[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
N***as ain't on shit nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this shit a facade (Shit a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
Fuck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)

[Verse 1: Pif]
The summer of '84
A blessing was born with devil horns and a halo
They say I wasn't 'posed to make it, huh
Funny, I was day old
Look at me, thirty-three (Thirty-three)
Thought I wouldn't even live to see еighteen (Eighteen)
Nightmares turn to daydreams
My life likе Friday the 13th
'Cause I duck the devil on the daily (Daily)
I can't let n***as play me (Play me)
They hate to see a n***a make it (Make it)
That's why I keep it off of safety
But no ifs, ands, or maybes
'80s baby, born a pound and thirteen ounces (Thirteen ounces)
Some say I'm throwed off, I might need counselin', but
I never needed n***as' vouches
I peep the bullshit about you
I'm here to bring the bitch up out you
And I ain't shit like these rappers
I came too far to look backwards
I'm on the path to madness (Madness)
Turned misery to magic (Magic)
I'ma let a n***a have it, Crip with a passion
Jaw jackin' get you closed casket
Closed captions, stone-cold bastard
Savage, n***a, compassionate with her
I'm gettin' at n***as
I'ma die 'bout mine, goin' out 'bout mine
Ain't nobody straight when I'm out my mind
Ain't nobody safe 'til I take what's mine (What's mine)
And I'ma take my time
You ready? I'm takin' off (Takin' off)
Your head? I take that off (Take that off)
And I ain't finna take a loss
I get it back just to fuck it off (Fuck it off)
Stack the twenties, the fifties, the hundreds
I'ma fuck it off Sunday, I'ma make it back Monday
On my mama, I'm comin' (Mama, I'm comin')
N***as touch a dollar, I'm dumpin', somethin' like
[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
N***as ain't on shit nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this shit a facade (Shit a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
Fuck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
Tryna get closer to God
Tryna get closer to God, yeah

[Verse 2: Don Trip]
Summer of '85
In a concrete jungle, mama went and gave birth to a baby lion
Too much pride, I ain't beggin' for it, I'ma take what's mine
Swear to God, if this load get any more heavy, shit'll probably break my spine
All my tears made a puddle, then my reflection told me to take my time
Not the stablest state of mind, pick at me and pick a day to die
My attitude so flammable, n***a, play with pussy, don't play with fire
I don't share, you can't play with mine, I hold my head up to the grayest sky
Take a swim in the sea of dreams and I pray my grief don't weigh me down
How I find every day divine, life's bittersweet like it tastes key lime
Gladiator, even though we tired, we gon' chase this money 'til the day we die
I had a dream that it was you and me and we was kickin' it like our shoe untied
I woke up and I cried 'cause I still didn't get to tell you goodbye
As I speak, tears in my eyes, hope these memories get me by
Send a message to God for me, if it comes from you, maybe He'll reply
Ain't no Band-Aids for a broken heart, Neosporin to an open scar
I got all these guns, but when the reaper came, I couldn't hold them off
I miss my brother even though we fought, we made it further than our neighbor's yard
If I could have one moment with you, brother, I would trade it all
Shooting star, hopin' they grant a n***a just one wish
I swear it hurt a n***a like shit just to say the words "Long live Pif"
[Chorus: Soulful Skonie]
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
But the Lord know my heart (Know my heart)
N***as ain't on shit nowadays, so I stay with this rod, uh (Stay with this rod)
Actin' like we peas in a pod, uh (Peas in a pod)
Claimin' that they down for whatever, but this shit a facade (Shit a facade)
I stayed a hundred, made it this far (Made it this far)
Fuck actin' real, is that who you are?
Tryna get closer to God (Closer to God)
Tryna get closer to God
Tryna get closer to God, yeah

[Outro: Soulful Skonie]
Be a heavyweight
They pray that you fall, just stay out the way
And keep that rod on you every day
Stay prayed up and ball on 'em every day
Be a heavyweight
They pray that you fall, just stay out the way
And keep that rod on you every day
Stay prayed up and ball on 'em every day, ooh
