Songtexte Almost There - Michael Elias

So Rich the man right?
Went to college got some knowledge
Tried to finish what he started
On the way the path had parted
He got lost and kinda startled
This ain't the path he charted
He grew up and thought one day he'd be some kind of martyr
Die for the cause right?
Question is which one?
Can he just switch up?
Look at the cops and cross that want his hands to lift up
This ain't a stick up
But we should really pick one
Die for crimes we either did or ain't commit huh

I stay so low to the ground
I know this dirt will call my name
I pray for more of the strength
That me got thru the aches and pains
Yeah
I look up to sun like I've seen brighter days but
Know this isn't half the world and this isn't end game
Nah!

Because Im almost there
Because Im almost there
Because Im almost
Yeah Im almost
Yeah Im almost there
I said Im almost there
I said Im almost there
Im almost
Yeah Im almost
Yeah Im almost
I said Im almost there

There? What's that?
Which way better for the ones that
Are Ready for the love
But haven't got the trust and
Haven't really healed from getting messed up
So we get dressed up and pressed up
And go out to the world
Go out for the girls and out for the drinks
And out for the swirls of life and
Get distracted by the thrills of night life
But are we living
Truth be told it's all this sinning
Believe in God or not it's all but winning
Cuz habits form and heads get spinning
And death be grinning at toxic citizens
The clock be ticking in all the minutes
Of The day go figuring
Whether to seize it or let it go for the glistening
Shimmering lies
Bitter and wry
But it's not just you, Oh didn't I mention these are my eyes
Envisioning Wanda
Sending in a picture of me missing the mark of
Everything that's switching and I'm losing the spark of
Creating and saying the statements
I'm praying the way that I'm taking is straightened
I'm playing a turn in a dangerous game
While I saw off the leg that keeps turning away from the path
That needs me to stand up and become the man
Developing steps that I'll take in the plan
Making a way and not waiting for chance
To shine on my grave when I know that can
Do it now, shoot it down
Believing if I move the crowd, I'll do em proud
But even if I woo and wow and hoot and howl
It's nothing if the prose don't match up with the movements sound

I stay so low to the ground I know this dirt will call my name
I pray for more of the strength that me got thru the aches and pains
Yeah
I look up to sun like I've seen brighter days but
Know this isn't half the world and this isn't end game
Nah!

Because Im almost there
Because Im almost there
Because Im almost
Yeah Im almost
Yeah Im almost there
I said Im almost there
I said Im almost there
Im almost
Yeah Im almost
Yeah Im almost
I said Im almost there
