Till I Get There

[Verse 1]

Album on hold, whole world on hold

The crowd is like "ho!", operator's like "hold"

Man, now ain't that cold?

I'm just trying to talk to my homie, that's up in the hole

Now homegirl not trying to be a ho, even though she on a pole

Can she get a second chance? NO!

Whoa! Like the opposite of gold

That ain't how it's supposed to be: a butterfly

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 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 and

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

Hook:

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

Until I get there

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

But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it

When I get there

When I get there

[Verse 2]

"Doctor doctor please! The fame ain't painless enough"

That's cause you ain't famous enough

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

He said "take 2 of these and put change in my cup"

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

Grabbed me a publicist and pointed me to the door

"Out!" Ouch.. I'm telling you this all from a therapist's couch

"Tell me about your mother? What she's all about?"

Prescribed me an interview and then told me to bounce

Damn..geez. The world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these skis

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

Went unconscious, they rushed me to a concert

Instead of green jello, they made me chicken soup

They fed me magazine covers and video shoots

Hook:

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

Until I get there

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

But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it

When I get there

When I get there

[Verse 3]

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

Evel as Knievel, I'mma jump so far

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

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

Huh? Instead of 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"

Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar

Something I was taught, something I had lost

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

All you gotta do is just remember where you came from
