Almost There

I look at myself, looking at the man I become
I ran the gamut in the kingdom of the cannons and guns
Where they worship dollar bills, pussy and powerful men
When the odds is stacked against its really doubtful you win
Hardly possible to live without sin the rules is different
Where arrogant motherfuckers can become a shooting victim
It’s strange though, how the dough can make men change
But that’s the game, we gotta cake up no need to explain
Ain’t no loyalty when it comes to making a name
Just opportunism as soon as the buzz starts to flame
Not for the faint hearted and every week we change jargon
Hand to hand, contraband we trade like James Harden
To finance our projects and dream of a life that’s more hopeful alcohol and
smoke we breath in at night
Losing friends, family members as the season cycles
Just a secret oath we live by, street disciples
Yo we almost there I can see the light
Make sure u drink water keep y’a body energized
They don’t care about you just telling u the truth
The only time things’ll move is when u do you
Yo duffle bags and puffer jackets I never hustle backwards
But all these green backs can’t make up for my brothers absence
Subtle action the nuance and the body language
Peep the desperation in his gaze that man is probably famished
Gotta watch y’a six usually walk with tribes of seven
Cause foolish pride can lead to death in less than nanoseconds
When mental health is bad, feel I been thru hell and back
To get a stack sacrificed things u never getting back
I didn’t shed tears I spent money on my sorrows
When you lack some purpose might as well be no tomorrow
You ever felt so betrayed over some hoe shit so called friends
Who sabotage before the wheels in motion
Dealing with some real emotions where you question everything
And why is it when you fall at the bottom y’a phone never rings
And it still stings with all the things it brings back up
Cause when y’a broken it takes character to build back up
Yo we almost there I can see the light
Make sure u drink water keep y’a body energized
They don’t care about you just telling u the truth
The only time things’ll move is when u do you
