Till I Get There

Album on hold whole world on hold

The crowd is "HO!" Operator's like "hold"

Man, now ain't that cold?

I'm just tryna talk to my homie that's up in a hole

Now home girl no tryna be a hoe

Even though she on a pole

Now can she get a second chance? No!

Woah, like the opposite of go

That ain't how it's supposed to be(bee), or butterfly

Or for the sake of rhyming let's just say "butterflyee"

The truth stings like Muhammad Ali

I tell 'em tell 'em don't homocide me

I'm just a little old hope with his back against the ropes

Fighting for his fans and, fighting for his folks

But the boo's from the crowd can become so loud

If I could block em out then, I could knock em out then

Dance around the ring, but until then I'll say

I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me

It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be

Until I get there

And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect

But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it

When I get there

Doctor doctor please, the fame ain't painless enough

That's cuz you ain't famous enough

You got a little game, but your name ain't ringing enough

He said take two of these, put some change in my cup

I said I wasn't poor he gave me some more

Prescribed me a publicist and pointed to the door

Out, ouch, I'm telling you this all from a therapist's couch

Tell me 'bout your mother, what she's all about

Prescribed me a interview and then told me to bounce

Damn, jeez, the world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these ski's

Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees

Rendered unconscious they rushed me to a concert

Instead of green jello, and maybe chicken soup

They fed me magazine covers, and video shoots

I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me

It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be

Until I get there

And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect

But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it

When I get there

And when I finally make it I'mma stunt so hard

Evil as Knievel I'mma jump so far

Way up in the atmosphere, I ain't coming back

Be a jerk to them jerks yeah, that'll make 'em hurt

Huh? Said a young boy in the mirror

A young version of me, so I started to tear up

He said you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up

You're already here, just be yourself from here up

And then he disappeared and I felt something familiar

Something I was taught, something I had lost

If you are afraid, or fear that you gon' change some

All you gotta do is just remember where you came from

I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me

It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be

Until I get there

And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect

But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it

When I get there
