Close to Me
ReUp Ty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loyal to my niggas they was there from beginning
Me & all my niggas we get wild in them trenches
Don't you call me bro if you wasn't down to ride with me
Had to split them meals we squeezed a dime out a penny
Now we focus on a bag we forever been getting
Me & all my brothers we forever been spinning
Standing in that war & it's forever been ending
Took an oath & told my niggas turn them rags to them riches

(Verse 1)
I got hit up & I lived so i know I got a purpose
Can't say the same about the ops I know them boys be hurting
I'm screaming fuck them niggas ima die before these verses
Niggas steady throwing shade yet they hid behind them curtains
If I don't make it out the trenches I'm shine In the dark
& no matter how just I far go I swear I play my part
I remember hitting licks & then we tearing down the mall
If my brother ever need me ima never tell him naw
We spent our last together
Spent time ducking court so we can ball together
Doing dirt & we done caught our first stank together
We was going on them hits ain't have our aim together
Now we changing fellas
If a nigga come close to me ima put him in the dirt where he suppose to be
Oooooo
& I got yo hoe with me
Boy don't try front yo move cuz I got pole on me

(Verse 2)
Gave my all right to the streets
I run it up & gave it all right to seed
Yeah I got some shit right up my sleeve
They say life ain't guaranteed
No that boy don't need no deed
He good just in case I got to leave
I can't lie it feel like lately I been losing my top
Filled with them benjis ain't no shoes in this box
Try take it from me make the news like it's fox
Scoring like I'm Magic 32 in this glock
But don't you snooze on the clock
Reminisce & get shivers
Having nightmares about killings
Lately been watching my mirrors
I'm alert like it's amber
We get up when it's down
Put my closes in the hamper
But we ain't throw in that towel
But if a nigga come close to me ima put him in the dirt where he suppose to be
Oooooo
& I got yo hoe with me




Boy don't try front yo move cuz I got pole on me
& I got the bros with me
