Closer by Drake
Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah I remember me and, me and D used to talk about this kind of stuff all the time
Like what it's gonna be like when you get closer to your dreams
I didn't know much then but, probably tell you a little somethin' now
Mr. Big Dreams no tolerance
Cut you at the house and haven't hollered since
Get bored quickly
He stay grown
So the p-a-tron had to get poured quickly
Ex girl strippin'
I can't stop her
New girl trippin' but I can't drop her
'Cause I need somethin' to balance out the fact
That it's hard to find a woman when you talented and black
When you hollerin' at labels
And they silencing you back
'Cause you fail to thoroughly discuss some violence in ya track
Well
Gunshot for the young yacht owner
See there's everybody else then there's one top loner
First place is often the worst place
But fuck it I love it here I call it my birthplace
Whenever I walk in they makin' the worst face
Surrounded by Filipinos I think of the worst case
Watch blue and green diamonds I call it the Earth face
I'm gettin' ya cake I tell you how ya dessert taste
I get a dessert plate
Y'all eat pedigree as ya meal
I've been Urkel for some years it's better bein' Jaleel
Though I rock lean snap it's better bein' this real
It's better drivin' a car with the letter B in the wheel
Seat back
Light sayin' tank on E
I got the drank on me
You better bank on me
To be the one and only nigga that you ain't gon' see
In the club with a model spillin' drinks on me
Nah
Gimme 20 in the tank on 3
I'm in the Range bumpin' Keyshia Cole
Singin' off-key like
I'mma spare y'all
Why you wanna judge me
I don't ever compare y'all
The city is mine
I know it because I'm there y'all
It ain't even started I'm really tryna prepare y'all
Spring '07 second quarter I'm droppin'
With or without a label man I'm committed to poppin'
And take over the summer
Tour to tour hoppin'
I'mma meet a lot of women I'mma do a lot of shoppin'
Really no other option
Spend a lot of money just to make it back
Anybody I dissed in a song I don't take it back
Same rappers that's all in ya face sayin' Drake is wack
Are checkin' my availability just to make a track
I promise mama
I'mma do it 'cause I know I put you through it (I know I put you through it baby)
And I just want you to sit around with ya friends at a dinner table
And say "My baby's famous and I knew it" (yeah)
And it wasn't nothin' to it
I've drawn it and drew it 'til the pen was out of fluid
The ballpoint run out
Then all joints come out classic
Rappers are fake we can all point one out
Yeah
I'd like to introduce you to the first lady of the ATF (uh)
Miss Andreena Mill
Closer to my dreams I'm gettin' higher
Yeah I feel it in my sleep
I said I'm gettin' higher
Yeah
And closer to my dreams
Whoa
Sometimes it feels like I'll never move on
Closer to my dreams
Look
I took a plane to Hawaii with D
And we was trippin' off of the speed at which life progressed
From meetin' Trey in Atlanta to doin' a cameo in his video
Which made everything right with X (Songz)
I got too many records and not enough shows
Far too many rappers and not enough
Well
You can fill the blank in
They tryna be the best
Just tryna place in the rankin'
Day care play pen drop out
To grade ten drop out
To summer '05 with the grey Benz drop out
Charcoal Charger
Racin' through back streets
On my Craig David shit the Artful Dodger
Shola Ama
I told her I'mma
'Bout to get my run on so hold the commas
Times've changed now I'm older mama
And these niggas ain't solid they fold in drama
And that's the realest shit I ever wrote
A compilation of mental thoughts that I never note
And "Hi, haters
I'm back off of hiatus
How ya album doin'?
I'm gettin' cake off of my latest"
Anticipated like the iPhone
Respected in any city that I roam
Summertime
Wintertime
Dinnertime
Anytime
Bet I am the nigga in my town when I arrive
Home
Yeah one more time 'fore we turn the lights out ladies and gentleman
(Sing it to' em 'Dreena) lights 'bout to go down, curtains 'bout to close but
I want y'all to enjoy yourself on the way out, yeah man
(Yeah man)
Closer to my dreams I'm gettin' higher
Yeah I feel it in my sleep
I said I'm gettin' higher
Yeah
And closer to my dreams
Whoa
Sometimes it feels like I'll never move on
Closer to my dreams

Closer (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí, recuerdo que yo y, yo y D solíamos hablar de este tipo de cosas todo el tiempo
Como cómo será cuando te acerques a tus sueños
No sabía mucho entonces, pero probablemente te diría algo ahora
Sr. Grandes Sueños sin tolerancia
Te corté en la casa y no he gritado desde entonces
Me aburro rápidamente
Él se mantiene adulto
Así que el p-a-tron tuvo que ser vertido rápidamente
Ex novia desnudándose
No puedo detenerla
Nueva novia tropezando pero no puedo dejarla
Porque necesito algo para equilibrar el hecho
De que es difícil encontrar una mujer cuando eres talentoso y negro
Cuando estás gritando a las discográficas
Y te silencian
Porque no discutes a fondo algo de violencia en tu canción
Bien
Disparo para el joven dueño de yates
Mira, está todo el mundo y luego está el solitario superior
El primer lugar es a menudo el peor lugar
Pero a la mierda, me encanta aquí, lo llamo mi lugar de nacimiento
Cada vez que entro, ponen la peor cara
Rodeado de filipinos, pienso en el peor caso
Miro diamantes azules y verdes, lo llamo la cara de la Tierra
Voy a conseguir tu pastel, te digo cómo sabe tu postre
Consigo un plato de postre
Ustedes comen pedigrí como su comida
He sido Urkel durante algunos años, es mejor ser Jaleel
Aunque me balanceo con lean, es mejor ser así de real
Es mejor conducir un coche con la letra B en la rueda
Asiento hacia atrás
La luz dice que el tanque está en E
Tengo el trago conmigo
Mejor confía en mí
Para ser el único negro que no vas a ver
En el club con una modelo derramando bebidas sobre mí
No
Dame 20 en el tanque en 3
Estoy en el Range escuchando a Keyshia Cole
Cantando desafinado como
Voy a perdonarlos a todos
¿Por qué quieres juzgarme?
Nunca los comparo a todos
La ciudad es mía
Lo sé porque estoy allí
Ni siquiera ha comenzado, realmente estoy tratando de prepararlos
Primavera '07 segundo trimestre estoy lanzando
Con o sin discográfica, estoy comprometido a destacar
Y apoderarme del verano
Saltando de gira en gira
Voy a conocer a muchas mujeres, voy a hacer muchas compras
Realmente no hay otra opción
Gastar mucho dinero solo para recuperarlo
A cualquiera que haya criticado en una canción, no me retracto
Los mismos raperos que están en tu cara diciendo que Drake es una mierda
Están revisando mi disponibilidad solo para hacer una canción
Lo prometo mamá
Lo haré porque sé que te hice pasar por eso (sé que te hice pasar por eso, cariño)
Y solo quiero que te sientes con tus amigos en una mesa
Y digas "Mi bebé es famoso y lo sabía" (sí)
Y no fue nada para eso
Lo he dibujado y dibujado hasta que la pluma se quedó sin líquido
La punta esférica se agotó
Entonces todos los porros salen clásicos
Los raperos son falsos, todos podemos señalar a uno
Sí
Me gustaría presentarles a la primera dama de la ATF (uh)
Señorita Andreena Mill
Más cerca de mis sueños, me estoy elevando
Sí, lo siento en mi sueño
Dije que me estoy elevando
Sí
Y más cerca de mis sueños
Whoa
A veces siento que nunca superaré esto
Más cerca de mis sueños
Mira
Tomé un avión a Hawái con D
Y estábamos flipando con la velocidad a la que progresaba la vida
Desde conocer a Trey en Atlanta hasta hacer un cameo en su video
Lo que hizo que todo estuviera bien con X (Songz)
Tengo demasiados discos y no suficientes shows
Demasiados raperos y no suficientes
Bien
Puedes completar el espacio en blanco
Están tratando de ser los mejores
Solo tratando de ubicarse en el ranking
Abandonar la guardería
Abandonar el décimo grado
Hasta el verano del '05 con el Benz gris abandonado
Cargador de carbón
Corriendo por las calles secundarias
En mi mierda de Craig David, el Artful Dodger
Shola Ama
Le dije que voy a
A punto de comenzar mi carrera, así que guarda las comas
Los tiempos han cambiado, ahora soy mayor, mamá
Y estos negros no son sólidos, se pliegan en el drama
Y esa es la mierda más real que he escrito
Una compilación de pensamientos mentales que nunca anoto
Y "Hola, haters
He vuelto de mi pausa
¿Cómo va tu álbum?
Estoy ganando pastel con mi último"
Anticipado como el iPhone
Respetado en cualquier ciudad que vague
Verano
Invierno
Hora de la cena
En cualquier momento
Apuesto a que soy el negro en mi ciudad cuando llego
Hogar
Sí, una vez más antes de apagar las luces, damas y caballeros
(Cántaselo a 'Dreena) las luces están a punto de bajar, las cortinas están a punto de cerrarse pero
Quiero que todos se diviertan al salir, sí, hombre
(Sí, hombre)
Más cerca de mis sueños, me estoy elevando
Sí, lo siento en mi sueño
Dije que me estoy elevando
Sí
Y más cerca de mis sueños
Whoa
A veces siento que nunca superaré esto
Más cerca de mis sueños
