Growing Apart (To Get Closer)

Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?

Where are you going? We should be growing now

Smoke to it nigga, smoke to it nigga

That's what she said to me

That place I used to call home is just a bed to me

and we don't even sleep, neighbors can hear her weep

Meanwhile I'm in these streets with everybody

I'm trying to get it and she know they got me, I watch her feelings watch me

As they staring with the saddest eyes of loneliness

Look each other in the face and barely blink

I tried to make it right but the pen ran out of ink

So if my letters don't reach you, I hope these lyrics in sync

That's what it said to me

But that place I call ambition now dead to me

Gone and forgotten, I'm off track like Dale Earnhardt

My liver rotten, alcoholic tripping

Fucking bad bitches and they got bad intentions

Club night, guys and dolls

Balling out, but I'm bout to drop the ball

I'm calling out for help, my engineer called

Told me come to the studio, I wanna tell him nah

That's what he said to me

But that place we call Heaven unfair to me

Only a hundred and forty-four can go

Seven billion people on planet earth today

Is there something that I don't know?

I know to follow him, rather following people

or follow vanity cause that means I'm following evil

Guess I'm following evil, I should follow cathedral

Blessings I need, but live like I don't need you

So in conclusion

We all seem to stumble, planning our own demise

Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size

So to what's important in my life, I apologize

I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified

We all get distracted

The question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards?

Would you not know how to act or take action? It's just a part of life

And if your vision's impaired, you probably lose it all tonight

I'm trying to visualize how to get it right

But my vision's so blurry

Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground

But we're always in a hurry now

And if I could make this world stand a little slower

Then I would, then we could grow a little closer

I think we're getting closer

I think we're getting closer
