Growing Apart (To Get Closer) Song LyricsWhere are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
(Smoke to it, nigga, smoke to it, nigga)
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now
That's what she said to me
That place I used to call home is just a bed to me
And we don't even sleep, neighbors can hear her weep
Meanwhile, I'm in these streets with everybody
I'm tryna get it and she know they got me
I watch her feelings watch me
As they staring with the saddest eyes of loneliness
Look each other in the face and barely blink
I tried to make it right, but the pen ran out of ink
So if my letters don't reach you, I hope these lyrics in sync
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
That's what it said to me
But the place I call ambition now dead to me
Gone and forgotten, I'm off track like Dale Earnhardt, my liver rotten
Alcoholic tripping, fucking bad bitches and they got bad intentions
Club night, guys and dolls
Balling out, but I'm 'bout to drop the ball
I'm calling out for help, my engineer called
Told me "Come to the studio", I wanna tell him "Nah"
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
That's what he said to me
But that place we call Heaven unfair to me
Only 144 can go
Seven billion people on planet Earth today
Is there something that I don't know?
I know to follow Him rather following people
Or follow vanity 'cause that means I'm following evil
Guess, I'm following evil, I should follow cathedral
Blessings I need but live like I don't need you
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
So in conclusion, we all seem to stumble, planning our own demise
Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size
So to what's important in my life, I apologize
I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified
We all get distracted, the question is would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Would you not know how to act or take action? It's just a part of life
And if your vision's impaired, you probably lose it all tonight
I'm trying to visualize how to get it right, but my vision's so blurry
Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground, but we're always in a hurry, now
And if I could make this world spin a little slower, then I would
Then we could grow a little closer, I think we're getting closer
I think we're getting closer
