lyrics
And I came with an accent, I said Netherlands//
My surname something with pants//
I'm tryna get nearer to your ties and hips//
I mean I'm tryna get nearer to your eyes and lips//
She opened her door, tousled hair and a housecoat//
It kinda made me grin, thoughts of sin, but no//
Why not take a shot but I finna go higher//
Higher, higher, higher//
Hell yeah to that dude the picture gets clearer//
I feel I'm getting nearer, they asking me//
What have you been up to these last three years//
Nearer, nearer, nearer//
I study so hard like ain't no one my equal//
Plus I gotta serve my people, yeah bro that's how we do//
Plus I hunger for rhymes like a literate leapord//
And I tell you right now that God is my sheppard//
Cause truly around me all I see is distractions//
And people act like beasts chasing instant satisfactions//
What is your long term goal like, what are you here for//
Living for the here now but tomorrow will come//
I am trying to//
I am trying to//
Get nearer//
To You//
I've been searching all my life//
I've been taken to new heights//
To get nearer//
To You my God//
Life is, makin' an effort//
But I got nothing prove, I got nothing to lose//
Oh goodness, gotta love the good guy//
Take my hands if you wanna go high//
Yeah Pooh bear loves honey, I love it too//
In a monogamous way so it's only you//
But then once in a while I break my own heart//
By wanting a cookie that should be left in the jar//
My eyes won't provide sight, so I pray every night, my//
God is really there like Bruce Almighty//
You don't believe me, well it's pretty unbelievable//
It's conscious knowledge though, it's all rational//
But some ridicule, the water-dismissing fish//
Who act like plants that say animals don't exist//
See I just turned around like in Plato's allegory//
Of the cave, now over waves let my give you my story//
My identity's capacity, it's raised while it unfolds//
Servitude is the state, happiness the result//
Full circle is the feeling, meaning's in the mirror//
Of my heart as it's sparked, my soul is gettin' nearer//
I am trying to//
I am trying to//
Get nearer//
To You//
I've been searching all my life//
I've been taken to new heights//
To get nearer//
To You my God//
