Almost Home

[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 passing 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) X4
