Listen Closely (Freestyle) - Christon Gray

I used to be Mr. High

He don’t get no kiss goodbye

Sobriety feelin' good

Now my girl sees a different guy

I’m still in recovery though

I don’t like to give advice

I still wanna love you so

I’m just gonna improvise

Hard to talk about race

I don’t have the stamina

Green is the main color that comes with advantages

Mugshots we don’t smile for the camera

Can’t make the blood stop with these bandages

I got criminals in my family and whatnot

And some cops, I judge not, closed parameters

Only one in the game that treat me like an amateur

Happened to be a white boy from Canada

We still tryna shuffle cards God handed us

We just wingmen, look where God landed us

I always try to do my music in the manner of

The man above, that’s always what the standard was

Or so I thought, cold world, well they keep it real as Santa does

I ain’t tryna be scandalous

But when a label has a hit, that they hands won’t touch

We prove that a Jesus song can blow up

Now we talkin' the radio about playing Grow Up

Bout time to have a post on the 'gram go up

Yeah, still letting go of dead weight

God didn’t say no he said wait

In a new headspace, uh

And I’m learning how to work backwards

32 years and I’ve just reached the first chapter

Yeah

I love doing this yo

Lettin' you in a for a little bit, with so much going on

Listen Closely

Jesus loves you

And me too
