Salute. First time I heard it I was working on my first degree. I was unemployed and my 8 month old son passed away. This song gave me motivation to finish my degree and overcome so much grief. Now I have 2 degrees ( a Bachelors, Masters) working on my PhD and I work for the government. I bought my first home. Have a beautiful wife and a set of twins 2 yrs later. True story.

Closer to my dream you could not even imagine. Trying to find purpose in dis world… that’s my passion. In order to survive in this society. I must shed from my flesh renew my mind spiritually. I refuse to die in bondage with the mind of a slave. I’m indigenous to this my land taking that to the grave. Closer to my dreams I set intentions everyday. Manifesting what I desire healing in every way. I’m a Queen so I adjust my crown nothing else to say.

Closer to my dreams Its coming over me I'm getting higher Closer to my dreams I'm getting higher, higher Feel it in my sleep Sometimes it feels like I'll never go pass here Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck forever, ever [Chorus] But I'm going higher Closer to my dreams Im going higher and higher I can almost reach Sometimes you just have to let it go (let it go) Leaving all my fears to burn and die Push them all away so I can move on Closer to my dreams Feel it all over my being In my being..... Close your eyes and seek what you believe [Chorus] I'm moving higher, higher, oh Im going higher and higher and higher and higher Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh...oh...) I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all that I could see (Stretching out my arms so I can reach) I'm so close It's like I can just reach I can feel my dreams Closer to my dreams I'm moving closer to my dreams Sometimes it feel like you'll never gon'change (Never gon'change) But you never choose to walk away

[@bavyykayyy4429]

My life was never good Grew up in the hood Mama on that cocaine Clouds full of rain Yeah man I miss my daddy Even tho he never came back Mama gave him the Addy Yeah We moved alot But I always kept hope Things got rough when I saw her overdose on coke So I hit the street cuz who else was gonna raise me I was always crazy Got the nickname young bavy I was only 13 trynna get closer to my dreams Had the 9 in the book bag And a roll in my jeans So hard out here But I couldn't cry out here Started to lose faith lose I'm asking why I'm here Even when I got raped Things got grey And I ain't talking bout duck tape Sunny days wasn't coming No time to wait Nobody understand me A young lady Who had to be the man I just couldn't be Trust me y'all don't understand it This life right here God didn't plan this Brother in my cold arms his Warm blood I had witness Couldnt believe the trail Was dismissed no justice Blind but I can still see me trying so hard to close to that one dream Blinded by the gun to my head And in my eye was that red beam Pain underneath ain't what it always what it Seems
