Almost There -Ill Camille
Blessed
So let me tell you this here
So my soul ain't for sale
And you don't want no beef ni**a
I'm way too rare
Yeah I'm way too real
I'm just scratching the surface and
And mama needs new nails
Tuck your fine jewels
Either you sink or you swim
I been a rider since tricycles with two pigtails
I'm magnetic so sucker's repel
They fall back from where they came
The same cloth as the greats
That's why every beat laced up
This a state of an emergency
We need the truth with all urgency
So much dialogue about balling and currency
That being a broke negro can be discouraging
I'm still at it though
I'm from the tribe of back slap a hoe
I hustle like I'm slanging bags of d**e
On the curb
I came up from the turf
Where the breeze and bomb palm trees
Make it picture perf
I went through a lot of hurt
Now I am trying to get them dollars
Holler at you on the 1st
You trying to get these panties
Say brotha
I'm trying to work
I'm trying to earn
My spot up next to hova either
Heaven or earth
A lot of heart under my shirt
Being famous has it's perks
I'm just a regular person
Why you mad
I'm fulfilling my purpose
If you ain't keeping sh*t straight
You'll get curved quick
But in the end it's all worth it
We're almost there
Almost there
Hmm almost there
We're almost there
Yeah
Ohhh
Pay attention
Pay dues
No walking blindly
No walk
Everything will be alright
It's all 'bout timing
On time
Keep pushing
'Cause we're almost there
'Cause we're almost there
Ohhh
Where's the silver lining
Forever I be grinding
Product of a convict and a fox that went to college
Nae nae's baby
Big mike's daughter
I be making sure my chakra
And my aura is in order
So color me bad
Shell toes winter white
Dipping through traffic
In high contrast
So engulfed with living fast
That my soul died slow
And this little light of mine
Wouldn't shine no mo'
What it is
Skin shade of a penny
Seen plenty
Jody's and evettes
Walking up out of that clinic
They can't afford to not abort
I can't afford to not record
And be sitting up in prison and in court
But someday I'll push a porsche
Nice floors
Wood grain
With a turquoise ring
To mark the day that I came
It was 1215 born in the year of the boar
That's why I always stay the course
'Cause we're almost there
Almost there
See we're lmost there
We're almost there
Ohhh
Pay attention
Pay dues
No walking blindly
Everything will be alright
It's all 'bout timing
Keep pushing
'Cause we're almost there
We're almost there
Ohhh
Road trip
I am 'bout to hop in the rocket and punch it
Head to the function
Yo I swear
A ni**a be lunching
I been ready with my fit on
Gassed up
Early in the morning
I already know the trip long but
I'm ready to leave the solar system
Sensei know I'm on the way
He can already sense it
He been waiting for my return
Since my last visit
Hit the sky
Oh me oh my
How do I miss it
Mission is unclear
But even without my vision
I had a dumb year
Close my eyes
All I hear 'em say is keep going
So I keep rolling at light's speed
Until I reach the shooting star
That I have in my reach
Preach
I see you on your way too
I pray when you arrive
You're happy where you heart might take you
In the meantime
Protect your 3 eyes
And never rewind
I'm in the sky feeling fly
'Cause we're almost there
Almost there
Hmm yeah yeah
We're almost there
Yeah yeah
Ohhh
Pay attention
Pay dues
No walking blindly
Everything will be alright
It's all 'bout timing
Keep pushing
'Cause we're almost there
'Cause we're almost there
Ohhh
'Cause we're almost there
'Cause we're almost there
Blessed
So blessed
So blessed
Yeah we're almost there
So blessed
