Close To Me
D.E.P. Lyrics

I been the man since that day
I have been confident and successful since that particular day

I been the man since back way
I have been the dominant figure since a long time ago

Since then I fell into my bad ways
Since then, I have started engaging in negative behaviors

Bad habits turn into some bad days
My negative behaviors have resulted in unpleasant experiences

My mama been mad at my bad grades
My mother has been angry about my poor academic performance

But I'm too faded to hear a thing
However, I am too intoxicated to pay attention or care

Need diamond pinky ring
I desire to have a luxurious diamond ring on my little finger

My old friends still wanna hang
My former friends still want to spend time with me

My old bitches missing me
My previous romantic partners are longing for my presence

But it's my life so I disappear
However, it is my own life, so I choose to vanish or distance myself

Oh it's days like this that I need you here
On days like this, I yearn for your presence and support

I don't like this life, wanna disappear
I dislike this lifestyle and wish to vanish completely

I can feel the effects every other year
I can sense the consequences periodically, every alternate year

I don't feel no effects when I down the beer
I do not experience any consequences when I consume alcohol

Everything they tell me out the other ear
I do not pay attention to anything they say; it goes in one ear and out the other

I don't listen 'less it's in my best interest
I only listen if it benefits me or aligns with my personal gain

Yeah I'm keepin' me pounds at the-
Yes, I am keeping a large amount of money at...

I need 50 bands 'fore I finish the sentence
I require 50 thousand dollars before I complete this statement

Bitch I move like Dennis, I'm really a menace
I am as disruptive and dangerous as Dennis (possibly referring to a fictional character)

I pop me a pill, movin' backwards like Tenet
I take a pill and feel like I am moving in reverse, similar to the concept of the movie 'Tenet'

Cause a racket in court, bitch this shit like tennis
I create chaos and disturbance in court, resembling the competitive sport of tennis

My bitch hate me so much, she so independent
My partner dislikes me greatly; she is extremely self-sufficient

Bitch it's basement chain gang, peep me in the pendant yeah yeah yeah
We are a group of individuals confined in a basement, observe my presence in the necklace

I get high as hell when I feel real low
I consume drugs to alleviate my emotional lows, even to extreme levels

They like lemme know how that go
Others want to be informed about my experiences and their outcomes

Ain't no one to talk to when the sun down
There is no one available for conversation when the sun sets

Had that and she let that go
I had something or someone, but I lost or relinquished it

My whole life made of unsure choices
My entire life consists of decisions that lack certainty or confidence

Why I live like this, I don't know
I am uncertain why I continue to live in this manner

My whole head full of unheard noises
My mind is overwhelmed with unheard or unrecognized sounds

Tryna get these out on my own
I am attempting to deal with these challenges independently

It's cold at night and it's tears in these voices
The nights are chilly, and the voices contain signs of distress or sadness

But this eighth gon' hold me close
However, this portion of drugs will provide me with comfort and solace
