Almost There

[Intro: Mike Dreams]
Yeah
I know sometimes you just have one of those nights
Feel this
Rock...Mike!

[Verse 1: Mike Dreams]
I woke up with a lot up on my mind
Still feelin' like a legend in my prime
And I ain't even on yet
Man, the truth is I ain't even on yet
But am I in my zone? Yes!
Not a child no more, I'm all grown
And the city that I've always called home
With them bittersweet feelings
For people when you tryin' to do your thing
Get offended if you chasin' after fame
But I'll always rise above, though
My name known a little bit in the streets and on the scene
But I don't be in the club, though
Rather hit the studio up
My homies school me, I hop on the passenger side
But I am not a scrub, though
And there's nothin' Unpretty 'bout this Chilli night
Creep in the city have to show you what it's really like
Lookin' to the skyline for inspiration
My only occupation's dreamchasin'
I'm almost there!

[Hook: Mike Dreams (Christina Sophia) Both]
I woke up today just feelin' like I was on my way
I'm so far ahead, I no longer hear what they say
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world right now
And nothin' else can bring me back down, down
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
And tonight I can feel it in the air
It's feelin' like I'm almost there!

[Verse 2: Mike Dreams]
I'm from a place where everyone wants to be famous
But since we ain't prophecies, nobody wants to claim us
I swear it's hard to not feel feel like you the greatest
When surrounded by the lamest who make music
To degrade us
Some days I feel jaded, I'm spillin' my soul
'Til I no longer can contain it when it's fillin' a container
Not only an entertainer but wanna get 'em to listen too
Ain't tryin' to be an old head talkin' 'bout what I didn't do
Or what I coulda done
So I'm no longer tunin' in to these nobodies tellin' me what I shoulda done
And ain't never did it, never attempted
Can settle for silver medals, but that gold life is temptin'!
Why?
'Cause we all wanna stunt a lil' bit
I take it, that's the reason why they front a lil' bit
I'm just tryin' to keep it real but still have mass appeal
Rollin' through my city, this is how I feel
I'm almost there!

[Hook: Mike Dreams (Christina Sophia) Both]

And nothin' else can bring me back down, down
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
And tonight I can feel it in the air
It's feelin' like I'm almost there!

[Verse 3: Mike Dreams]
I still, I still got them Nikki Giovanni dreams
Though I'm faced with these new Maserati schemes
Poetic ambition for that coupe addiction
While still makin' the music that'll get the youth to listen
Us rappers are euphemisms for the biggest contradictions
[?] pray God he'll find afflction
Can't afford Dior but I still rep Christian
'Cause I got it in my genes, I call it my True Religion!
The $400 pair don't compare to these
Lot of dudes in my city lookin' like parodies
I will live inside my means
'Til I can say that I ball like Kareem and did you catch that double meaning?
From the place where Prince placed prints in the sidewalk
Doves Cryin' Purple Rain everywhere that I walk
And ambition is my city's ID
For now, I'm my city's IV
Y'all know where I be!

[Hook: Mike Dreams (Christina Sophia) Both]
I woke up today just feelin' like I was on my way
I'm so far ahead, I no longer hear what they say
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world right now
And nothin' else can bring me back down, down
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
And tonight I can feel it in the air
It's feelin' like I'm almost there!

I woke up today just feelin' like I was on my way
I'm so far ahead, I no longer hear what they say
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world right now
And nothin' else can bring me back down, down
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
And tonight I can feel it in the air
It's feelin' like I'm almost there!

[Outro: Mike Dreams]
