Almost There - Ab-Soul[00:00:00]
I know exactly how it is to feel like no one cares[00:00:45]
About the hard work you put in but who said life was fair[00:00:48]
It sure wasn't me I take the bitter with the sweet[00:00:51]
And boil it in the pot make a hot toddy[00:00:54]
I said if I'm going to play I'm going to play for keeps[00:00:57]
Raise stakes take stage speak my peace[00:01:00]
Make my pay take my lady on a date[00:01:03]
Send my parents on a cruise[00:01:05]
Living somewhere with a killer view oh the irony I spew[00:01:07]
But for now the studio couches gonna have to do[00:01:11]
I ain't going to take what I ain't earned myself foolish pride[00:01:14]
That's what you need to survive it's do or die[00:01:17]
So step aside I don't mean no trouble[00:01:21]
Just want to be someone that CJ could look up to[00:01:23]
Oh and just so you know[00:01:27]
When I'm on the road I'm at the traveled not the W[00:01:29]
Almost there almost there almost there[00:01:34]
The finish line is in sight but I'm almost there almost there almost there[00:01:37]
Almost there almost there almost there[00:01:45]
Even if the sun don't shine the sun don't shine almost[00:01:50]
Somebody asked me what you mean by long-term mentality actually[00:01:55]
So I had to break it down[00:02:00]
Don't get caught up in the now focus on the years abroad[00:02:01]
Cause today you're here but tomorrow you could be gone[00:02:05]
Singing the same old song[00:02:08]
And who's the place to blame on other than you[00:02:11]
Whatever it is you do[00:02:14]
From slagging eight balls to graduating from school[00:02:16]
Just gotta see it all before it happens[00:02:20]
I ain't saying see a psychic[00:02:23]
I'm just saying have a idea of what you're accomplishing[00:02:24]
You'll have a greater chance to accomplish it[00:02:29]
You know a little strategy premeditation[00:02:31]
Wins races nine times out of ten[00:02:35]
As if losing's ever an option[00:02:38]
Had to bust my own bubble I really thought I was popping[00:02:40]
Almost there almost there almost there[00:02:45]
The finish line is in sight but I'm almost there almost there almost there[00:02:48]
Almost there almost there almost there almost there[00:02:53]
Even if the sun don't shine the sun don't shine almost[00:03:00]
Just know your future's right around the corner[00:03:08]
Opportunity galore for ya[00:03:10]
More and more you'll start to see it's no limit to what you can be[00:03:12]
In any event eventually[00:03:16]
Treat your first like your last time[00:03:18]
Cause it might be your last time that's what I learned last time[00:03:20]
Look forward to looking forward in my pastime[00:03:25]
You just letting time pass like that's fine as wine[00:03:28]
Contrary to popular belief I want the peace[00:03:31]
They say I'm headed hell-bound at god's speed[00:03:34]
Gesundheit or bless me if you like[00:03:36]
As I put my faith in this bud and bud-light[00:03:39]
I've been patiently waiting for a track to explode on[00:03:42]
Talk my shit drop my load on[00:03:45]
Hold on I don't think you know how close I am[00:03:48]
By the time this song's done I'm already there[00:03:51]
