[Verse 1]

Typical team, skipping school

Breaking every flipping rule, popular

Wishing I was invisible

Who are you to ridicule?

I'm (Closer to my dream)

And it was hard work, not a miracle

That got me to a point where

Everybody wants to be my friend, I got a voice spare

Police wanna see me re-offend, but I avoid them

And now I feel like lighting up (I'm getting high)

I take flight like I fly with doves

Your time is up

But I'm (Closer to my dream)

That's why everybody's mad at me

Because I be defying the rules of gravity

(I'm getting hot and hot here) Yes, I am

(Feel it in my sleeve)

But this no longer a dream

I used to listen to them tape packs to follow the scene

[Chorus]

(Sometimes it feels like I'll never go past here)

Never gonna pass here before the past year

I've seen these other stars where I should be

(Sometimes, it feels like I'm stuck forever)

Stuck forever will fuck my head up

Thinking everybody else is onto something badder

[Interlude]

Everybody's asking when I'm gonna have a number one, like

(Closer to my dream)

I'm feeling like

I'm feeling real successful without one right now to tell the truth

Haha (I'm going higher and higher)

If you knew the background

If you knew where I come from

If you know what a journey it's been

Haha (Yo)

Trust me

[Verse 2]

The Devil's upset

I ain't sold my soul when I'm doing my ting

I'll be major success

Yes, I'm on a quest and I'm (Closer to my dream)

And I ain't even signed to a label

Calm before the storm now I'm behind all the rainfall

Lightning and thunder, while you hide under a table

At nights when I wonder if I was unavailable

When someone like him got the call over me

But I don't feel bitter, I feel bigger

Because I overcome the bitterness, so, I'm the real winner

And I'm an ill spitter and I'm (Closer to my dream)

Indeed I am, yeah (I'm getting higher and higher)

(Feel it in my sleeve)

And even when I'm wide awake

That's how I know that it's real

[Chorus]

(Sometimes it feels like I'll never go past here)

Never gonna pass here before the past year

I've seen these other stars where I should be

(Sometimes, it feels like I'm stuck forever)

Stuck forever will fuck my head up

Thinking everybody else is onto something badder

[Outro]

I'm going high

Closer to my dream

I'm getting higher and higher

I think I'm almost free

Higher and higher, higher and higher

Higher

Sometimes it feel like you're never gonna change

Never gonna change

But you never choose to walk away
