First time I heard this song i was in state prison doing 9 years for a robbery of a drug dealer. Been home 12 years and now a successful business man thanks to this song. Closer to my dream🙏🏽
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.
this song was my ringtone my call tone...and my FOCUS tune for my 5 year plan...to relocate my business and my LIFE back home to Jamaica where I am originally from....this am...I and praising GOD and HERE IS STAND....and doing it in STYLE...in my HomeLand.... All that you say...If you have a goal and a passion...to do something..find you a tune...play it over and over again...stay consistent in what you are doing... and LET ALL YOUR FEARS burn down....and MOVE ON...no matter what....YAH WAY
i feel like im floating in my mind believing imma live my dream in time would turn wrong to right but i dont want to fade in the lime light and turn out the person i despise wait closer to my dreams bring me further from faith im already pinned on my knees shall i pray Dear god, i havent asked for much never did real wrong, disobeyed your trust but all this im imaging is really enough you blessed me with the music i love
extremely beautiful song with the lyrics or without. i can't differentiate between the music and her. when i hear this i immediately think of her. the lyrics are the BOMB as well...continue to shine through your creativity GOAPELE... may the sun be at your back, the wind in your hair and the GODSPARK in your heart...
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
So you wanna hear my pain imma take u to my past When I was 8 years old I got my clothes from the trash every damn day I would call my dad he would give me 30 dollars and I would have to make it last one day me n moms was walking in the dark we ain't have no where to sleep I lay my head in the park I never had a pillow so my pillow was some bark I knew I was homeless but I knew that I was smart I had to go to school even when I was stankin I would tell people my story but they thought I was faking
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
Born & raised middle class family, all handed to me But will I drift & shift across this city of life No more backstabbing, no more knife Can’t even turn my best friend to a wife Got no one to trust, time changes you can see all the rust Just a short verse, hope you took a peek I’m just seeking, she freakin No where close to my dreams but I’m still plottin, all schemes This just my theme
Every day I'm alive .. I give thx to him.. Been hustling along time count alot off Benjamin's...then again ...all bullshit comes to an end... I could go on n on...but where should i begin....😐
So many closed doors and missed opportunities // everybody struggle in life it's no immunity // trying to be all I can be..... but the only service I know... is community // hustling is all I know.....I dibbled and dabbled // how can you win the war when they fixing the battles // the ball was in my court but I picked up my dribble and traveled // confidence of a king....the only thing I'm missing is the castle..............
closer to my dreams been threw a lot so now its time for a change a change that will be arranged made a lot of mistake in life wrong decisions was made but now I've learned that things will never be the same if u continue to moving the same and doing the same thangs so now im moving forward in life were im closer to my dream hey were only humans we make mistake but if u keep the faith u get higher and higher and closer to your dreams
puffing on dat fire hopeing it will take me higher, only love my real friends, there the only heroes i admire, fake friends are dey r is liars, but they neva bring me down, bcuz im always so up, soaring, always in dem clouds cant hear dem problems cuz my speakers too loud, roaring, life is too stressful just gotta take it in strides, jus lookin for an escape, close my eyes and i just sail away, in my dreams problems just seem to fade away.
let me tell u bout my story that I had in the past I never seen brother that had me sad but it's all good and im still in the hood my other brother im still glad that he here he been on a high speed chase and shot in the knee that's why I thank God for him and me im still trying to hold back this tear and I already know with God in my life I got nothing to fear and see this life out here crazy I got niggas trying to play im glad im still breathing and achieving R.I.P mob boss R.I.P bullet rest up to my nigga uncle timon
i wanna be closer to dreams,but i can,Never Sleep steady putting a fitted to my heart,banging in the streets leaving me barely alive, but spirits are forever deceased Never did i lose stride,but hope gets tooken like every friend of me who closer to their dreams now,and i'll admit really it hurts and it fucking kills me is the better words all the old out living us youngs going first Mom You shall not see me in a hurst
2021 who still rocking with me to this?? Y’all mind if I make my song to it finally? Originally was rapping about my cousin who passed away on 2008 due to being shot by someone who thought she was an opposing gang member. She was only a 15 year old black girl…. Love y’all. - CHOS3N I love you Tashell
Still gotta lotta wanna see I ain’t seen enough/ Pray that when I die up on this earth GOD beam me up/ They see we winning na ,they tryna team it up/ Took so many L’s bet I won’t take no mo again/ Who has god blessed We can tell by ah show ah hands/ Tears falling down ma face I was tryna hold them in / I want you closer to ma heart Don’t leave me/ With you by ma side bae it’s making this is easy/
stressful things 2day but I'll deal w/ it 2morrow.If I deal w/ it any otha way it'll only end n sorrow.I know theres answers 2 my ?'s so the lessons i'll borrow.I've ben leadin so long, my pride so strong i've 4gotten how 2 follow.I wnna nourish myself w/ the beauty of the world but its hard 2 swallow.So i take it day by day,I work best this way, so its not impossible.I smoke my herb,converse w/ friends gettin philosophical. We chill & grin, discuss our daily sin, 2 us its logical.2 b continued
So you wanna feel my pain let me blast you through my past, ion think I'm gonna change Im Still living by the trash everybody quick to dash Im flipping my cash
Life was hard but I didn’t give up tho 15 years old ain’t no kid had to grow up old to know the ropes living in the projects people always told me I would be great just wait, your sexuality don’t define who you r just be you u be great mama always had a problem wit my ways used to kry all night talk to big brother he gave me tips bc he the same way ima shy kid been dat since I was little point wasn’t getting across so I learned to jus kick back and huddle
201 am can't sleep lost in my thoughts once again, like who really my friend who really pretend and who really got your back when shit hits the fan. Can't wait till I blow up and have a million fans finally but my momma in her dream house and cop a benz, cause lord knows I've been threw it all as a kid dad left us years ago haven't talked to him since. If it wasn't for my girl I'd be homeless that's just some real shit to think about. Like growing up sleeping on momma couch sneak to go see a girl then get locked out hit my nigga jonathon then slide to his house. Told me play hey mister we gone smoke out.
Closer to my dreams With u baby All these years U stood by me Sacrificed everything nice All for me I love u my boo Everything I do I do it for u Let's get closer to our dream Come back n dream with me Layin next me That's what my dreams about Closer to ya Ya come back to me Let's get married... Have our own family That's ME on my knee Finally... 💙💍
I did this song, I really love this beat, it's like, a real personal thing for me, the original song meant a lot to me, and I thought it was only fitting I use this instrumental to tell a story about it. I would appreciate it if you all gave it a listen. Kidd Koul - Closer
