So Close to Happiness

Check it yo

I think I’ll be a father one day soon, I must admit it

I’ll be the type of dad to give you hugs and lots of spinach

I take vacations but I tell my wife I’m gone on business

She probably thinking I screwed around with my new assistant

One day our kids will sit us down and ask us how we met

Well I liked her pic on Instagram one day she hit me back

Said I was cute and shit and didn’t love me for my money

Apologize, I was a dickhead in my early twenties

Back in the day your daddy was a rapper

Riding ‘round on tour-busses getting bitches after

Said I needed space, could have sworn I went to NASA

Then I met your mom it was happy ever after

Yeah, okay those days were super crazy

Would have done those shows for free

But won’t complain that you would pay me

Driving around my old neighborhood in a new Mercedes

It won't be too long ‘til they ask me “what you doing lately?”

I know you think you need that

We don’t wanna believe that

We can make it to the top

We’re so close to happiness

So close to happiness

Big house, don’t really need that

Real love, I’m tryna keep that

Please don’t give up what we got

We’re so close to happiness

So close to happiness

Ayo, where the fuck did time go?

I used it wisely, that’s why I will never rhyme slow

I’m in hotels such much that I feel like the Bible

I see so many naked pictures on my iPhone, oh it’s like a slideshow

Oh my gosh my mind’s blown

It get me deeper than a pizza in Chicago

Been on so many planes I can’t explain my timezone

A middle seat in Delta sorta feels like my home

This is all that I know

Make beats, write songs, hope that shit go viral

Only motivation was to blow it up like pyro

Now that I’m so close to reaching my goals

Every step I take is like a spiral, self destructive, I know

That’s just how I feel, I’m sorry if I’m not supposed to keep it real

I guess I’m scared if I accomplish all my dreams the only thing left

Will be to talk about me and I don’t wanna do that

I know you think you need that

We don’t wanna believe that

We can make it to the top

We’re so close to happiness

So close to happiness

Big house, don’t really need that

Real love, I’m tryna keep that

Please don’t give up what we got

We’re so close to happiness

So close to happiness

And I just wanna find someone to believe in

I’m so close

I don’t wanna let you go, why you leaving?

I don’t know

I tend to fuck up all the special things

So don’t let it go away

I’m telling you that I’m so close to happiness

I’m so close to having it, having it

And I wanna let you know

You can be part of it

Cause I’m so close to happiness

Yeah baby like, woah-oh-oh

Yeah baby like, woah-oh-oh

And I want to let you know

You can be part of it

Cause I’m so close to happiness
