes, hope these memories get me by
Send a message to God for me, if it comes from you, maybe He'll reply
Ain't no Band-Aids for a broken heart, Neosporin to an open scar
I got all these guns, but when the reaper came, I couldn't hold them off
I miss my brother even though we fought, we made it further than our neighbor's yard
If I could have one moment with you, brother, I would trade it all
Shooting star, hopin' they grant a n*gga just one wish
I swear it hurt a n*gga like sh*t just to say the words "Long live Pif"
[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
n*ggas ain't on sh*t nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this sh*t a facade (sh*t a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
f*ck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
Tryna get closer to God
Tryna get closer to God, yeah

[Outro: Soulful Skonie]
Be a heavyweight
They pray that you fall, just stay out the way
And keep that rod on you every day
Stay prayed up and ball on 'em every day
Be a heavyweight
They pray that you fall, just stay out the way
And keep that rod on you every day
Stay prayed up and ball on 'em every day, ooh
