[Intro: MIKE]

Ayy, ayy (Close to you)

Ayy, ayy, yeah (Close to you)

[Verse 1: MIKE]

It be peaks and declines, you know how life get

Grinding for your piece of the pie as long as time stretch

Do I keep or divide? I ain't decide yet

A diamond put a gleam in your eye, you gettin' blinded

Pretty deep in the plot, a lot to digest

The grabba be what keepin' me hot and prolly lighthead

My patna said don't speak on the opps, we rather digress

Or fightin' with them demons a lot

We stand besides 'em fried

Grieving 'em losses and that surprise death

Promise that I keep it alive, whatever Mom meant

Sorry if I'm bein' obnoxious or kind of complex

Not too much speaking to God, I be inside stressed

Ain't fly, kept my feet on the block and watch the flock left

Pride in completing the job, I gotta drop next

Time I spent fiending for props when it's the process

I don't be on the sides, I'm in the contest

Writin' what I seen, no facades, don't need a concept

I don't cheese for the bribe, I pree to nonsense

Took a while to believe in ya guy, they needed context

Spiraling, stink of demise, I had to find depth

With no means to decline, just a―check

[Verse 2: King Carter]

Uh, I ain't got no means to decline, not in my prime yet

These niggas want a piece of the pie, can't get a slice, kid

Know that momma be in the skies like the comet

Lil' mama think she sweeter than pie, can't get a slice, kid

Yeah, I had tears in my eyes, I didn't cry since

These niggas know I'm bleeding for mine, dying for nonsense

Niggas wanna creep in the lime, you ain't blind yet?

Surprised that I'm speaking in times, niggas is dying

The dark where the reaper reside, I'm getting fried with

I'm not who you think would abide, Allah aligned with

I'm gone, when you sing, I'ma cry, you know how eye get

I'm not Phillipines, but I'm fly, you know how Eyedress

The crease really be on my mind, you know when I stress

My brother really needed his mom, a love was timeless

Life gotta be a lil' slime, the things that I get

Runnin' thru the pain, it's aight, ain't really cried yet

Really hard to sleep so I'm fried, alone when I wept

These bitches wanna be on the side, I wasn't hiding them

They know I can't sleep unless I'm high, I'm tryna die lit

They know when I peep they ain't sly, they can't hide shit

Riding with the team til' I die, I got my mind set

Looking at the gleam in the sky, I ain't blind yet

Niggas want a piece of the pie, can't get a slice, kid

[Outro: King Carter]

Uhhh

"I ain't got no means to decline," what MIKE said

Mm

Mm

I ain't got no means to decline

Uh

Aight, aight
