Almost Home by Sian Cotton Lyrics
[Intro]
New dreams replace the old ones
The old ones that never came true
And the same things that make you smile can make you cry
And I know it took a while
But look at me now
[Verse 1]
Why they hatin', why they hatin'
Wish you and yours the best
Feel so blatant now I tribute it to Satan
I do me, made it for the rest
You live and you die, in between's the real test
It starts in the mind, ends with the soul
So I need blood on the net of every goal
Slidin' on my knees and I'm praying to the lord
Beggin' "God please let this will be yours"
Who knew I'd open up this count of sales
It was always true I rap out like I'm Santa's elves
I need it all, don't try to give me half
This is for who said I never will and never have
Add it to the top, follow that cab
Shit could get cray, I don't hustle ever
Hope your niggas respect ya'
Trouble neglect ya'
Angels protect ya'
And the heavens accept ya'
[Chorus]
I'm almost home
I know you miss me girl, when I walk through the door you better kiss me girl
I done run through hell's fire just to get to you
And to think, I loved you when I barely knew you
Imagination just a runnin' wild, wanna rubble over you and make a love child
I'm almost home, and I'm sorry if I took to long
Okay, okay
[Verse 2]
We ran the street like Usain Bolt
Everybody ganging' up in the same boat
Miami wind just blowin' through her hair
[?] in the same boat
She wanna live life without a care
Now she pourin' champagne down her damn throat
Not tryna fit in I was born to stand out
Cake's in the oven, watch how it pans out
Ran and I ran 'till I couldn't no more
I wanted more than the money and the lord
When you, hear the truth it's so hard to ignore
Do they not see it, or are they unsure
Either way I'm out, get into my zone
High as the Northstar, I work hard as a drone
Either you love me or not, if it''s on it's on
But that don't change the fact I'm almost home
[Chrous]
I'm almost home
I know you miss me girl, when I walk through the door you better kiss me girl
I done run through hell's fire just to get to you
And to think, I loved you when I barely knew you
Imagination just a runnin' wild, wanna rubble over you and make a love child
I'm almost home, and I'm sorry if I took to long
[Bridge]
New dreams replace the old ones
The old ones that never came true
And the same things that make you smile can make you cry
And I know it took a while
But look at me now
[Verse 3]
I lost a friend to the game and another to the fame
Look into my eyes, can tell it's weighin' on my brain
So I, so I smoke 'till mama say "that's a shame"
Then I light another for the night they killed my brother
I try to run but it drew me back in
Now I'm thinkin' I can swim, I can swim
Somehow I knew we see better days
At last, at last, say it ever change
When the real around, the fake they shrink
I can look in your face and tell your heart'll sink
They took the hourglass and left me the sand
And I can feel time slippin' through my hands
I call my girl "should I be home by eight?"
Whatever you cooking' baby, make me a plate
I'ma kiss yo' neck, you can rub my back
I'ma love on you and you can love me back
[Chorus]
I'm almost home
I know you miss me girl, when I walk through the door you better kiss me girl
I done run through hell's fire just to get to you
And to think, I loved you when I barely knew you
Imagination just a runnin' wild, wanna rubble over you and make a love child
I'm almost home, and I'm sorry if I took to long
Okay, okay
New dreams replace the old ones
The old ones that never came true
And the same things that make you smile can make you cry
And I know it took a while
But look at me now
[Verse 1]
Why they hatin', why they hatin'
