So Close

Why'd you have to give up (Why? Why? Why?)

Why'd you have to give up now

When we were so close

When we were so close

I swear this could've been us (Why? Why? Why?)

Imagine where we'd be right now

'Cause we were so close

Yeah, we were so close

Wow, few years ago

We were on the radio that weren't legal

Now you're scary yo

Yo take control of your ego

This love so fate to the mandem now

When I came with my sound

I made the mandem proud

You used to be comfortable

Just tryna be the best in your area

I was never satisfied

I'm tryna be the best from this era

You said you've been depressed

You was re-addressing your career

So I took a Uber X

When I could've came in my Carrera

Just to make you feel better

Just to make you feel worth something

I showed you that I cared

I admit that I went ghost

And didn't phone you for two years

Ain't easy breaking through glass ceilings

We fighting wars out here

We fighting wars out here

Yeah I out round about hair

So it's okay for shade lights

Those sorta shorts I wear

Yeah, 'cause if I lose the fame

Don't know whose to blame

I'd probably do the same

Last level of a computer game

You can't clock

But don't lose faith

It ain't too late

This fight ain't even over

The bell didn't even ring

There's no blood on the towel

So why'd you throw it in

You could've tried believing

But you're leavin'

You could've tried believing

But you're leavin'

Ah, living insomnia, billin' up ganja

Tryna get bigger on Myspace

Bigger on Tumblr

So a little bit of myself in you

You was just a bit younger

Switching your line

And ringing my phone on private number

Told me you was ready for the world

Yeah I can see you had a hunger

Said I'm gonna make them respect me

Like Dizzie and DJ Wonder

Remember how your wifey went on stage

Got a bit drunker

Didn't wanna share no limelight

Now you wanna steal my thunder

Tripled my net worth

'Cause I'm rich in karma

Even let you come to my studio

Get you bits mixed and mastered

Always showed love as an artist

Celebrate it when you charted

Then you started going on darky

Wonder why the hype never lasted

You can tell lies for a whole lifetime

But the truth is a bastard

You was on the phone till late

Then tired when you was at your darkest

Now apart from your African friend's house

You ain't seeing no red carpets

Had a whole world in your finger tips

And now your so way past it

This fight ain't even over

The bell didn't even ring

There's no blood on the towel

So why'd you throw it in (Why'd you throw it in)

You could've tried believing

But you're leavin'

You could've tried believing

But you're leavin'

Why'd you have to give up (Why? Why? Why?)

Why'd you have to give up now(give up now)

When we were so close(When we were so close)

When we were so close (so close)

I swear this could've been us (Why? Why? Why?)

Imagine where we'd be right now

(Imagine where we'd be right now)

'Cause we were so close

Yeah

Yeah, we were so close

(Bugzy Malone)

I was sitting in the back of a car

With tears rolling down my face

I didn't wanna cry

But I know the streets aren't safe

I know the police don't play

They've gotta be on my case

There's only so many crimes

That can take place before they observe it

I was on a reministic ting

But I didn't wanna miss this time

I was studying, so I watched Giggs's

Then I watched K Kokes

Then I watched Nines

But when I say this

Couldn't agree with this *****t

I'm one of the realest out here

Man make music, man don't *****

So I jumped out the car, in a different town

Wiped off the tears, no turning around

Told myself, watch man do my ting

They're gonna be like London's burning down

Gonna be like London's burning down

I've been grinding five years

Four mixtapes, 1 EP

Never got a retweet

Watch how it changes now
