Almost Home
[Intro]
If I can just make it up there
[Verse 1]
He woke up with his hands shaking
Screaming inside the veterans hospital
The nurse gives him a sedative
Tears streaming down his face
Quality of life got him thinking different bout medicine
Thinking different bout evidence of God's love
Now he's thinking different what heaven is
Used to be perfectionist
Two amputated legs, just feeling out what his perspective is
His wife tried to her best to be a rock for him
She said its over, and its totally a shock to him
Like God's mocking him, cursing at the sky in a moment of weakness
Lets the curses fly in the moment he's weeping
Lonely and weak
It's hard to find the sin in being suicidal
When your life is feeling kamikaze
When it seem like the only present you can give
Is being absent from the body
[Hook 1]
He's almost home
Almost home
He's just tryna make it
See, he's almost home
We almost home
See the hope
Tryna make it
[Verse 2]
I hear em saying seeing is believing
The lens of the scripture only see us as bulimic
Appetite for futility
After all the flashing light's the question of the afterlife
Weighs on our conscience, one of life's constants
Clay jars, but we scared of the contents
Used to blow my money in an Eastbay
In Columbus with a longing for a beach day
Now long days so cliche
I seen too much like the Michael Sam replay
See the agenda in lust for same genders
See the Olympics and underage gymnasts
They tryna turn ministers to menaces
Shutting down businesses owned by they witnesses
Got them Faces flushed when they read em and weep
Guess that Freedom of speech getting stripped
So I'm tryna play my cards, Fleer
Tryna see it through, sheer
Counting it as precious, but I'm so torn
Cause I don't want another second here
Can't see them snakes, see my homie dropping dead
It's shaking down my confidence
It's venom in them fangs
Penny for your thoughts like a copperhead
Show me where the monster is
From porches to Porsches caught up in this vortex till I come to
The looking glass mystery, call me gumshoe
Show me where that parish is till I find home
Even that life where it perishes
Take away appearances, and show me who the fairest is
[Hook 2]
I'm almost home
Just tryna get there
I'm almost home
I'm almost home
So close
Just tryna make it
Yeah
Almost home
