[Intro]
Oohhh and,i'm almost there ooh,oohh I'm almost there(x2)
[Verse 1]
I seen a lot of back and forths had a lot of ups and downs
Met a lot of surface deep people on the underground
Loudmouths get quiet when i come a around
Look me in my eyes coward say somethin' now
Bunch of clowns just jealous cause they want the crown
I won the belt but now i gotta buckle down
Headed for the 12th 'bout to be the toughest ?
Squarin off with the clock times runnin out
But my hands ain't idle while the seconds go
I set my own pace to the metronome
Cause time won't wait and I'm gettin grown
Trynna build a legacy out of flesh and bone
Either way each stage is a stepping stone
But sometimes the spotlights best left alone
I've never left the throne,it's my second home
But the head that holds the crown bears a heavy load
Gotta keep every angle in perspective though
One mans trash is another mans treasure trove
And i've seen rich men chase beggars gold
So if I'm on the right path only heaven knows
Am i movin to fast in the speed lane
On the edge of losin my grasp trynna keep sane
Eyes on the hourgla** countin each grain
Everything thats come to pa** was the pre-game
So now people from my past say that he's changed
They don't recognize the insight we've gained
When you knew me last i was teenage
If i hadn't grown by now that would be strange
But the roots of who i am still remain
One ?? in place caught in the freeze frame
Gonna step in repeat trynna reach fame
Able to stand on my own i don't need cane
Can't knock me off my feet I'm followin my dreams like I'm walkin in my sleep
Earned a place and a plot for my coffin very deep
They say actions speak volumes and talk is very cheap
So put your 2 cents in,i don't pay it no mind
Hands on the steering wheel,eyes on the roadsign
Gettin to the end of the tunnel is a slow grind
Starin at the light to long you could go blind
I ain't frieghtened i been guided by my own shine
Future lookin brighter than the diamond in the coalmine
And i can feel the chills risin up my own spine
Everyone i look to as my idol gives me co-signs?
Show time,yea the moment has arrived
About which,as a kid, i would fantasize
But whatever i achieve i ain't satisfied
Cause things not always as they seem or how they advertised
So still I'm feelin camera shy
Somethin that i can't describe
Sick of trynna an*lyze who i really am inside
So i just put it in a song and let the fans decide
[Outro]
We almost there(x13)
