Closer f. Andreena Mill Lyrics

[TALKING]
Yeah…
I, I remember me, me and D used to talk about this stuff all the time
Like… what’s it gon be like when you closer to ya dreams
I didn’t know much then but, prolly tell you a lil’ somethin now…

[VERSE 1]
Mr., Big, Dreams, no, tolerance
cut you at the house and haven’t hollered since
Get bored quickly,
he stay grown so the P-A Trone had to get poured quickly
Ex girl strippin’, I can’t stop her
New girl trippin’, but I can’t drop her
Cause I need something, to balance out the fact
that it’s hard to find a woman when you talented and black
When you hollerin’ at labels and they silencing you back
cause you fail to thoroughly discuss some violence in ya track
Well, gun shot for the young yacht owners
see there’s everybody else then there’s one top loner
1st place, is often the worst place
but fuck it, I love it here, I call it my birth place
Whenever I walk in, they makin’ the worst face
surrounded by filipinos I think of the worst case
Watch blue an green diamonds I call it the earth face
I’m gettin’ ya cake, I’ll tell ya how your dessert taste
I get a dessert plate, I eat pedigree as your meal
I been Erkel for some years, it’s better bein’ Jaleel
Though I rock, lean, snap, it’s better bein’ this real
It’s better drivin’ a car with the letter B in the wheel
Seat back, life’s sayin’ tank on E
I got the drank on me, you better bank on me
To be the one and only nigga that you ain’t gon’ see
in the club, with a model spillin’ dranks on me
Nah, gimme twenty and a tank on free
I’m in the Range, bumpin’ Keyshia Cole singin’ off key like (Andreena sings)
Imma spare ya’ll, why you wanna judge me?
Ion never compare ya’ll
The City Is Mine, I know it because I’m there ya’ll
Winter ain’t even start and I’m really tryna prepare ya’ll
Spring 07′, 2nd quarter I’m droppin’
With or without a label, man I’m committed to poppin’
And take over the Summer, tour to tour hoppin’
Imma need a lot of women, Imma do a lot of shoppin’
Really no other option
Spend a lot of money just to make it back
Anybody I dissed in a song, I don’t take it back
Same rappers that’s all in ya face saying Drake is wack
are checkin’ my availability just to make a track
I promise momma, Imma do it
cause I know I put you through it (I know I put you through it baby)
And I just want you to sit around with your friends at a dinner table and say
“my baby’s famous and I knew it!”
(Yeah) and it wasn’t nothin’ to it
I’ve drawn it and drew it till the pen was out of fluid
Ball point run out, then all joints come out
Classic, rappers are fake, we can all point one out

[TALKING]
Yeah, I’d like to introduce you to the first lady of the ATF

[CHORUS ANDREENA MILL]
Closer to my dreams (Miss Andreena Mill)
I’m gettin’ higher
Yeah (Yeah man)
I feel it in my sleep (Sing it to ‘em baby)
I said I’m gettin’ higher, yeah
And closer to my dreams
Whoa
Sometimes it feels like I’ll never move on
Closer to my dreams

[VERSE 2]
Look, I took a plane to Hawaii with D
We was trippin’ off of the speed at which life progress
From meetin’ Trey in Atlanta to doin’ a cameo in his video has made everything right with X (Songz)
I got too many records and not enough shows
Too many rappers and not enough-
Well, you can fill the blank in
They tryna be the best
Just tryna place in the rankin’
They can’t play pen drop out
The gray ten drop out
Summer 05 with the gray Benz drop out
Charcoal charger, racin’ through back streets
On my Craig David shit the awful dodger
Showed her I’mma, I told her I’mma
Bout to get my run-on so hold the commas
Times a changed now I’m older mama
And these niggas ain’t solid they fold in drama
And that’s the realest shit I ever wrote
A compilation of mental thoughts that I never note
And hi, haters I’m back off of hiatus
How ya album doin’? I’m gettin’ cake off of my latest
Anticipated like the iPhone
Respected in any city that I roam
Summertime
Wintertime
Dinnertime
Anytime
Bet I am the nigga in my town when I arrive
Home

[TALKING]
Yeah, one more time ‘fore we turn the lights out ladies and gentlemen

[CHORUS ANDREENA MILL]
(sing it to ‘em baby) Closer to my dreams (lights about to go down)
I’m gettin’ higher
Yeah (curtains about to close but…)
I feel it in my sleep (i want y’all to enjoy yaselves on the way out)
(yeah man)
I said I’m gettin’ higher, yeah
And closer to my dreams
Whoa
Sometimes it feels like I’ll never move on
Closer to my dreams

[TALKING]
Uh, you know what it is man
It’s ya boy… D R A K, K, E
I’m almost there
Closer to my dreams
Yeah
