Almost There

[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 round
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
Tryin' 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 tryin' keep sane
Eyes on the hourglass countin' each grain
Everything that's come to pass 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
Though the roots of who I am still remain
Ain't runnin' in place caught in a freeze frame
Stuck on a step repeat tryin' to 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 in the 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 road sign
Gettin' to the end of the tunnel is a slow grind
Starin' at the light to long you could go blind
I ain't frightened, 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, yeah 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 tryin' analyze who I really am inside
So I just put it in a song and let the fans decide

[Outro]
We almost there (x13)
