Closer Than You Think

[Intro | 0:00–0:12] (Filtered vocal + ambient pad)
(Whisper)
DJ Mike on the beat
I let you in…
That was your first mistake

⸻

[Verse 1 | 0:12–0:32] (Minimal beat, bass pulse)
You smile sweet, but I read between
Every line that you never mean
Play your part like a masterpiece
But I see through the fantasy

Pretty lies in designer tone
Tryna act like you’re one of my own
You get close just to get control
But I already know your role

⸻

[Pre-Chorus | 0:32–0:48] (Build: hi-hats + riser)
I don’t trust what you say
I just watch how you move
Every step that you take
Leaves a trail of the truth

⸻

[Chorus / Hook | 0:48–1:10] (Beat drop, heavy 808s + synth stab)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to read your composure
Look in your eyes, now I know what you are
You don’t shine, you just playin’ a part

Keep your friends close, enemies closer
Dance in the dark, yeah, I’m pullin’ you closer
You thought you’d win, now it’s overexposed
I see the snake when you get too close

⸻

[Post-Chorus | 1:10–1:22] (Chopped vocal + beat bounce)
Too close, too close
Yeah, I see you
Too close, too close
I don’t need you

⸻

[Verse 2 | 1:22–1:42] (Beat returns, added percussion)
Switchin’ sides like a phase you wear
Say you real but you never there
Every move got a hidden play
You just wait for the right betray

You been talkin’, I let it slide
Now your truth got nowhere to hide
I stay calm, I don’t even trip
I just tighten my fingertips

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2 | 1:42–1:58] (Bigger build, layered vocals)
Let you think you’re inside
Let you think you belong
But I knew from the start
You were playin’ me wrong

⸻

[Chorus | 1:58–2:20] (Full energy drop)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to read your composure
Look in your eyes, now I know what you are
You don’t shine, you just playin’ a part

Keep your friends close, enemies closer
Dance in the dark, yeah, I’m pullin’ you closer
You thought you’d win, now it’s overexposed
I see the snake when you get too close

⸻

[Bridge / Rap Break | 2:20–2:45] (Beat strips → hard trap switch)
Yeah, I peep game, I don’t say much
You move fake, I don’t play tough
Let you talk, let you show your hand
Now I cut you off, wasn’t in the plan

No loyalty, just a mask you wear
No spine, just the acts you share
I don’t chase, I replace, that’s facts
Once you out, ain’t no comin’ back

⸻

[Breakdown | 2:45–2:58] (Echo vocal + piano)
(Soft)
Closer… closer…
Now I see you

⸻

[Final Chorus | 2:58–3:25] (Biggest drop + ad-libs + harmonies)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to take the exposure
Every move that you tried to conceal
Now I know what you really reveal

Keep your friends close, enemies closer
You got too near, now it’s game over
You played yourself gettin’ close to me
Now you just a memory

⸻

[Outro | 3:25–3:40] (Fade, distorted vocal)
Keep ‘em close…
Yeah…
Even closer…
