So Close, So Far - Statik Selektah
Wouldn't it be nice if life was sort of like a dream like a dream
And everything wasn't really what it seemed
What if everything you ever wished for was in reach reach
And you could learn everything your school didn't teach teach
Wouldn't it be nice if the banks didn't f**k up the loans
And people ain't have to move out they homes homes
With no GM or AIG
And for that matter no cancer or AID
Yes I'm sure we could all agree
That the world I'm talking about is where we would like to be be
Worried about debts recessions and foreclosure
Too much stress somebody pass me the doja the doja baby
So I could just float float
And not have to worry about paying my car note note
But once the smoke clears you right back where you was
But it's still cool just to dream man because
I'm high for sleep I'm high for work for work
It always seems so real then fades away away
I know I sold my soul I bought my body
I guess these major deals ain't all they seem
Not quite what I was dreamin of
One world one heart not quite what I was dreamin of
So close so far not quite what I was dreamin of
No tears no scars not quite what I was dreamin of
We're so close so far
I need more than sixteen Stat'
We was lookin for change 'til Barack came
Sooner lookin for change but these rocks ain't
Movin eyelids low 'cause my bills too high
And my kids growing quick and my lady's growing tired
So my outlook's dim and my house is eventually without any heat
Unless it's coming out of me
See wages is minimum
The race that I run feels Usain quick and I'm in ankle weights and Timberlands
Life's tryin to lap you
Them hustlers fast but life is a three course meal let them fast foods
Have it for now
Quick money never stays get your money stay patient outlast it for now
Before I lay down I thank God for the blessings
Every bit of success as well as my imperfections
'Cause ain't nobody perfect everybody searchin
For happiness we livin like every day's urgent
Every day's harder ain't nothin here promised
To live as will Smith you must endure the Chris Gardners
One world one heart not quite what I was dreamin of
So close so far not quite what I was dreamin of
No tears no scars not quite what I was dreamin of
So close so far not quite what I was dreamin of
One world one heart not quite what I was dreamin of
So close so far not quite what I was dreamin of
No tears no scars not quite what I was dreamin of
So close so far
Dreaming of on a lullaby
