so close
Why'd you have to give up? (Why? Why? Why?) Why'd you have to give up now, when we were so close? When we were so close I swear this could've been us (Why? Why? Why?) Imagine where we'd be right now 'Cause we were so close Yeah, we were so close  Wow, few years ago, we were on the radio that weren't legal Now you're scary yo, yo take control of your ego This real so your fake to the mandem now When I came with my sound, I made the mandem proud You used to be comfortable just tryna be the best in your area I was never satisfied, I'm tryna be the best from this era You said you've been depressed, you was re-addressing your career So I took a UberX when I could've came in my Carrera Just to make you feel better Just to make you feel worth something I showed you that I cared I admit that I went ghost and didn't phone you for two years Ain't easy breaking through glass ceilings, we fighting wars out here We fighting wars out here, yeah I out ran that here So it's okay throw shade like those sorta shorts I wear Yeah, 'cause if I lose the fame, don't know whose to blame I'd probably do the same Last level of a computer game, you can't clock But don't lose faith, it ain't too late  This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in You could've tried believing but you're leavin' You could've tried believing but you're leavin'  Ah, living insomnia, billin' up ganja Tryna get bigger on Myspace, bigger on Tumblr So a little bit of myself in you, you was just a bit younger Switching your line and ringing my phone on private number Told me you was ready for the world, yeah I can see you had a hunger Said I'm gonna make them respect me, like Dizzee and DJ Wonder Remember how your wifey went on stage, got a bit drunker Didn't wanna share no limelight, now you wanna steal my thunder Tripled my net worth, 'cause I'm rich in karma Even let you come to my studio, get you bits mixed and mastered Always showed love as an artist Celebrate it when you charted Then you started going on darky, wonder why the hype never lasted You can tell lies for a whole lifetime but the truth is a bastard We was with you on the phone till late, those times when you was at your darkest Now apart from your African friend's house, you ain't seeing no red carpets Had a whole world in your finger tips and now your so way past it  This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in You could've tried believing but you're leavin' You could've tried believing but you're leavin'  Why'd you have to give up?

Imagine where we'd be right now 'Cause we were so close Yeah, we were so close  (Yeah, Bugzy Malone) I was sitting in the back of a car with tears rolling down my face I didn't wanna cry but I know the streets aren't safe I know the police don't play, they've gotta be on my case There's only so many crimes that can take place before they observe it I was on a reministic ting but I didn't wanna miss this time I was studying, so I watched Giggs's, then I watched K Koke, then I watched Nines But when I say this, couldn't agree with this shit I'm one of the realest out here, man make music, man don't bitch So I jumped out the car, in a different town Wiped off the tears, no turning around Told myself, watch man do my ting They're gonna be like London's burning down Gonna be like London's burning down I've been grinding five years, four mixtapes, 1 EP; Never got a retweet, watch how it changes now
