Kendrick Lamar - Growing Apart (To Get Closer) lyrics

[Chorus: Jhene Aiko] Where are we going? Why are we slowing down? Where are you going? We should be growing now [Kendrick Lamar] Smoke to it n***a, smoke to it n***a [Chorus] [Kendrick Lamar] That's what she said to me That place I used to call home is just a bed to me and we don't even sleep, neighbors can hear her weep Meanwhile I'm in these streets with everybody I'm trying to get it and she know they got me, I watch her feelings watch me As they staring with the saddest eyes of loneliness Look each other in the face and barely blink I tried to make it right but the pen ran out of ink So if my letters don't reach you, I hope these lyrics in sync [Chorus] [Kendrick Lamar] That's what it said to me But that place I call ambition now dead to me Gone and forgotten, I'm off track like Dale Earnhardt My liver rotten, alcoholic tripping f**ing bad b**hes and they got bad intentions Club night, guys and dolls Balling out, but I'm bout to drop the ball I'm calling out for help, my engineer called Told me come to the studio, I wanna tell him nah [Chorus] [Kendrick Lamar] That's what he said to me But that place we call Heaven unfair to me Only a hundred and forty-four can go Seven billion people on planet earth today Is there something that I don't know? I know to follow him, rather following people or follow vanity cause that means I'm following evil Guess I'm following evil, I should follow cathedral Blessings I need, but live like I don't need you [Chorus] [Kendrick Lamar] So in conclusion We all seem to stumble, planning our own demise Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size So to what's important in my life, I apologize I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified We all get distracted The question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards? Would you not know how to act or take action? It's just a part of life And if your vision's impaired, you probably lose it all tonight [Jhene Aiko] I'm trying to visualize how to get it right But my vision's so blurry Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground But we're always in a hurry now And if I could make this world stand a little slower Then I would, then we could grow a little closer I think we're getting closer I think we're getting closer
