[Chorus:NaS and Keri Hilson]
Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason (wish)
Can’t leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (this)
So in God’s Son we trust
‘Cause they know I’m gonna give ‘em what they want
They looking for . . . a hero
I guess that makes me . . . [...]

4x Closer
Verse 1:
Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don’t know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she’s right there in my ear
Telling me that
She wants to own me
To control me
Come closer
Come closer
Chorus:
And I [...]

[ Interlude ]
I got a pocket,
got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love that knows
that it’s all mine
Oh, oh, oh
Do what you want,
but you never gonna break me,
sticks and stone are
never gonna shake me
Oh, oh, oh
I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love that knows
that it’s all mine
Oh, oh , [...]

I’ve been livin in a room without windows
Away from the sun, no oxygen
I couldn’t tell if it was day or night
Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast
Rushing along on the pavement
Don’t even look at the people’s faces, going places
When an old man said stop
You nearly stepped on a flower
Growing through the cracks
And you didn’t even [...]

You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me feel more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there to lift me up
To make me strong
You’re not gone
You’re still here
With me all the time
You’re still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I [...]

Rubbing salt in my wounds
Like it don’t hurt, like it don’t hurt me
Your sweet bitter love songs
That seduce me with a sinister beat
I’m bringing out the worst in you
It was never my intention to
That was just unfair to do
Salt in my wounds
Getting burned up
With the negative heat
How can I stay mad with you?
When I’m so [...]

Hate those times when the mirror’s not my friend
When everything I see in it offends
Talking back at me I swear it says
All the things I think they’re thinking
All the things I think they’re thinking about me
About me
On rainy days when there’s absolutely nothing to do
But stay inside, bite my nails and chew
On all the things [...]

I like to think I know how to look out for myself
I’ve got ways and means to filter wrong guys out
When the B.S. meter is slamming into the red
I just walk away ’cause I’m not interested
I’ve never met a boy who didn’t hit on me
I did not suspect reverse psychology
You know, if you’d knocked I [...]

It’s been too long
Don’t think I’ve seen you smile at me for quite a while
And we’re too busy doing things
We haven’t noticed what’s missing
Where’s the fun we used to have?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Silly jokes and fairy tales
Where did we leave them?
Lost in the backyard
Your lasso my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can’t we [...]

What if I squeezed myself into any shape
And I still don’t fit
What if I bend myself so much that i break
And I cant mend it
What if I burned so bright that the fire goes out
And I cant stay lit
Whats the point in it
I could get good at crying crocodiles tears
Just to get along
I could carry [...]
