Close to the Chest Video (MV)

Think I'll play this close to the chest
Spent a lot of time protecting the nest
Lot of people
Coming straight for the neck
Why you think I struggle
Finding my rest
People making choices
Only chasing the check
I'm erasing my debt
Taking what was given
Then I swing for the fence
I'm hoping I can hang with the best
But what's that really mean
If I keep on changing set
Do I know my dream
I shouldn't chase a single vet
If I'm preparing me
I am not dependent like an engine
Running gasoline
Can you listen please
Whole time trying to catch a groove
Like in the middle of a phone line
Oh my
Try to make a move
Not detrimental to my whole life
Long time in the making
This is bigger than the paycheck
Tell you all bout who the greatest
On my grave
I bet I say a word
To change your ways
I ain't afraid of having confrontation
If it leading to some better places
It's okay I swear

Close to the chest
Get it right this time
Made too many same mistakes
Get it right this time
I don't care if you really not feeling this vibe
Only means that I don't have to waste my time
With you
Out of my circle
I ain't got the room
Lot of folks really ain't ready for truth
Clearer and clearer
I know what to do
Watch out breaking out
I am done with the blues

Close to the chest
Get it right this time
Made too many same mistakes
Get it right this time
I don't care if you really not feeling this vibe
Only means that I don't have to waste my time
With you
Out of my circle
I ain't got the room
Lot of folks really ain't ready for truth
Clearer and clearer
I know what to do
Watch out breaking out
I'm done with the blues

I ain't a copy cat
Broadcast through your headphones
You better Roger that
Ball cap on
Cause I don't want to be a part of that
Everybody talking like their walking
With a hundred this
A hundred that
Not making nothing run it back
Copy cat
Broadcast through your stereo
That I'm a different cat
Ball cap on to clear it up
Know its a starter cap
Long way home
If you want to reach me telling
Better call my phone
I don't text back
Sorry but I'm not
It's really nothing personal
Don't take it all to heart
Sometimes I get distracted
See I'm working on a lot
But I promise I'll get back to you
Could take a little while
Open up tell me that I should get closer
To people
But sometimes I put too much trust in these people
You give and you give and you give
And they bleed you
Like when is it my turn receiving
There's a lot to this sequel
A lot to this season
The cream of the crop is believing
A box of my feelings is laying all out for your reading
What's close to my chest
Not as easy as breathing

Close to the chest
Get it right this time
Made too many same mistakes
Get it right this time
I don't care if you really not feeling this vibe
Only means that I don't have to waste my time
With you
Out of my circle
I ain't got the room
Lot of folks really ain't ready for truth
Clearer and clearer
I know what to do
Watch out breaking out
I am done with the blues

Close to the chest
Get it right this time
Made too many same mistakes
Get it right this time
I don't care if you really not feeling this vibe
Only means that I don't have to waste my time
With you
Out of my circle
I ain't got the room
Lot of folks really ain't ready for truth
Clearer and clearer
I know what to do
Watch out breaking out
I'm done with the blues
