Almost There (feat. BJ The Chicago Kid) |
I know exactly how it is to feel like no one cares |
About the hard work you put in but who said life was fair? |
It sure wasn’t me I take the bitter with the sweet |
And boil it in the pot make a hot toddy |
I said If I’m going to play I’m going to play for keeps |
Raise stakes, take stage, speak my peace |
Make my pay, take my lady on a date |
Send my parents on a cruise |
Living, somewhere with a killer view, oh the irony I spew |
But for now the studio couches gonna have to do |
I ain’t going to take what I ain’t earned myself, foolish pride |
That’s what you need to survive, it’s do or die |
So step aside I don’t mean no trouble |
Just want to be someone that CJ could look up to |
Oh, and just so you know |
When I’m on the road I’m at the Travelodge not The W |
Almost there, almost there, almost there |
The finish line is in sight but I’m almost there, almost there, almost there |
Almost there, almost there, almost there |
Even if the sun don’t shine the sun don’t shine, almost |
Somebody asked me, what you mean by longterm mentality, actually? |
So I had to break it down: |
Don’t get caught up in the now, focus on the years abroad |
Cause today you’re here but tommorow you could be gone |
Singing the same old song |
And who’s the place to blame on? |
Other than you |
Whatever it is you do |
From slanging eight balls to graduating from school |
Just gotta see it all before it happens |
I ain’t saying see a psychic |
I’m just saying have a, idea of what you’re accomplishing |
You’ll have a greater chance to accomplish it |
You know a little strategy, premeditation |
Wins races nine times out of ten |
As if losing’s ever an option |
Had to bust my own bubble I really thought I was popping |
(Not quite) |
Almost there, almost there, almost there |
The finish line is in sight but I’m almost there, almost there, almost there |
Almost there, almost there, almost there |
Even if the sun don’t shine the sun don’t shine, almost |
Just know your future’s right around the corner |
Oppurtunity galore for ya |
More and more you’ll start to see it’s no limit to what you can be |
In any event, eventually |
Treat your first like your last time |
Cause it might be your last time, that’s what I learned last time |
Look forward to looking forward in my pastime |
You just letting time pass like «that's fine» as wine |
Contrary to popular belief, I want the peace |
They say I’m headed hellbound at God’s speed |
Gesundheit, or bless me if you like |
As I, put my faith in this bud and budlight |
I’ve been patiently waiting for a track to explode on |
Talk my shit, drop my load on |
Hold on, I don’t think you know how close I am |
By the time this song’s done I’m already there |
