So Far, So Close

Kolo

Everything you want’s so close
You only see the finish line when you an inch from it
Yeah, Yeah

Everything you want’s so close
You only see the finish line when you an inch from it
The world ain’t got locked doors
You looking for keys, when the path been instinct driven
And even you when you low
The high is near, but your sight can't keep drifting
God keeps calling my phone
I only fall short on the days that I don’t pick up

I see light in all my darkness, anyway, yeah yeah
Behind all my tears of joy is so much pain, yeah, yeah
I ain’t come this far to settle anyway, nah, nah
I ain’t come this far for nothing, I ain’t come this far nothing

2018 October, dreams seem far, but my fears much closer
I would nevеr leave the housе, I’m pro-contentment and antisocial
I would only talk to my Mom, she told me, you can’t stay on this sofa
Gotta get out of the Boro, the city’s too small your dreams ain’t local

Run around the city with her Debit card
Ill with the flows but I’m lost in the nebula
Five in the tank of the Ford was the regular
A&R’s turn a blind eye when we message 'em
That only brought more tunnel to my retinas
Free Basement in ‘19, I was setting up
Manifesto in '020, was a level up
Now the kids tell me I’m the one who they betting on nigga

Everything you want’s so close
You only see the finish line when you an inch from it
The world ain’t got locked doors
You looking for keys, when the path been instinct driven
And even you when you low
The high is near, but your sight can't keep drifting
God keeps calling my phone
I only fall short on the days that I don’t pick up

I see light in all my darkness, anyway, yeah yeah
Behind all my tears of joy is so much pain, yeah, yeah
I ain’t come this far to settle anyway, nah, nah
I ain’t come this far for nothing, I ain’t come this far nothing

November 2019 I got that call, my Mom ain’t healthy
Drove to the Boro that same night, asking the lord, to please not fail me
Doctors had bad news, it ain’t getting better, the cancer is spreading
She can barely talk to me, she’s so frail, her organs are failing

I was tryna find were the angels are
Not one in sight, they were prolly wearing camouflage
My hope didn’t have a home like vagabond
My dreams had no wings, so I let 'em fall
Once Mom passed, I was stuck where the devils are
They were working hard to band together like they Paramore
'Til I saw her in my dreams, and she let me know
Don’t let this pain stop the dream that you working for son

Everything you want’s so close
You only see the finish line when you an inch from it
The world ain’t got locked doors
You looking for keys, when the path been instinct driven
And even you when you low
The high is near, but your sight can't keep drifting
God keeps calling my phone
I only fall short on the days that I don’t pick up

I see light in all my darkness, anyway, yeah yeah
Behind all my tears of joy is so much pain, yeah, yeah
I ain’t come this far to settle anyway, nah, nah
I ain’t come this far for nothing, I ain’t come this far nothing

I ain’t come this far for nothing
I ain’t come this far nothing just to quit, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah
