[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)
