Consequence - Closer lyrics

* - Statik Selektah produces in this song [Chorus: Paula Campbell] The closer I get to yoooooou... (The closer I get to yooo-ooou...) The more you make me seeeee... (Oooh-oooh-ooooh...) By giving me all you goooot... (Oooh, baby, baby, baby..) Your love has captured me... (Ohh-ooh-ooh...) [Consequence - Verse 1ne] Bein a mother is a job, that's really never done And I'm the first to admit I ain't been a perfect son But truly on this day when you celebrate life I think about the wrongs that I need to make right But all the time you struggled, and sacrificed it ALL Just to make sho' we had jackets in the fall And I clearly recall you livin in pain From years of takin two buses, and ridin a train But like a elevator UP, we eventually bound And headin for a place where success is found And since, you gave me direction and the test is now The last thing I wanna do is let you down So what do you give somebody that'll give you anything? Never ask for nuttin, but gave you everything And that's the kinda love you ain't supposed to forget So the longer that I'm gone, the closer I get To...you! [Chorus] [Consequence - Verse 2wo] I guess I have to wonder what you wishin when you blow out the candles 'Cause livin how we livin had been so hard to handle But since you made me always lead by example If I gotta go to prison, then it's more than worth to gamble To get you everything that your heart could desire 'Cause that's the part that causes my heart to be inspired And that's the spark that causes my thoughts to reach higher So if it cost {?} then I walk through the fire I admire your will, and your honesty's fresh You taught me to be real and never follow the rest So we could talk about anything you wanna address 'Cause like Beyonce show, I'm seein "mamma knows best" And wouldn't hesitate to put a child in his place So the least that I could do is put a smile on ya face And that's the type of love you ain't s'posed to forget So the longer that I'm gone, the closer I get To...you! You! [Chorus] [Consequence - Interlude] If it ever feel like I'm far away... Just know, that I'm closer than you think And if you REALLY really need me All you gotta do is look inside ya heart [Chorus]
