Yo, Joey Bada$$ fans, get ready to vibe with “THREE FEET AWAY” from his fourth studio album Lonely At The Top, which dropped on August 29, 2025! This track is a lyrical masterpiece, blending Joey’s signature boom-bap roots with the introspective storytelling we loved in singles like “STILL” and “DARK AURA.” Known for his raw, 90s-inspired flow and themes of ambition and solitude, Joey—aka Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott—delivers a soulful reflection that captures the album’s core vibe: the highs and lows of success.
With production likely tied to his Pro Era crew or longtime collaborator Chuck Strangers, “THREE FEET AWAY” hits with deep bars and emotional weight, echoing the conscious energy of All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ and the maturity of 2000. Whether you’re a fan of his Brooklyn grit or his battle-rap swagger, this song is a must-listen. Dive into the full THREE FEET AWAY lyrics below and unpack its introspective layers.

Lyrics of THREE FEET AWAY by Joey Bada$$
[Intro]
Three Feet Away
Three Feet Away
Three Feet Away
[Verse 1]
Okay, I Been Dealin’ With Anxiety, Yeah
I Been Practicin’ Sobriety, Yeah
I Been Chillin’ In The [0:21][?]
Somebody Lied To Me When I Was Younger
Told Me That I Couldn’t Be Who I Am Now
Woah, Was They Wrong ’cause I’m The Man Now
Know They All Jelly And I Make A Chance Now
F**k Sittin’ ’round, Bitch, I Had To Stand Out
They Reachin’, Come At Me With They Hands Out
I’m Reapin’ What I Sew, Life Done Panned Out
When They Ask What’s Wrong, I Seem Stressed
It’s Not A Secret That I Need A Reset
Recently, I Roll Off To Beaches
These Days, I Just Wanna Be Where The Peace Is
‘Cause I’m Broken Inside, Pickin’ Up The Pieces
No, My Vulnerability Is Not A Weakness, It’s A Strength
Still, I Been Standin’ Right On The Fence
Tryna Wash Away My Sins, I Repent
Countin’ My Blessings, No One’s Heaven Sent
And They’ll Always Make Dollars, No One Make Sense
Gotta Pay Attention, Take A Look Within
Is It Time Well Spent? It’s All Up To Him
Settin’ Intention Any Time I Can
Lord Knows I Been Tryna Be A Better Man
Lord Knows I Been Tryna Be A Better Man, Uh-uh
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m Just Tryna Play My Part
Even Though, Sometimes, It Get Hard
But I Can’t Get Lost In The Dark
Long As I’m Following My Heart
I’m Just Tryna Play My Part
Even Though, Sometimes, It Get Hard
But I Can’t Get Lost In The Dark
Long As I’m Following, I’m Following, Huh
[Chorus]
My Trust In God, Know He Lead The Way
Know It’s Gettin’ Loud, Know You Need A Break
Can’t Keep Up, This Could Be The Day
‘Cause Some Times, That Gold Three Feet Away
Put Your Trust In God, Know He Lead The Way
When The Noise Get Loud, Know You Need A Break
Can’t Give Up, This Could Be The Day
’cause Some Times, That Gold Three Feet Away
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
[Verse 2]
Okay, My Mind Is Like A Web Browser
Got Way Too Many Tabs Open
Voices In My Head Been Gettin’ Louder,
Tellin’ Me To Stop, But I Keep Goin’
Gotta Keep My Energy And Motion
Can’t Be Blinded By My Emotion
Got Three Eyes That I Keep Open
Tunnel Vision How I Keep Focused
Gotta Give It My Full Devotion
‘Cause Disbelief Lead To Corrosion
Count Me Out, But I Know I’m Chosen
Can’t Be A Swimming Pool, I’m A Ocean
Won’t Be The Fool No More, I Found Beauty In My Flaws
Know I Gotta Give It My All ’til The Day My Name Get Called
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m Just Tryna Play My Part
Even Though, Sometimes, It Get Hard
But I Can’t Get Lost In The Dark
Long As I’m Following My Heart
I’m Just Tryna Play My Part
Even Though, Sometimes, It Get Hard
But I Can’t Get Lost In The Dark
Long As I’m Following, I’m Following, Huh
[Chorus]
My Trust In God, Know He Lead The Way
Know It’s Gettin’ Loud, Know You Need A Break
Can’t Keep Up, This Could Be The Day
’cause Some Times, That Gold Three Feet Away
Put Your Trust In God, Know He Lead The Way
When The Noise Get Loud, Know You Need A Break
Can’t Give Up, This Could Be The Day
’cause Some Times, That Gold Three Feet Away
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh)
Three Feet Away (Uh, Uh)
