Gemstones - Almost Home lyrics

[Hook: GemStones] Just hold on, I say Night turns dawn, have faith We're almost home, half way You be strong I pray We're almost Home [Verse 1: GemStones] What they give you? Twenty million? Twelve thousand? A few Lamborghinis, couple houses Lifetime's supply of wire cell trousers Got you pa**ing turkeys out to show you care about us But what about the life that you promote to make us doubt us? Or robbing us of all our hope to sell a couple albums I'm sure that this would be insulting to the brother Malcolm And the marching that Martin thought would bring another outcome You're either flying in the friendly skies with the falcons Or dyin' at the giant's feet, right beside the mouse's Features more than country stores and how to buy your outfit Why keep us numb, dumb and living on our momma's couches? What have we become, I can't believe that we've allowed this Shunned because I ain't shooting guns and bagging ounces I'd rather lose my tongue and have nothing to pronounce wit You feel the same way, you're just afraid to announce it [Hook: GemStones] Just hold on, I say Night turns dawn, have faith We're almost home, half way You be strong I pray We're almost Home [Verse 2: GemStones] They say the game is to be sold I could share some stories with you Lupe ever told From the po-lice locking Chilly up to hanging out with Hov To the monies that I've never seen off albums that were sold In the industry where everybody's fighting for control Over pennies when they clearly should be fighting for their souls It stripped me of my inner peace, my energy was cold Imagery's the centrepiece, was empty in the soul Friends become your frenemies and spite you coz your goals Hurts you, coz the ones you thought would never turn to foes But never did I fall My God could open doors for me no man could ever close Grace always protecting me from wolves that come in droves Crazy how these blasphemies coz surely I've been chose My great amounts of treachery has yet to be disclosed And my destiny's so checked for me, respected round the globe [Hook: GemStones] Just hold on, I say Night turns dawn, have faith We're almost home, half way You be strong I pray We're almost Home [Verse 3: GemStones] Had no idea that Christian rap and Gospel music weren't the same I'm thinking, "What's the difference? They both call on Jesus' name" Tryna come to grips with it because it's boggling my brain Who cares how you deliver it? You choose to rap, he choose to sing My only issue is you people kinda box me in a lane Put limits on a gift that God has totally ordained I'm bumping Tasha Cobbs until I'm broken from these chains You sure you're doing this for God? Or is it really for the fame? Is it just a cover up to get your foot inside the game? And when you make it to the top then you'll forget from what you came? Are you denying the title of the genre because you're ashamed? Deny Me on the earth and I'll deny you where I reign [Hook: GemStones] Just hold on, I say Night turns dawn, have faith We're almost home, half way You be strong I pray We're almost Home (We're almost home We're almost home, we're almost home) X4
