"Closer Than Close" lyrics
(feat. Dru Down)
This right here is a verbal documentary in the lives of Num, Dru Down and Yuk
Ay, I'ma drop there drum just like my moms and pops
And I done spent my whole life duckin' and dodging cops
Never had a penny to my name but I'm down to get it
You got the crime of the century? I'm down, I'm with it
I got a baby on the way so it's a fucked up time
My baby mama tryna make me get a 9 to 5
I'm like "Fuck that bitch" I ain't no muthafuckin slave
I ain't no weak ass nigga workin' for minimum wage
I'm a hustla to the heart, I'ma make sumthin' happen
I'ma start sellin' dope bitch, fuck this rapping
I got eyes, I see thangs, Bruce and Little D
Nigga please, why the fuck that can't be me
Not knowing that the days of sellin' rocks is over
I got a sack on front and posted up in a Nova
And got one cool homie just to help me out
And took whatever the city of Oakland doped me out
Everything we've been through
These were things we all knew
We have to stay closer than close
We've got to stay closer
Nobody can stop us from making moves
We gon do what we gotta do
We gotta stay closer than close
Yes, yes! Look it, look it
Bumpin' em hard head, niggas is from the hood
Just like me, and it's real
I'm from the 5 right by the lake and Yuk is from the Vill, here's the deal
We started at the gate, and then we enter
Dru Down and the Luniz, nobody can fuck with us
Hustlas, strugglers, some hungry ass little youngstas
Pimp Of The Year took off, now it's time to floss
We came to boss but still was, don't get me wrong
But I'm just expressing myself in this here down song
We had [?] me and C&H
The Ice Cream Man, you know the first number one makers
But can you feel me? But can you really feel a nigga like me?
And then it's sho, that nationwide love, hustla oh
So many shows, that wasn't nothin' (Oh nuthin!)
Then after the show had another show and it's called a sideshow
You didn't know? Swinging em 454
And the [?] fuck the cops, they can't stop us
My niggas
Everything we've been through
These were things we all knew
We have to stay closer than close
We've got to stay closer
Nobody can stop us from making moves
? do what we gotta do
We gotta stay closer than close
Yo, yo, I wish you niggas could walk up in my shoes
And feel the blues just like the bad news there right after they lose
Don't get it confused, the Luni Tunz and Dru, we paid our dues
From sleepin' on the carpet in apartments with no food
It's time to prove these bitch ass niggas wrong and make some moves
[?] Luniz, Relativity signed Dru
We never knew our first single would blow, I mean it blew
I Got Five On It went platinum in the States and overseas too (Ooh wee!)
So now the hoes scream Luniz at the shows
We on the tour with Jodeci and Biggie on the road
Ballin' outta control, poppin' Cristis and the Mos
And every city we go, runnin' thrizzy on them hoes (You know)
Album went gold and then we froze
Took a four year break but now we back to let you know
We from the O the A the K, the land of the drugs
Blessed by the man up above
We go together like a hand and a glove
I love my niggas!
Things we've been through
These were things we all knew
We have to stay closer than close
We've got to stay closer
Nobody can stop us from making moves
We gon do what we gotta do
We gotta stay closer than close
After everything we went through
These were things that we all knew
We have to stay closer than close
We've got to stay closer
Nobody can stop us from making moves
We gon do what we gotta do
We gotta stay closer than close
Ay, I'ma drop there drum just like my moms and pops
And I done spent my whole life duckin' and dodging cops
Never had a penny to my name but I'm down to get it
You got the crime of the century? I'm down, I'm with it
