Anybody want to take a look at my life

I swear they only ever see the highlights

There's been a couple times I coulda died right

It's funny now but looking at an old man at hindsight

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad that day

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad


[Verse 1]

We just left the house party in the hood

It was lit as fuck

Then a van pulled up throwing bottles at us

Then I heard "what, what" (run)

Leaping over fences [?] driveways, man

How did this night turn sideways (sideways), damn

It was me Boomin' and a few other homies

I wish I never had these Timbs on

They jumped out the back with a baseball bat

Life was the only thing I had a grip on (skrrt)

I'm out of breath I need new lungs

All I could hear "where you from?"

All I could hear "where your money at?"

All I could hear "where your shoes from?"

Ooh, say what, say what, say what

What's the last song playing

Now we looking for each other (fuck)

Did they really get a brother (stop)

Got me (praying), it coulda been worse

That's just another Friday

We never learn

Saturday coming up next


[Chorus]

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad that day

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad


[Verse 2: CJ Fly]

Party in a murder [?] it's my parents


[?]

Almost died, thinking they'll never know

Thick head, hard to hit, needn't care, had to [go/grow]

Shout to [?]

My nigga [Trevor?] was drinking way too much (too much)

But I was never in a place to judge

Bitch you know me then you know I never gave two fucks


[?]


[?]

I wasn't [?] they shoot us


[?]

Whatever happens, gon' happen

You don't bring the strap then you just got caught lackin' (flock)


[Chorus]

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad that day

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad


[Verse 3]

Red and blue lights in my rearview (yeah)

Police knocking at my door (knock knock), we don't hear you

Went and headed to a party down at central

[?] was the venue

We was looking up [?]

[?] at the party so we had to dip

On foot it was me, [Reggie?] [?] and some chick on the way out to St. Lukes

Going over fences like I'm Babe Ruth

Car slippin' down the [?] in the sea of blue

They tried to check us for our shoes

Yelling out "C's up"

Til they realised they [?] were cousins

So they us with the [?]


[Chorus]

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad that day

That was a close one (that was a close one)

That was a close one

Things coulda got real bad


[Voice]

What's really good?

Yes today was a bad day

Man, shit really hit the fan day

Mmm, what about tonight?

If they pull up at the lights

Get [?] out the van day

What's really good?

Yes today was a bad day

Man, shit really hit the fan day

Mmm, what about tonight?

If they pull up at the lights

Get [?] out the van day
